How the 51113 model number is decoded
In the 51100-series (ISO 104 dimension series) the leading digits 511 mark a single-direction thrust ball bearing and the last two digits encode the bore: 51113 carries bore code 13 = 65 mm. The ISO 104 boundary dimensions are 65 mm bore, 90 mm outside diameter and 18 mm height. Two flat washers (shaft and housing) and a ball cage assembly allow the bearing to carry pure axial load in one direction while accommodating minor misalignment.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- paper mill roll axial restraint
- industrial motor and generator thrust
- heavy pump axial load support
- gearbox and reducer thrust management
Known failure patterns
- washer seat fretting from a loose housing or shaft fit
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling after the rated L10 life is exceeded
- cage wear or fracture from sustained vibration or shock loading
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At a 65 mm bore, thermal expansion of the shaft can preload the thrust bearing; verify the housing washer has radial clearance to float and compensate.
- The 511xx light section at 65 mm bore uses a smaller 90 mm OD than a 512xx; load ratings are lower, so do not replace a failed 512-series bearing with a 511-series without re-rating the load.
- Single-direction thrust ball bearings carry load in one direction only; for bidirectional thrust use a double-direction bearing or two single-direction units back-to-back.
- Thrust ball bearings carry axial load only — never apply radial load to 51113; the flat washers will skid and score.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 51113 thrust ball bearing?
A 51113 thrust ball bearing has a 65 mm bore, 90 mm outside diameter and 18 mm height, per ISO 104 boundary dimensions. It consists of a shaft washer, housing washer and ball cage assembly.
How does the 51113 bore code work?
The last two digits of 51113 are bore code 13, giving 13 × 5 = 65 mm bore. The 90 mm outside diameter and 18 mm height follow the ISO 104 dimension series, not the bore code alone.
Can a 51113 thrust ball bearing carry radial load?
No. Single-direction thrust ball bearings carry axial load only. Any radial component must be supported by a separate radial bearing (deep-groove, cylindrical roller or spherical roller).
How does the 51100 compare with other thrust series at the same 65 mm bore?
The 511xx is the light section: 90×18 mm with a 12.5 mm radial section at 65 mm bore — below 512/513/514 in load capacity, for light axial loads in compact spaces.
