Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51176 -MP

The FAG 51176 -MP single-direction axial deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 380 × 460 × 65 mm, withstands high axial loads.

The FAG 51176 -MP axial deep-groove ball bearing supports high axial forces in heavy machinery. Fitted with a solid brass cage (-MP) and manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), the bearing supports heavy shafts in the axial direction. With a bore of 380 mm, an outside diameter of 460 mm and a height of 65 mm, this version complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. Due to its design, this rolling bearing cannot accommodate radial loads, which is why a separate radial bearing is required.

What is the 51176 -MP axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This single-acting axial bearing supports vertically or horizontally mounted shafts provided that the force transmission is purely axial from a defined direction. Typical applications are found in heavy-duty industrial plant with large shaft diameters and high axial loads. As the component is not angle-adjustable, installation requires carefully machined and aligned mounting surfaces. A flat housing structure prevents uneven edge pressures and contributes to a uniform load distribution across the rolling elements.

What are the characteristics of the solid brass cage in the 51176 -MP?

The suffix -MP denotes a solid brass cage that guides the balls securely along their circular path. Brass is characterised by high strength under vibration or impact loads. The rolling bearing is designed for an operating temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees Celsius. The scope of supply includes the single-acting axial bearing without shims; therefore, installation requires parallel contact surfaces on the housing and shaft.
