Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51314

The FAG 51314 axial deep-groove ball bearing, with main dimensions of 70 × 125 × 40 mm, accommodates single-direction axial forces during operation.

The 51314 axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed for pure axial loads in a single direction. The bearing supports shafts on one side and guides them in the axial direction. FAG manufactures this rolling bearing from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) in tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1). A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly in the raceways of the shaft and housing rings. This design is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees.

In which applications is the 51314 axial deep-groove ball bearing used?

It is used in bearing arrangements where only axial loads occur and the shaft must be guided axially. Typical applications are found in general mechanical engineering in purely axial guidance systems without radial forces. Due to its design, this type of bearing cannot accommodate radial forces. As the bearing is not angularly adjustable, the design requires perpendicular and flat contact surfaces on the shaft and housing.

What is important to bear in mind with the single-sided design?

When installing the bearing, the installation direction of the shaft flange and the housing flange must be observed precisely. The shaft flange has a 70 mm bore and rotates with the shaft, whilst the housing flange rests in the housing. This scope of supply comprises the axial deep-groove ball bearing only, without any washers. A minimum axial load or preload prevents the rolling elements from lifting off the raceways during operation.
