Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 51316

The SKF 51316 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates unilateral axial loads for shaft diameters of 80 mm within a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees.

The 51316 axial deep groove ball bearing is a separable rolling bearing designed to accommodate purely axial loads in one direction. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), this SKF component guides shafts with a bore diameter of 80 mm axially and supports axial forces against the housing. The design comprises a shaft ring, a housing ring and a guided ball set with a sheet steel cage. As the components are separate, the bearing rings can be fitted independently of one another.

What is the SKF 51316 axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Designs subject to predominantly axial forces use this type for single-sided shaft support. Typical applications are found in general mechanical engineering in bearing arrangements where no radial loads are permitted to act on this bearing. As the component can only be loaded axially, designers often combine this thrust bearing with separate radial bearings. The permissible operating temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees allows for use in demanding thermal environments.

What should be taken into account when installing the non-angle-adjustable bearing?

This bearing is not angularly adjustable and is sensitive to misalignment between the shaft and the housing. It is essential that the contact surfaces of the connecting parts are exactly at right angles to ensure that the rolling elements bear the load evenly. The scope of supply includes the axial deep-groove ball bearing without a shim, which is why flat housing surfaces are required. Manufacture to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 defines precise dimensions for the outer diameter of 140 mm and the overall width of 44 mm.
