FAG 51132-MP

FAG 51132-MP Thrust Ball Bearing with Machined Brass Cage Description The FAG 51132-MP is a high-precision, single-direction thrust ball bearing designed to accommodate heavy axial loads in one direction. Its separable design allows the shaft washer, housing washer, and ball and cage assembly to be mounted independently, simplifying installation and maintenance. The ‘MP’ designation signifies a robust, solid machined brass cage, which offers superior strength and performance, especially in demanding applications with high speeds and temperatures. Specifications Bore Diameter (d): 160 mm Outside Diameter (D): 215 mm Height (H): 42 mm Cage Material: Solid Machined Brass (MP) Bearing Type: Single Direction Thrust Ball Bearing Weight: approx. 4.0 kg Label Info Manufacturer: FAG Part Number: 51132-MP EAN: 4026677254863 Application This bearing is ideally suited for applications requiring high axial stiffness and load-carrying capacity, such as in vertical machine tool spindles, crane hooks, industrial gearboxes, and heavy-duty rotating tables. Country of Origin This product is manufactured in Austria. CO2 Impact By purchasing this pre-owned bearing, you contribute to a circular economy and prevent the emission of approximately 8.0 kg of CO2, which is the equivalent of driving a car for 40 km.

FAQ What does the ‘MP’ suffix signify in the FAG 51132-MP?The ‘MP’ suffix indicates that the bearing is equipped with a solid machined brass cage, guided by the balls. This type of cage is more robust than standard steel or polyamide cages, making it suitable for higher speeds, temperatures, and applications with significant vibration or shock loads. Is this bearing suitable for applications with high radial loads?No, thrust ball bearings like the 51132-MP are designed exclusively for axial (thrust) loads. They cannot accommodate any radial loads. For applications with combined radial and axial loads, a different type of bearing, such as an angular contact ball bearing or a spherical roller thrust bearing, should be considered. What is the recommended lubrication for this brass cage bearing?For most industrial applications, a high-quality grease with an EP (Extreme Pressure) additive is recommended. However, the exact choice of lubricant depends on the operating speed, temperature, and load. Always consult the machine manufacturer’s guidelines or a lubrication expert to select the appropriate grease or oil for your specific application.
