Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51411

The FAG 51411 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates pure axial forces in one direction and, with dimensions of 55x120x48 mm, provides robust guidance.

The 51411 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a single-acting rolling bearing designed specifically to accommodate axial loads. It supports rotating shafts in one axial direction and is used to absorb axial displacement. The manufacturer, FAG, produces this bearing from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), combined with a sheet steel cage. The separate discs allow for the separate assembly of the shaft disc, housing disc and rolling element set.

What is the 51411 axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This design is used where shaft guides need to transmit axial forces exclusively. Typical applications are found in general mechanical engineering for shaft guides with a defined axial load direction. As the design acts on one side only, it provides targeted support for components on one side. Due to its design, the bearing cannot accommodate purely radial forces; therefore, designs require a combination with suitable radial bearings.

What is important when installing the 51411 type?

The 51411 axial deep-groove ball bearing is not angularly adjustable and is designed without a washer. Flat, parallel contact surfaces on connecting parts and the housing are therefore required to prevent uneven edge pressures on the rolling elements. Thanks to its manufacture to standard tolerances (P0/PN or ABEC 1), the component fits precisely into standardised housing seats. The permissible temperature range extends from –30 to +150 degrees, tailored to common lubrication concepts in continuous industrial use.
