Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51324 -MP

The 51324 -MP single-direction axial deep-groove ball bearing, with a solid brass cage, accurately accommodates high axial forces with main dimensions of 120 × 210 × 70 mm.

The 51324 -MP axial deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager guides shafts under purely axial force transmission in one direction. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6) with a 120 mm bore, 210 mm outer diameter and 70 mm height, this unit is designed for the precise positioning of rotating shafts. Manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, it facilitates standardised installation in mechanical and plant engineering. The design is intended for flush housing connections without a shim.

What loads can the 51324-MP axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodate?

This rolling bearing supports purely axial loads and supports shafts on one side. The bearing must not carry radial forces; therefore, designs must incorporate separate radial support. Typical applications include vertical shaft arrangements or designs subject to predominant thrust loads in one direction. As this design is not angularly adjustable, installation requires plane-parallel, right-angled contact surfaces on the housing and shaft to prevent localised edge pressures.

What are the distinctive features of the solid brass cage in this design?

The solid brass cage, identified by the suffix -MP, guides the rolling elements with dimensional stability even under acceleration and vibration. Compared to simple sheet metal cages, solid brass effectively dampens mechanical shocks and exhibits favourable sliding properties. In combination with the standard rolling bearing steel 100Cr6, the bearing is designed for a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees. Suitable lubricants help to ensure that the lubricating film is maintained within this temperature range.
