Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 51407

The SKF 51407 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates single-direction axial forces with a 35 mm bore, an 80 mm outer diameter and a width of 32 mm.

The 51407 axial deep groove ball bearing supports shafts in the axial direction and guides shaft movements with high positioning accuracy. As a single-direction rolling bearing, this SKF design accommodates pure axial loads from a single direction. Due to its separable design, the shaft ring, housing ring and ball-guided sheet steel cage can be fitted separately. This facilitates installation in machinery and equipment. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6), the design is suitable for a wide temperature range.

What loads and operating conditions apply to the 51407 axial deep groove ball bearing?

The bearing absorbs purely axial forces in one direction provided that no significant radial loads act on the bearing mounting. Typical applications include vertical shaft guides, spindle bearings and general mechanical engineering designs. As the bearing is not angularly adjustable, the surrounding structure must be designed to be perpendicular and dimensionally stable. Misalignment or tilting between the shaft and housing cannot be compensated for and will result in uneven loading of the raceways.

What installation conditions does the single-acting design require?

When designing the bearing arrangement, it must be noted that the 51407 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates axial forces from one direction only. If varying load directions occur during operation, single-direction bearings are not sufficient. For combined loads, it is recommended to use a separate radial bearing in combination. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements and allows for an operating temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees. The product complies with the standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 and is supplied without an additional washer.
