The thrust ball bearing is a single-row component that supports predominantly axial loads in one direction, with separable shaft and housing washers. It is used where the load pushes in the direction of the shaft and speeds are moderate, such as transmission columns, rotary tables and lifting mechanisms. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell the FAG line with the complete designation so that the quote is accurate.
The designation of this family is read as a series of five digits that starts with the series number and continues with the size: the smallest steps in each series are those with the lowest final numbers. The final number indicates the size of the assembly, not a loose measurement. When the code includes suffixes, it is advisable to read them with the manufacturer's product page: they change execution details, not the concept of the product.
In Argentine industry these thrust bearings appear in presses, screw elevators, cutting tables, milling heads and materials handling equipment. They are also found in gearboxes and machine tools where the load is thrust and there is no relevant radial component. In those assemblies, the bearing works supported on flat surfaces and requires that the housing and shaft be well seated.
To select, start from the axial load that the assembly will support and the direction of that load: the single-row thrust ball bearing takes thrust in one direction. Check the permissible rotation speed, because these bearings are not designed for high speeds. During assembly, take care with the perpendicularity of the support faces and the alignment between shaft and housing; a tilted face concentrates the load on a few balls. Lubrication must reach the raceway and be renewed according to the operating regime.
Between brands, interchangeability is resolved by designation and by mounting dimensions: a thrust bearing of the same series from another manufacturer with the same code usually shares diameters and height. Still, before replacing, compare the suffix and the execution, because two bearings with the same number may differ in cage or treatment. If you have doubts, send us the original code and that of the equipment where it is mounted.
If you need a FAG thrust ball bearing for equipment in operation, send the code by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With the complete designation and, if possible, a photo of the assembly, we will quote you promptly and advise you on the correct variant.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 511 series mean in a thrust ball bearing?
- It is the designation of a family of single-row thrust ball bearings. The five digits start with the series number and the final number indicates the size of the assembly. For replacement, the complete code is the governing data.
- Can I replace a thrust ball bearing with one from another brand?
- Generally yes, if the designation and mounting dimensions match. Before changing it, compare the suffix and the execution, because two bearings with the same number may differ in cage or treatment. Send the original code by WhatsApp and we will verify it.
- How is a thrust ball bearing mounted?
- It is mounted with the shaft and housing washers in their seats, with the support faces perpendicular to the shaft. Lubrication must reach the raceway and the alignment between shaft and housing must be careful, because the thrust bearing does not tolerate tilting.
