Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51124

The FAG 51124 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates unilateral axial forces and has dimensions of 120 x 155 x 25 mm.

The FAG 51124 axial deep-groove ball bearing supports rotating shaft components against purely axial loads. As a rolling bearing made from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel, this component guides shafts in a defined direction of action. The components are fitted separately, as the shaft ring, housing ring and the ball-guided sheet steel cage can be detached from one another. The standard tolerance grade P0/PN or ABEC 1 defines the dimensional accuracy required for industrial applications. The component is designed for an operating temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees.

How does the single-direction axial deep-groove ball bearing 51124 absorb forces?

This axial bearing is designed for loads parallel to the axis of rotation. Typical applications include situations where axial loads must be absorbed in a single direction. As the bearing operates as a single-direction axial bearing, it absorbs axial forces exclusively from one direction. This design must not be used to support radial forces. Design engineers therefore usually combine the assembly with separate radial bearings to achieve a stable shaft support.

What installation requirements does the non-angle-adjustable version have?

As the model is not angle-adjustable, it requires plane-parallel contact surfaces and a precisely perpendicular alignment to the shaft. Without a shim, the bearing cannot compensate for misalignment or deflection of the shaft. You should distribute the mounting forces evenly around the circumference. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements and maintains a constant spacing between the balls. When selecting a lubricant, the permissible temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees must be observed.
