Thrust Ball Bearing – 51100 The double Direction Thrust ball bearings can support bi-directional loads. The bearings with spherical housing washer can prevent static misalignment Interference fit- Shaft washers have a ground bore to enable an interference fit. The bore of the housing washer is turned and always larger than the shaft washer bore. Initial misalignment- Bearings with sphere housing washer(s) can accommodate initial misalignment. Separable and interchangeable- The separable components Thrust ball bearings are interchangeable This facilitates mounting and dismounting, and maintenance inspections.
