Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51410

The FAG 51410 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates unilateral axial forces and has the main dimensions 50 × 110 × 43 mm.

The 51410 axial deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings is designed as a single-direction bearing for purely axial loads. With a bore of 50 mm, an outside diameter of 110 mm and a height of 43 mm, this thrust bearing supports shafts in one direction of force. Manufactured from 100Cr6 rolling-bearing steel and fitted with a sheet steel cage, the component is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees. The design complies with standard tolerance P0/PN (ABEC 1).

In which applications is the 51410 axial deep groove ball bearing used?

The 51410 axial deep groove ball bearing is used in bearing arrangements to absorb axial forces in a defined direction. As single-sided rolling bearings cannot accommodate radial forces, designers often combine this axial bearing with separate radial bearings on the same shaft. Typical applications include vertical shaft guides or designs subject to purely axial loads. With a temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees, the bearing is suitable for industrial environments with corresponding thermal requirements.

What is important to consider with the single-direction design?

During design and assembly, the 51410 axial deep-groove ball bearing requires flat, perpendicular contact surfaces on the shaft and housing. As this version is not angle-adjustable and is supplied without a shim, misalignment will result in uneven loading of the raceways. Attention must also be paid to the installation direction of the shaft washer with a 50 mm bore and the housing washer with an 110 mm outer diameter. During operation, a sufficient minimum axial load is required.
