Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51102

The FAG 51102 axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed to accommodate purely axial forces and has an outer diameter of 28 mm and a width of 9 mm.

With the 51102 axial deep-groove ball bearing, you are provided with an axial bearing from FAG made from standard rolling-element bearing steel. This design supports shafts in the axial direction and specifically separates guidance functions from radial components. Thanks to its modular design, the housing flange, shaft flange and the ball cage can be fitted separately. This facilitates maintenance and installation work within housings.

What is the 51102 axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is designed for applications in which single-sided thrust or compressive forces act parallel to the shaft. It is suitable for assemblies that accommodate purely axial loads and do not transmit any radial forces to this bearing. Pure axial deep-groove ball bearings do not support radial forces. They are suitable for moderate speeds and always require a flat, perpendicular mounting surface, as the design does not automatically compensate for misalignment between the shaft and the housing.

What are the advantages of the design with a sheet steel cage?

The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements at a uniform distance within the raceways and keeps the bearing weight low. Compared to solid cages, it saves installation space and enables a wide operating range. The bearing is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 °C. It is therefore suitable for industrial environments with varying thermal conditions, provided that the choice of lubricant and contact pressure are matched to the respective operating temperature.
