RS PRO 51209 Thrust Ball Bearing- Open Type 45mm I.D, 73mm O.D

Introducing the range of RS PRO Thrust Ball Bearings, ideal for applications that experience heavy axial loads, like piercing mills, gearboxes and clutches. The rings and balls (or cage) come as 3 components to allow for quick and easy installation and reducing the risk of damaging the bearing internals during fitting and installation.

A thrust ball bearing is a type of bearing that has a higher load transfer capacity compared to standard bearings thanks to the evenly distributed load weight on the rolling elements. Designed to run at optimum performance while still providing a long service life as long as lubrication standards are met, these types of ball bearings can generally withstand longer maintenance intervals because they run quieter and cooler than other types, meaning less downtime for inspection, maintenance and repairs. They are especially useful because the design of them makes them much stronger, allowing them to experience heavy axial loads. Thrust ball bearings are commonly found in the following industries:

• Agriculture


• Industrial Manufacturing


• Automotive


• Materials Handling
