Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 51306

The FAG 51306 axial deep-groove ball bearing reliably supports single-direction axial loads and has an outer diameter of 60 mm and a height of 21 mm.

The FAG 51306 axial deep-groove ball bearing reliably supports axial forces in one direction. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel, this axial bearing is characterised by its dimensional stability and load-carrying capacity. The open design consists of separate components such as a shaft ring, a housing ring and a guided ball cage. Thanks to this modular design, maintenance engineers and designers can assemble the individual components one after the other and apply lubricants directly to the contact zones of the rolling elements.

In which applications is the 51306 axial deep-groove ball bearing used?

This axial bearing primarily absorbs axial forces along the shaft axis. Typical applications include vertical mountings, hoists, turntables and gear stages in general mechanical engineering. Important for the design: The bearing must not absorb any significant radial loads. Furthermore, the non-angle-adjustable design requires precisely machined, perpendicular contact surfaces on the shaft and housing to prevent edge running and uneven loads in the ball race.

What are the advantages of the sheet steel cage in the 51306 axial deep groove ball bearing?

The sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly along their raceway and maintains a constant distance between the balls. It withstands temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 °C and is compatible with standard industrial oils and rolling bearing greases. Compared with plastic cages, the sheet steel design retains its mechanical strength even under thermal stress. When installing the bearing, ensure that it always operates under a minimum axial load so that the balls roll in the grooves without slippage.
