51338 M Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 51338 M is a metric thrust ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring high axial load capacity and precision operation. This bearing is specifically designed to accommodate thrust loads in a single direction, making it an ideal solution for scenarios where heavy axial forces are predominant. Manufactured from high-grade 52100 Chrome Steel for both rings and balls, it ensures exceptional durability and wear resistance. Its open design allows for versatile lubrication options, while its robust construction guarantees high rigidity and reliable performance in industrial environments.
51338 M Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 51338: Denotes the standard thrust ball bearing series with a 190mm bore and 320mm outside diameter.
- M: Indicates that the bearing is manufactured from machined brass cage material. In this specific bearing, the cage is made from Stainless Steel, providing excellent strength and corrosion resistance for the guiding cage.
51338 M Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Axial Load Capacity: With an impressive axial dynamic load rating of 125,775 lbf and a massive axial static load rating of 495,000 lbf, this bearing is built to handle significant thrust forces, ensuring long service life under heavy loads.
- Precision Ground Components: The tight dimensional tolerances on the bore, outside diameter, and width contribute to precise shaft and housing fits, promoting accurate alignment and smooth operation.
- Optimized Cage Design: The stainless steel cage provides superior guidance for the balls, ensuring stable operation and contributing to the bearing's limiting speed of 1,000 rpm.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for operations from -30°C to 110°C, offering reliability across various environmental conditions.
- Compliant Material: The bearing is ROHS and REACH compliant, meeting modern environmental and safety standards.
51338 M Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Industrial Thrust Applications: Such as heavy-duty screw jacks, vertical pumps, and crane hooks.
- Power Transmission Systems: Used in applications like worm gear reducers where significant axial loads are present.
- Machine Tools: Employed in the positioning tables and spindles that require handling of high thrust loads.
- Marine and Offshore Equipment: Suitable for steering gears and propeller thrust blocks due to its high load capacity.
