Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51407

The FAG 51407 axial deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 35 × 80 × 32 mm, accommodates unidirectional axial forces within a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees.

The FAG 51407 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a rolling bearing designed specifically to support pure axial loads in one direction. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6), this thrust bearing – with key dimensions of a 35 mm bore, 80 mm outer diameter and 32 mm width – offers excellent dimensional stability. Design engineers use this component when a shaft needs to be precisely supported in the axial direction. A sturdy sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements between the shaft and housing washers.

What is the FAG 51407 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is suitable for designs in which significant axial forces act from a fixed direction. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to high axial thrust loads and featuring vertical or horizontal shaft alignment. As the 51407 design acts on one side only, it supports the shaft specifically on one side. Please note that axial deep groove ball bearings cannot accommodate significant radial forces. For combined loads, combine this unit with a separate radial bearing on the same shaft.

What is important to bear in mind with the rigid version without angular compensation?

The 51407 axial deep-groove ball bearing is not angularly adjustable and does not include a washer. The contact surfaces on the housing and shaft must therefore be exactly perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Even minor misalignments or shaft deflection can lead to uneven load distribution across the rolling elements. When designing the assembly, ensure that the surrounding structure is rigid. Thanks to its tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1, the component fits precisely into standardised industrial applications.
