Axial Angular Contact B. FAG 234410 -M-SP

The double-acting axial angular contact ball bearing 234410 -M-SP, measuring 50x80x38 mm, accurately accommodates high axial forces in both directions.

The 234410 -M-SP axial angular contact ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager is an open precision bearing made from standard rolling-element steel (100Cr6). Fitted with a brass cage and a nominal contact angle of 60 degrees, this unit is designed to accommodate high axial loads from both directions. Thanks to its design with mounting holes, the bearing can be integrated directly into the surrounding structure. Users in industrial maintenance and mechanical engineering rely on this component when shafts need to be mounted with axial rigidity.

What is the 234410 -M-SP axial angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

This bearing is primarily suitable for machine tools and spindle assemblies where precise axial guidance of the shaft is required. As it acts on both sides, it accommodates axial thrust forces in alternating directions. The steep contact angle of 60 degrees ensures that axial loads are transferred directly via the rolling elements. Design engineers and maintenance technicians frequently use this bearing in combination with radial bearings to mechanically separate axial and radial guidance.

What is the function of the 60-degree contact angle and the SP tolerance?

The SP tolerance class denotes particularly tight manufacturing tolerances for dimensional and concentricity accuracy, which helps to minimise vibrations during operation. The 60-degree contact angle gives the rolling bearing very high axial stiffness under load. As this is an open bearing without an integrated seal, the assembly must be sealed externally to prevent the ingress of contaminants. The brass cage guides the rolling elements stably within the permissible temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees.
