Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 51212

The SKF 51212 axial deep groove ball bearing, measuring 60x95x26 mm, accommodates axial loads on one side and features a sheet steel cage.

The SKF 51212 axial deep groove ball bearing is designed for applications in which shafts are supported under axial loads from one direction. With a bore of 60 mm, an outside diameter of 95 mm and a height of 26 mm, this rolling bearing supports axial forces in one direction. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) and guided by a sheet steel cage, the component operates within a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees. For maintenance and original equipment, the design complies with standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

What is the 51212 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is used in general mechanical engineering for bearing arrangements where pure axial forces parallel to the axis of rotation need to be accommodated. As the bearing is designed to act on one side only, it accommodates axial loads in one direction. The assembly cannot accommodate radial loads, which is why the axial bearing is usually combined with suitable radial bearings. Designed for temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees, the design is suitable for the corresponding thermal environments found in industrial plants.

What is important to bear in mind when installing the non-angle-adjustable bearing?

The 51212 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a rigid, non-angle-adjustable design. The housing washer has a flat contact surface, which means the component is sensitive to misalignment. The shaft and housing contact surfaces should therefore be aligned at right angles to the bearing axis to avoid localised edge pressures. The scope of supply comprises only the axial deep-groove ball bearing without shims. Before assembly, note which shaft washer is fitted tightly onto the shaft and which element is guided in the housing with clearance.
