Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 52206

The FAG 52206 double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates pure axial forces in both directions and has dimensions of 25x52x29 mm.

The 52206 axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed as a double-acting rolling bearing to accommodate axial forces from alternating directions. Fitted with a sheet steel cage and manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), the design guides a shaft axially in both directions. With a bore of 25 mm, an outer diameter of 52 mm and a width of 29 mm, this version is suitable for assemblies in which radial loads are supported separately.

What loads does the double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing 52206 support?

This rolling bearing is used wherever pure axial loads need to be supported in two directions. Typical applications include bearing arrangements in mechanical engineering where axial thrust forces occur. As the bearing is not angularly adjustable, installation requires precisely right-angled connecting parts with no misalignment. This design cannot accommodate radial forces, which is why designers provide separate radial bearings for radial loads.

What should be taken into account when fitting the double-acting design?

With the 52206 axial deep-groove ball bearing, it should be noted that the scope of supply comprises the bearing itself without washers. Precise alignment of the shaft and housing washers is required to avoid edge stresses. The bearing is manufactured to the standard tolerance P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1) and is suitable for a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees. Designs should also provide for a minimum axial load to ensure that the rolling elements roll without slippage.
