Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51134 -MP

The FAG 51134 -MP axial deep-groove ball bearing, with a 170 mm bore and a solid brass cage, accommodates unilateral axial forces.

This 51134 -MP axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed as a single-direction rolling bearing for the specific purpose of accommodating axial loads. With dimensions of a 170 mm bore, 215 mm outside diameter and 34 mm height, the bearing guides shafts in an axial direction. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, this version complies with the standard tolerance P0/PN or ABEC 1 and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees.

What is the 51134 -MP axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers primarily select this design for bearing arrangements where high, purely axial forces occur in one direction. Typical applications include vertical shaft bearings and bearing arrangements in general mechanical engineering with an axial load direction. As the component acts purely axially, it cannot accommodate radial forces. To ensure proper operation, users therefore usually combine this rolling bearing with a separate radial bearing within the overall system.

What are the advantages of the solid brass cage (-MP)?

The suffix ‘MP’ indicates that the bearing is fitted with a solid brass cage, which guides the rolling elements stably along the raceways. Compared with pressed sheet steel cages, the solid cage is characterised by high mechanical load-carrying capacity and resistance to vibrations. It should be noted that the 51134 series is not designed to be angle-adjustable. The mounting surfaces on the shaft and the machine housing must be precisely aligned at right angles to one another in order to avoid edge stresses at the raceways.
