Designation explained
What 51218 means
Standard bearing numbers encode the type, the dimension series and the bore. Anything after the base number — seals, clearance, cage — is a suffix.
| Part | Meaning |
|---|---|
5 | Thrust ball bearing, single direction |
12 | Dimension series 12 (thrust) |
18 | 18 → 90 mm bore (18 × 5) |
Variants
Common 51218 variants
Suffixes change the bearing without changing its boundary dimensions. The exact letters differ between manufacturers — always order by the full designation from the maker you choose.
| Suffix | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
