Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 51100

The SKF 51100 axial deep groove ball bearing (10x24x9 mm) accommodates unidirectional axial loads and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 °C.

The SKF 51100 axial deep groove ball bearing accommodates pure axial loads in one direction and provides axial support for rotating shafts. With compact key dimensions of a 10 mm bore, 24 mm outside diameter and 9 mm width, the bearing fits into space-constrained designs. Components made from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6) and a guided sheet-steel cage ensure dimensional stability at operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 °C. The component complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 and can be integrated into precision mechanical assemblies as an axial-locking element.

What applications is the 51100 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

The single-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing 51100 transmits pure axial forces in one direction on axially guided shafts. As the design does not allow it to accommodate radial forces, it is always fitted in combination with separate radial bearings. Designs subject to pure thrust loads make specific use of this type to accommodate axial preloads and operating forces. The flat design of the housing flange requires perpendicular machined contact surfaces on the shaft and housing to prevent edge pressure.

What is important when installing the 51100 axial deep groove ball bearing?

As the 51100 axial deep groove ball bearing is not angularly adjustable, the mating surfaces on the housing and shaft must be aligned exactly at right angles to the axis of rotation. Even slight misalignments place uneven loads on the balls and raceways. As the product scope does not include compensating shims, the component requires flat contact surfaces within the housing. When selecting a lubricant, the temperature range of –30 to +150 °C and the unidirectional load on the shaft disc must be taken into account.
