Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51244 -MP

The 51244 -MP axial deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 220 × 300 × 63 mm, reliably withstands unidirectional axial forces whilst maintaining high mechanical stability.

The FAG 51244 -MP axial deep groove ball bearing is a separable rolling bearing designed to accommodate high axial forces from a single direction. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), this thrust bearing is designed for shafts with a diameter of 220 mm. The open design consists of a shaft ring, a housing ring and the ball and cage seat positioned between them. As it accommodates purely axial loads, mechanical engineers typically combine this bearing with separate radial bearings in mechanical engineering applications.

What is the 51244-MP axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This single-acting axial bearing is suitable for designs in which large axial forces must be transmitted parallel to the shaft. Typical applications include general mechanical engineering and gearbox designs with purely axial bearing loads. The bearing must not absorb radial forces, which is why the shaft must be guided by separate radial bearings. Furthermore, the component supports the shaft in one direction only. If alternating axial forces occur, a double-acting bearing or a mirror-image arrangement is required.

What are the distinctive features of the -MP cage design?

The suffix -MP denotes a solid brass cage that precisely guides the rolling elements and maintains thermal stability. This solid construction is designed for applications involving increased mechanical stresses and vibrations. The bearing covers an operating temperature range from –30 to +150 degrees. As this design is not angularly adjustable and is supplied without a spherical washer, the mounting surfaces on the housing and the shaft must be machined exactly at right angles to the axis of rotation.
