Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 54212

The FAG 54212 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing accommodates pure axial forces in both directions and has dimensions of 50 × 95 × 50 mm.

The FAG 54212 axial deep-groove ball bearing, as a double-acting rolling bearing, accommodates exclusively axial loads from both directions. The design guides shafts axially in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, this bearing retains its dimensional stability within a temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees. Due to its design, this type of bearing must not be subjected to radial forces. The bearing is specifically designed for purely axial guidance tasks.

What is the 54212 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

The 54212 axial deep groove ball bearing is used in bearing arrangements where alternating axial thrust forces occur and the shaft must be guided on both sides. It is used in systems where only axial loads act on the assembly. The bearing arrangement requires separate radial guidance of the shaft, as this bearing does not support radial forces. Where necessary, the series compensates for misalignment, provided it is fitted in conjunction with suitable spherical washers.

When does the 54212 axial deep-groove ball bearing require suitable washers?

This bearing is supplied without washers. If the adjacent structure has angular misalignments due to manufacturing, the component can be combined with spherical washers to compensate for misalignment. If the contact surfaces are machined to a precise right angle, the bearing is fitted directly. The main dimensions are a 50 mm bore, a 95 mm outer diameter and a 50 mm overall height. The version with a sheet steel cage and standard tolerance P0 (ABEC 1) is designed for an operating temperature range between -30 and +150 degrees.
