Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51312

The FAG 51312 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates axial forces in one direction and measures 60 × 110 × 35 mm.

The FAG 51312 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a single-acting rolling bearing designed to accommodate purely axial forces. The component guides shafts in a defined direction and directly supports axial loads. With a bore of 60 mm, an outside diameter of 110 mm and a height of 35 mm, this roller bearing, made from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), provides a stable foundation for industrial applications. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly between the ground raceways of the shaft and housing rings.

What is the 51312 single-direction axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is used wherever axial forces need to be absorbed specifically in one direction. Typical applications include vertical shaft mountings and arrangements in which pure thrust forces act axially. As the bearing is not angularly adjustable, the design requires the mounting surfaces to be aligned at right angles to the axis of rotation. This bearing design is not intended for radial loads. Under purely axial loading, the temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees Celsius is designed to withstand demanding thermal environmental conditions.

What is important to bear in mind when installing the 51312 axial deep groove ball bearing?

When fitting this bearing without a washer, care must be taken to ensure the correct alignment of the two raceways. The shaft race has a tighter bore of 60 mm to ensure a tight fit on the shaft, whilst the housing race has a slightly larger internal diameter. The bearing complies with tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1) and requires flat, rigid contact surfaces to prevent edge loading on the rolling elements. As no seals are integrated, users must select a lubricant and external sealing solution appropriate to the environmental conditions.
