SKF 51238 M is a thrust ball bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for 51238 M via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The SKF 511 M series thrust ball bearing is a component designed to support predominantly axial loads in one direction. It is used in applications requiring high axial load capacity and rigidity, such as gearboxes, pumps, and compressors. Its single-row ball design and shaft washer with cylindrical bore allow for simple assembly and high precision. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this series as part of its SKF bearing line.

The designation 51130 M is read as follows: the prefix 511 indicates that it is a single-direction thrust ball bearing of the 511 series. The next two digits, 30, correspond to the diameter code, which in this series defines the bore size. The suffix M indicates that the cage is machined brass, which provides greater strength and suitability for high speeds. Other examples in the series are 51132 M, 51134 M, and 51136 M, which share the same design but with different dimensions.

These bearings are used in industries such as petrochemical, cement, steel, and food. In Argentina, they are common in centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, gearboxes, and rotary tables. Their ability to support axial loads makes them ideal for applications where the shaft must be kept in a vertical or horizontal position with one-directional thrust. They are also used in lifting equipment and in machine tool spindles.

To select the right bearing, take into account the axial load it must support, the rotation speed, and the environmental conditions. Verify that the housing and shaft have the appropriate hardness and roughness. Lubrication can be with grease or oil, depending on the application. It is essential to ensure correct alignment between the shaft and the housing to avoid additional loads. Assembly must be carried out with suitable tools to avoid damaging the rings.

Regarding equivalences, SKF 511 M series thrust ball bearings can be interchanged with products from other brands that follow the same dimensional designation. However, always verify the tolerances and cage type, as they can vary between manufacturers. For replacements, it is advisable to consult a specialist and provide the complete part number. MR Accesorios Industriales sells SKF as an official brand, which guarantees originality and technical support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the M suffix mean in an SKF 511 bearing?
The M suffix indicates that the bearing has a machined brass cage. This gives it greater strength and makes it suitable for applications with high speeds or more demanding loads.
Does this bearing support radial loads?
No, thrust ball bearings are designed to support mainly axial loads in one direction. For radial loads, other types of bearings must be used.
How can I tell if the 51130 M bearing is compatible with my equipment?
You must verify the bore, outside diameter, and width dimensions and compare them with those of the original bearing. It is also important to consider the axial load and operating speed. Consult us with the part number and we will advise you.
