Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 51104

The SKF 51104 single-direction axial deep groove ball bearing accommodates pure axial forces in one direction and has dimensions of 20x35x10 mm.

The 51104 axial deep groove ball bearing accommodates axial forces in one direction and provides axial support for the shaft. This SKF model is made from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6) and features a sheet steel cage. With a bore diameter of 20 mm, an outside diameter of 35 mm and a width of 10 mm, the rolling bearing complies with tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1). As it supports axial loads only, no radial load must act on the bearing. The scope of supply includes the bearing without a washer.

What is the 51104 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This single-direction axial bearing is designed to specifically absorb forces parallel to the shaft. It guides rotating shafts in exactly one axial direction against a housing. Typical applications can be found in mechanical engineering wherever vertical shaft loads or single-sided axial forces occur. As this component is not designed to transmit radial forces, designers usually combine it in practice with a separate radial bearing.

What should be taken into account when fitting the 51104 series without angular adjustment?

The 51104 axial deep-groove ball bearing is not angle-adjustable. The contact surfaces on the shaft and housing must therefore be perpendicular to the shaft axis to avoid uneven edge stresses. Manufactured from 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel and fitted with a sheet steel cage, the component is suitable for a temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees Celsius. During installation, the housing washer rests directly against a flat housing wall, as no shim is supplied.
