For equipment where axial forces dominate, the FAG MP series thrust ball bearing provides a dependable solution. This series covers single-direction thrust ball bearings identified by a five-digit size code plus the MP suffix. MR Industrial Accessories supplies these bearings to maintenance and purchasing teams throughout the United States and Latin America.

The part number structure is straightforward: a five-digit number indicates size and load capacity, followed by MP. Examples include 51130-MP, 51132-MP and 51134-MP. The MP suffix denotes a machined brass cage, a feature intended for demanding operating conditions. Reading the code this way helps you confirm the size and key characteristic before ordering.

These bearings are found in gearboxes, pumps, compressors, machine tools and lifting equipment, where axial loads are the primary concern. They support unidirectional loads, making them suitable for assemblies that call for precision and axial rigidity.

Selection should account for the axial load, rotational speed and the operating environment. Check that the rings are properly aligned and that lubrication, whether grease or oil, is adequate. Use the correct tools during mounting to prevent damage to the raceways. The machined brass cage contributes strength and heat dissipation.

Other brands may offer bearings with similar designations, but dimensions and tolerances can differ. Interchangeability is not always direct, so it is wise to verify the details with a specialist. MR Industrial Accessories can help you compare options and choose the right bearing for your application.
