SKF 51204 Thrust Ball Bearing- Open Type 20mm I.D, 40mm O.D

Suitable for bearing mono-directional axial loads
Can support the shaft on one side, but should not be subjected to radial loads
One-direction axial grooved ball bearings
Shaft ring, flat seal and the ballset held in a cage
These bearings come apart, so the bearing parts can be mounted separately and easily.

Use this thrust ball bearing from SKF to reduce friction on your machine's moving parts. It's suited to applications where equipment carries heavy axial loads parallel to the shaft, but no radial load. A durable one-piece brass cage contains 12 balls and is enclosed by a grooved thrust plate on either side. This construction makes the unit reliably strong and able to work effectively in tall rotating machinery, such as that found in the agricultural sector.

• Limiting speed of 8,000r/min (rotations per minute) and reference speed of 6,000r/min ensures it's suitable for high-speed applications
• Corrosion-resistant steel material for long-lasting operation and low maintenance

• Material handling equipment
• Food processing industry
• Machine tools

You should periodically inspect, clean and lubricate this bearing. Check to ensure that it's always aligned with the shaft for optimal performance and lubricate it with grease to reduce friction and wear. If you notice any defect, you should change it immediately.

This ball bearing has a 40mm outer diameter, a 22mm inner diameter and a race width of 14mm.
