Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 52205

The FAG 52205 double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing supports shafts with a 20 mm bore axially in both directions, with an outer diameter of 47 mm.

The 52205 axial deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings is a separable axial bearing designed for purely longitudinal forces. With a bore of 20 mm, an outside diameter of 47 mm and a height of 28 mm, this design accommodates axial loads from both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, it ensures dimensional stability within a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly in both ball rings.

What is the 52205 double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This double-acting bearing supports rotating shafts subjected to alternating or reciprocal axial thrusts. Via the two ball rings, the bearing guides the shaft axially in both directions within the housing. Typical applications include shaft mountings where pure axial forces from alternating directions occur and no transverse forces act on the axial bearing. This design must not be used to support pure radial loads; therefore, a separate radial bearing must be fitted in such applications.

What is important when installing bearing 52205?

As this model is not angle-adjustable, the mounting shoulders on the shaft and housing must be exactly perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Misalignment will quickly lead to uneven loading of the balls. The scope of supply comprises the axial bearing only, without any additional washers. The standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 applies to the manufacture. Carefully adjust the bearing clearance during assembly to ensure that the unloaded ball row rolls smoothly during operation.
