Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51106

The FAG 51106 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates pure axial forces in one direction and has compact dimensions of 30 × 47 × 11 mm.

The FAG 51106 axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed as a single-direction rolling bearing for withstanding high axial loads. With an inside diameter of 30 mm, an outside diameter of 47 mm and a height of 11 mm, this component supports shafts in one axial direction. Manufactured from 100Cr6 rolling-bearing steel and fitted with a sheet steel cage, the bearing is suitable for operation in a temperature range from –30 to +150 degrees Celsius.

What is the 51106 axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Designs subject to purely axial loads constitute the primary field of application for the 51106 axial deep groove ball bearing. Typical applications are found in general mechanical engineering in shaft mountings where components must absorb purely axial compressive forces. The component supports the shaft on one side and absorbs axial forces from a single direction. This axial bearing must not absorb radial loads; separate radial bearings must be fitted on the shaft for this purpose.

What is important to bear in mind when installing this non-angle-adjustable bearing?

The 51106 series is not angularly adjustable and is sensitive to misalignment between the shaft and the housing. Precisely perpendicular contact surfaces on the shaft and housing shoulders are essential to prevent edge stresses and premature wear. The bearing complies with tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1) and consists of a shaft ring, a housing ring and the ball-cage assembly without shims. Thanks to the separable components, each bearing ring can be fitted individually and with a precise fit.
