Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 52204

The SKF 52204 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing reliably supports shafts with a 15 mm bore under axial loads acting in both directions.

The 52204 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates pure axial forces in both directions and precisely locates the shaft on both sides. With key dimensions of a 15 mm bore diameter, 40 mm outer diameter and 26 mm overall height, this rolling bearing is suitable for compact installations in general machinery and gearbox construction. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) and fitted with a robust sheet steel cage, the design is rated for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees.

What is the 52204 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for in industrial applications?

It is used in shaft guides that require support in both axial directions, particularly where load cycles reverse the direction of the axial thrust forces. As axial deep groove ball bearings, by their very nature, cannot accommodate radial forces, designers usually combine this bearing with a separate radial bearing within the system. Please note that this design is not angularly adjustable.

What are the distinctive features of the double-acting design and tolerance class P0?

The double-acting design is based on a central shaft disc, two housing discs and two separate sets of balls. This enables forces to be transmitted in both axial directions within a single unit. With standard tolerance P0 (corresponding to PN or ABEC 1), the SKF bearing meets common industrial requirements for dimensional and concentricity accuracy. The scope of supply includes the axial deep-groove ball bearing without shims; therefore, the mounting surfaces in the housing must be precisely perpendicular to the shaft axis.
