SKF 51208 Thrust Ball Bearing- Open Type 40mm I.D, 68mm O.D

Steel Ball Thrust Bearings, SKF

SKF thrust ball bearings are designed to hold axial loads produced during shaft rotation and must not be exposed to any radial loads. These bearings consist of two strong and ground thrust plates with matching ball grooves on one side and 1- piece brass cage that contains the identical balls.

Why choose thrust ball bearing?

These bearings are essential for tall rotating applications (mostly over 4 feet in height). Thrust bearings are ideal for applications experiencing heavy axial loads, such as mill stands, screw-down systems and piercing mills.

Lubrication of Thrust ball bearings

Metal upon metal contact produces large amounts of friction and stress in the metals. This friction usually adds to the premature wear and tear of the metal while slowly degrading it. To reduce friction, prevent wear and protect bearing surfaces from corrosion lubrication of bearings is really important. It is also cost-effective and easy to apply by maintenance professionals.

Why choose a steel ball bearing?

Steel is perfect material for ball bearings because it provides strength and reliability as well as being corrosion resistant. Steel ball bearings are suitable for installing due to low maintenance and long durability.
