Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 52212

The SKF 52212 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing (50x95x46 mm) accommodates axial forces in both directions.

The 52212 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a double-acting rolling bearing designed for applications involving purely axial loads. The design comprises a shaft ring with a 50 mm bore, two housing rings with an outer diameter of 95 mm, and two separate ball rings. The sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements across a total width of 46 mm. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, the bearing is suitable for a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees.

What is the 52212 double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is designed to accommodate axial forces acting alternately from both directions on the shaft. As it is designed as a double-acting bearing, it supports the shaft axially on both sides. Typical applications are found in bearing arrangements subject to purely axial loads. By design, this type of bearing cannot accommodate radial forces; therefore, the bearing should always be combined with a separate radial guide.

What should be taken into account when fitting the version without washers?

The 52212 axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed without spherical washers and is not angle-adjustable. The contact surfaces in the housing and on the shaft must be machined exactly at right angles to the axis of rotation. Misalignment or skewing leads to uneven load distribution in the case of rigid washers. This version complies with standard tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1), which enables a defined fit accuracy for shaft and housing assembly in industrial mechanical engineering.
