Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 52313

The FAG 52313 double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates axial loads in both directions and has main dimensions of 55 × 115 × 65 mm.

The FAG 52313 axial deep-groove ball bearing is an open rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) in tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. With a bore of 55 mm, an outside diameter of 115 mm and a width of 65 mm, the bearing supports rotating shafts in both axial directions. The balls are guided by a sheet steel cage, which is designed for a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees.

In which applications does the 52313 axial deep-groove ball bearing prove its worth?

This thrust bearing supports alternating axial forces from two directions; however, due to its design, it is not suitable for withstanding radial loads. In mechanical engineering and fixture construction, the bearing is therefore typically combined with separate radial bearings, which fully absorb the radial forces. Typical applications are found in rigid mounting arrangements where precise shaft guidance on both sides is required without radial misalignment of the axial bearing.

What is important to consider when installing without angular adjustability?

Model 52313 is not angle-adjustable and is designed for installation without shims. During design and installation, the shaft and housing shoulders must be exactly perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Even minor misalignments or deflections of the shaft can lead to uneven load distribution across the balls in rigid axial bearings, which may increase wear during continuous operation.
