Notes
- 51100-series single-direction thrust ball bearings: two flat washers with a ball-and-cage set between them; they take axial load one way only. The shaft washer (tight bore d) turns with the shaft, the housing washer (looser bore, listed) stays still and sits against a shoulder. 51100 = 10 mm bore, 51101 = 12, 51102 = 15, 51103 = 17, then bore = last two digits × 5 (51105 = 25 mm) from 51104. They are used under lead screws, vertical axes and swivel bearings.
- Numbers: Emerson Bearing's 51100-series table for d, D and T; Auburn Bearing agrees on every row except 51102, where Auburn prints 32 × 12, which is the 51202 size; it is not used. Nachi's catalogue agrees from 51100 to 51110. McMaster-Carr's open thrust ball bearings give 50 × 70 × 14 (51110) and 100 × 135 × 25 (51120), equal to the table. The housing-washer bore (the NSK-based table on TFL Bearing, Nachi and SKDIN's 51101 page agree) is given for 51100 to 51110; for the larger sizes no source was read. The shaft washer OD equals D (SKDIN 51101: 26). Chamfer r min: 0.3 for 51100 to 51104, 0.6 for 51105 to 51110 (Nachi / TFL).
- Files: 11 envelopes (51100 to 51110): a single ring bore d, OD D, height T. The washers' individual thicknesses, the ball and cage are not published in these tables, so the envelope is one plain ring and is labelled so.
- Left out: the 51200 / 51300 / 51400 series (different heights), double-direction 52xxx, aligning washers (53xxx), load ratings, speed limits, 51132 and larger.
