The FAG 51408 single-direction axial deep groove ball bearing accommodates purely axial forces and guides shafts with precision, with dimensions of 40x90x36 mm.
The 51408 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a separable rolling bearing designed for applications where axial forces are supported in one direction. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) with a guided sheet steel cage, this design complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. The component is designed to guide rotating shafts axially and to limit axial displacement. With an internal diameter of 40 mm, an external diameter of 90 mm and a height of 36 mm, this component is suitable both for series production requirements in mechanical engineering and for repair work.
This rolling bearing is suitable for supporting purely axial loads from a single direction in vertical or horizontal shaft arrangements. As it is designed to act on one side only, it does not support any radial loads. Typical applications are found in general fixture and machinery manufacturing at bearing locations where defined compressive forces occur in the axial direction. The bearing withstands operating temperatures from –30 to +150 degrees and retains its functionality even during thermally demanding operating cycles.
The bearing is not angularly adjustable and is fitted without an additional shim. Therefore, the mating surfaces on the housing and shaft must be machined exactly at right angles to the axis of rotation. Misalignment or skewing in this design leads to uneven load distribution across the rolling elements, which accelerates wear. Before installation, the mating surfaces of the 40 mm shaft and the 90 mm housing seat must be checked. The modular design, comprising a shaft washer, housing washer and ball set in a sheet steel cage, facilitates step-by-step assembly.
As a single-direction axial bearing, it absorbs thrust forces along the shaft axis in one direction. With key dimensions of a 40 mm bore, 90 mm outer diameter and 36 mm height, it provides stable support for shafts. It consists of two flat raceways and a guided sheet steel cage containing balls.
The design is intended exclusively for axial loads in a single direction. This roller bearing cannot transmit radial forces. If combined forces occur in an application, it is recommended to use a separate radial bearing to accommodate the radial forces.
Operating temperatures between -30 and +150 degrees are permissible. The standard 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel used, as well as the sheet steel cage, retain their dimensional stability within this range. Before operation, it is advisable to check whether the lubricant used is also suitable for these temperature limits.
No, this version is not angle-adjustable. The flat housing disc rests directly against the housing, as no shim is included in the scope of delivery. Mounting surfaces on the housing shoulder and shaft must therefore be aligned exactly at right angles to the axis of rotation to prevent localised edge overloads.
P0, or ABEC 1, denotes the standardised tolerance class for dimensional and running accuracy in rolling bearings. It meets the standard precision requirements of general mechanical engineering. Components in this accuracy class feature standardised dimensions for a precise fit on shafts with a diameter of 40 mm.
