SKF 51210 Thrust Ball Bearing- Open Type 50mm I.D, 78mm O.D

SKF Plain Thrust Ball Bearing, 50 mm ID - 51210This SKF thrust bearing is designed to support axial loads in tall rotating applications such as screw-down systems. Its steel composition makes it robust and corrosion-resistant, as well as low on maintenance. Lubrication is easy thanks to its pressed steel cage, which offers more space between the bearings inner and outer rings. The unit consists of a separate shaft washer, housing washer and ball and cage, so its simple to assemble and mount.• Thrust ball bearing type • Parallel bore type • Cage material of pressed steel • Other components made of steel • Dynamic load rating of 49 kN • Static load rating of 116 kN • Inner diameter of 50 mm • Outer diameter of 78 mm • Single row • Plain race type • Race width of 22 mmApplication Information• Agriculture • Material handling • Machine tools • PrintworksWhy do I have to lubricate steel bearings?The metal-on-metal contact experienced in steel ball bearings creates friction, causing the component to wear. Lubrication reduces this friction and slows down degradation. It also helps protect the bearing against surface corrosion.Can this ball bearing support a radial load?A thrust bearing is specifically designed to assist rotation around a fixed shaft. This makes it unsuitable for use with radial load applications.
