Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51307

The FAG 51307 single-direction axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates purely axial forces and has main dimensions of 35 × 68 × 24 mm.

The FAG 51307 axial deep-groove ball bearing guides rotating shafts in the axial direction and specifically supports axial loads on one side. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6) with a sheet steel cage, this rolling bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees. The design complies with standard tolerances in accordance with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. This type of rolling bearing operates exclusively under axial loads and must not be subjected to radial forces.

In which installation scenarios is the 51307 axial deep-groove ball bearing used?

Mechanical engineering designs require a clear separation of force directions when longitudinal forces are present. The 51307 axial deep groove ball bearing is suitable for bearing arrangements where axial loads must be supported in one direction, whilst a separate radial bearing guides the shaft. It is primarily used in systems operating at moderate speeds. As the bearing is not angularly adjustable, the mounting surfaces must be perpendicular to the shaft axis and flat.

What requirements does the 51307 axial deep-groove ball bearing place on mounting surfaces?

Careful alignment is essential when fitting the 51307 axial deep groove ball bearing. As this series does not compensate for angular misalignment, misalignment or skewing of the mounting surfaces will result in uneven load distribution across the rolling elements. A flat and dimensionally stable housing and shaft shoulder protect the raceways from edge loading. Furthermore, the bearing is supplied as a single-acting unit without an additional shim, which is why flat, parallel mounting surfaces directly on the housing are required.
