How the 51413 model number is decoded

In the 51400-series (ISO 104 dimension series) the leading digits 514 mark a single-direction thrust ball bearing and the last two digits encode the bore: 51413 carries bore code 13 = 65 mm. The ISO 104 boundary dimensions are 65 mm bore, 140 mm outside diameter and 56 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

  • false brinelling from vibration while the shaft is stationary
  • smearing or scoring from marginal lubrication at start-up
  • raceway indentation from static overload or improper mounting force

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 514xx heavy section at 65 mm bore (140 mm OD) is built for high-load, lower-speed duty; specifying it in a high-rpm application gives excess heat and short grease life — use 511/512 there.
  • 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.
  • Minimum axial load is required to prevent ball skidding: at very light loads the balls slide rather than roll, causing smearing and early failure.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of a 51413 thrust ball bearing?

A 51413 thrust ball bearing has a 65 mm bore, 140 mm outside diameter and 56 mm height, per ISO 104 boundary dimensions. It consists of a shaft washer, housing washer and ball cage assembly.

How does the 51413 bore code work?

The last two digits of 51413 are bore code 13, giving 13 × 5 = 65 mm bore. The 140 mm outside diameter and 56 mm height follow the ISO 104 dimension series, not the bore code alone.

Can a 51413 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 51400 compare with other thrust series at the same 65 mm bore?

The 514xx is the heavy section: 140×56 mm, 37.5 mm radial section at 65 mm bore — the highest-capacity single-direction thrust option here, aimed at lower-speed, high-load shafts.
