51438 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 51438 is a metric thrust ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring exceptional axial load capacity. This precision bearing is designed exclusively to accommodate heavy thrust loads in one direction, featuring a robust construction with a 190 mm bore and 380 mm outside diameter. Manufactured from 52100 Chrome Steel, it delivers high strength and durability, making it an ideal solution for high-load, low-speed scenarios where reliable axial support is critical. Its open design necessitates proper lubrication for optimal performance.
