Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51418 -MP

The FAG 51418 -MP axial deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 90 × 190 × 77 mm, accommodates pure axial forces in one direction.

The 51418 -MP axial deep-groove ball bearing is a separable rolling bearing for industrial applications with unilateral axial loading. The design comprises a shaft ring, a housing ring and a guided ball and cage seat. The material used is through-hardened standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), which provides the required dimensional stability under high loads. This FAG product complies with the standard tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1) for common fits in mechanical and plant engineering.

What is the 51418-MP axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This bearing accommodates axial loads only and guides shafts axially in one direction. The thrust bearing must not accommodate radial forces; a separate radial guide must be provided for this purpose. Typical applications include bearing arrangements with high unilateral axial loads. The bearing is not angularly adjustable. The connecting parts must be flat and perpendicular to the shaft axis to prevent localised edge overloads on the raceways.

What is the function of the solid brass cage in bearing 51418 -MP?

The suffix ‘MP’ denotes a solid brass cage. This cage keeps the balls stable in their raceways even under shock loads, vibrations or rapid changes in speed. Compared to simple sheet metal cages, solid brass offers favourable emergency running properties and high mechanical strength. Together with the permissible temperature range of -30 °C to +150 °C, the bearing is designed for thermally and dynamically demanding operating conditions.
