Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 51405

The SKF 51405 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates single-direction axial loads and has dimensions of 25 × 60 × 24 mm for industrial bearing applications.

The SKF 51405 axial deep groove ball bearing is designed to accommodate single-direction axial loads in machine and fixture construction. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6), this axial bearing has a bore of 25 mm, an outside diameter of 60 mm and a height of 24 mm. A guided sheet steel cage maintains the rolling elements at a uniform distance and prevents them from coming into contact with one another. It is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 for standard industrial use.

What is the 51405 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This bearing design absorbs axial forces from a defined direction and provides axial support for rotating shafts. Due to its design, the component must not bear radial loads; therefore, separate radial bearings are required in combined applications. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to purely axial forces in vertical or horizontal shaft guides. Thanks to the thermal properties of the rolling bearing steel, the bearing is suitable for operating temperatures between –30 and +150 degrees Celsius.

What is important to bear in mind when installing the 51405 axial deep-groove ball bearing?

This axial deep-groove ball bearing is not angularly adjustable and does not compensate for misalignments caused by manufacturing or assembly. During assembly, the housing and shaft shoulders must be perpendicular to the axis of rotation to avoid edge stresses. The scope of supply includes the axial deep-groove ball bearing without washers. As the bearing is of open design, protection against contamination and lubrication must be provided by the surrounding housing.
