51496 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 51496 metric thrust ball bearing represents a high-capacity solution for heavy-duty axial load applications. Engineered for thrust load direction, this bearing is designed to accommodate exceptionally high axial forces while maintaining structural integrity. Its large bore diameter of 480 mm and substantial cross-section provide superior load distribution and stability. Manufactured from 52100 Chrome Steel for both rings and balls, it ensures excellent wear resistance and durability in demanding industrial environments, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable performance under significant static and dynamic axial loads.

51496 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
This thrust ball bearing features a robust construction with Chrome Steel cage material that ensures optimal ball guidance and distribution. The axial dynamic load rating of 503,347 lbf and axial static load rating of 3,274,567 lbf demonstrate its exceptional capacity to handle heavy thrust loads. The precision-ground raceways and balls provide smooth operation under high axial forces. The bearing's temperature range of -30° to 110°C allows for operation in varied environmental conditions, while its 747.5 kg weight reflects the substantial material strength required for such high-load applications. The limiting speed of 0.31 x 1000 rpm is optimized for heavy-duty, low-to-moderate speed applications where axial load capacity is paramount.
