FAG 51204 Thrust Ball Bearing 20x40x14 mm

Design and Axial Load Performance

The FAG 51204 thrust ball bearing is a precision-engineered component tailored to handle axial loads in one direction within compact mechanical systems. With dimensions of 20 mm (inner diameter) x 40 mm (outer diameter) x 14 mm (width), this bearing is designed for tight installation envelopes in industrial equipment. Constructed with a dedicated axial load raceway and hardened steel components, it provides reliable performance in up-time critical applications. Its single-direction thrust design ensures that the bearing is optimized for applications where axial load transfer is the primary demand. The compact form factor makes it ideal when space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.

Industrial Applications & Business Advantages

In industrial environments this bearing is well suited for machinery requiring compact axial support, including gearboxes, hydraulic drives, axial bearing units and other systems where high durability and axial load handling capacity are necessary. For B2B buyers and maintenance teams the key benefits include:

• Reduced maintenance cost thanks to robust axial load capacity and simplified installation.

• Standard size supports efficient inventory and quick replacement across multiple machines.

• Supports bearing unit or bearing housing setups where axial loads dominate and radial loads are minimal.

• Trusted brand quality from FAG, providing confidence in long-term performance and service life.

FAQ

Q1: What is a thrust ball bearing designed for?
A1: A thrust ball bearing is specifically designed to support high axial loads in one direction and is optimized for dedicated load paths rather than radial or combined loads.
Q2: Is the size 20x40x14 mm standard enough for industrial replacement parts?
A2: Yes - this dimension is sufficiently standard to enable consistent spare-parts stocking and support across multiple machines.
Q3: Can this bearing take radial loads?
A3: No - this model is designed for axial loads only. For radial or combined loading, a different bearing type is required.
Q4: What advantages does FAG brand offer?
A4: FAG delivers high precision manufacturing, reliable tolerances and long life cycles, which benefits industrial operations with minimal downtime.
Q5: Is it available for bulk procurement and fast delivery?
A5: Yes - designed for B2B supply, with immediate stock availability and quick execution of orders.
