Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 52213

The FAG 52213 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing supports shafts axially in both directions and has dimensions of 55 × 100 × 47 mm.

The 52213 axial deep-groove ball bearing provides designers and maintenance engineers with a double-acting axial bearing for industrial applications. This FAG rolling bearing is made from standard rolling bearing steel (100Cr6) and features a sheet steel cage. With an inside diameter of 55 mm, an outside diameter of 100 mm and a width of 47 mm, the assembly accommodates pure axial loads from both directions. This product is supplied without washers and complies with tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1.

In which applications does the 52213 axial deep groove ball bearing accommodate axial forces from both directions?

The 52213 axial deep groove ball bearing is designed exclusively to accommodate axial forces acting alternately or continuously from both axial directions. It guides the mounted shaft in the axial position on both sides. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to alternating axial thrust forces. No radial load must act on the bearing; therefore, designs must incorporate a separate radial guide. With a permissible temperature range of –30 to +150 °C, the bearing is designed for thermally demanding operating conditions.

What installation requirements arise from the lack of angular adjustability in the 52213?

As this design is not angularly adjustable, the bearing is sensitive to misalignment or skewing of the shaft. Planar, parallel contact surfaces in the housing and on the shaft help to prevent edge stresses on the rolling elements. Before assembly, the mounting dimensions and the perpendicularity of the shoulders must be checked. As the product scope does not include shims, the bearing rests directly against the machined mating surfaces. The sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements at normal operating temperature.
