Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51207

The FAG 51207 axial deep-groove ball bearing reliably withstands axial forces in one direction, with main dimensions of 35 × 62 × 18 mm.

This single-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing 51207 from FAG supports axial loads in a specified direction. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), this separable assembly consists of a shaft ring, a housing ring and the guided ball set. Due to its design, this construction cannot accommodate radial forces. The scope of supply includes the axial deep-groove ball bearing without additional shims for flat mounting surfaces.

What loads does the 51207 axial deep groove ball bearing accommodate?

The bearing is designed to accommodate purely one-sided axial forces in machines and units. As this version is not angle-adjustable, trouble-free operation requires contact surfaces that are aligned exactly at right angles to the shaft axis. Misalignment or tilting between the shaft and housing leads to uneven load distribution and places stress on the raceways of the bearing rings. Additional radial bearings must be provided in the bearing arrangement to accommodate any radial forces that may occur.

What is important when installing the 51207 axial deep-groove ball bearing?

During assembly, care must be taken to ensure the two rings are fitted in the correct orientation. The shaft ring has the smaller bore of 35 mm and rotates with the shaft, whilst the housing ring, with an outer diameter of 62 mm, sits firmly against the housing. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the balls evenly within a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees. The bearing complies with tolerance classes P0/PN or ABEC 1 for standard fits.
