Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51132 -MP

The 51132 -MP axial deep groove ball bearing accommodates unilateral axial forces with dimensions of 160 × 200 × 31 mm, featuring a dimensionally stable solid brass cage.

The 51132 -MP axial deep-groove ball bearing from FAG supports rotating shafts against unidirectional axial loads. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, this bearing accommodates axial forces. With key dimensions of a 160 mm bore, 200 mm outside diameter and 31 mm height, the assembly is suitable for shaft guidance in general mechanical engineering. When you purchase this bearing, you will receive a ready-to-fit axial bearing without a washer, in the standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

What is the 51132-MP axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This single-acting bearing transmits thrust forces exclusively in one direction along the axis. The design must not accommodate radial forces. Typical applications include vertical shaft guides and bearing arrangements subject to predominantly axial loads. As the bearing is not angularly adjustable, installation requires precisely perpendicular mounting surfaces on the shaft and housing. This design does not compensate for misalignment or shaft deflection; therefore, the connecting structure must be rigid.

What are the advantages of the solid brass cage in the -MP version?

The suffix ‘-MP’ denotes a guided solid brass cage. Compared with standard sheet metal cages, the solid brass cage is characterised by high mechanical strength. The material withstands vibrations and shock loads and allows for use in a temperature range from –30 to +150 degrees Celsius. For demanding industrial applications, the cage ensures smooth guidance of the rolling elements on the flat raceways. When lubricating, always take into account the thermal limits of the selected lubricant.
