Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 52308

The SKF 52308 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing accommodates axial forces in both directions and has dimensions of 30x78x49 mm.

The SKF 52308 axial deep groove ball bearing guides shafts axially in both directions and supports axial loads acting on both sides accordingly. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6), this bearing withstands mechanical stresses during operation. A dimensionally stable sheet-steel cage guides the rolling elements precisely along their paths. With a bore of 30 mm, an outer diameter of 78 mm and a total width of 49 mm, the design meets standard industrial requirements for separate shaft and housing washers.

What is the 52308 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers primarily select the 52308 axial deep-groove ball bearing for bearing arrangements where alternating or bidirectional thrust forces occur. It is designed for use in arrangements subject to purely axial loads. As this design is intended to withstand purely axial loads, the bearing arrangement requires separate radial guidance of the shaft. The permissible temperature range extends from –30 to +150 degrees, enabling use under appropriate thermal conditions.

What is important to consider with the double-sided design?

Careful alignment is essential when fitting the axial bearing, as this design is not angle-adjustable and is manufactured without shims. The mating surfaces on the shaft and housing must be perpendicular to the axis to prevent uneven load distribution across the balls. The bearing is manufactured to standard tolerance P0 or ABEC 1. For correct operation, the lubrication must be adapted to the operating temperature and rotational speeds.
