53201 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 53201 is a metric thrust ball bearing engineered for applications requiring high-precision axial load support. This thrust bearing is characterized by its compact design, featuring a 12 mm bore diameter and an 11.4 mm width, making it ideal for space-constrained assemblies. Manufactured from 52100 Chrome Steel for both rings and balls, it delivers excellent durability and wear resistance. Its primary function is to accommodate thrust loads in a single direction, providing reliable performance in high-speed and high-precision environments. The bearing is ROHS and REACH compliant, ensuring it meets modern environmental and safety standards.
