Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 52216

The SKF 52216 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing, measuring 65x115x48 mm, accommodates axial forces in both directions.

The SKF 52216 axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed for industrial applications where shafts need to be axially fixed in both directions. This rolling bearing must not be used to support radial forces, as the entire design is intended solely for axial thrust. It is manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. The component is used without washers and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees Celsius.

What is the 52216 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is used for the precise guidance of rotating shafts subjected to alternating or bidirectional thrust forces. Typical applications include bearing arrangements with bidirectional axial loading in general mechanical engineering. As the component absorbs axial loads in both directions, a single bearing unit provides longitudinal support on both sides. It is important that the connecting parts have a rigid, right-angled design so that the balls roll evenly in the grooves of the discs.

What characterises the double-acting design of this bearing?

The double-acting design fundamentally distinguishes this version from single-acting bearings. The assembly consists of two ball rings, a central shaft disc and two outer housing discs. When designing, please note that this bearing is not angularly adjustable. Misalignment or deflection of the shaft cannot be compensated for and will result in localised load peaks. A guided sheet steel cage keeps the rolling elements at a consistent distance from one another and contributes to smooth running at operating temperatures of up to 150 degrees.
