Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 53206

The FAG 53206 axial deep-groove ball bearing supports shafts with a 30 mm bore under purely axial loads and compensates for misalignment using a shim.

The FAG 53206 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates high axial forces from one direction. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) with a sheet steel cage, this bearing design is rated for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees. With dimensions of a 30 mm bore, 52 mm outer diameter and 17.8 mm height, this rolling bearing provides reliable axial guidance for rotating shafts. It is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

What loads can the 53206 axial deep-groove ball bearing withstand?

Designed as a single-direction bearing, it is intended for purely axial loads. The unit cannot transmit radial forces, which is why the shaft is supported radially by a separate bearing. Common applications include bearing arrangements subject to axial forces acting in one direction, where defined compressive forces must be absorbed. The separable design facilitates installation, as the shaft washer, housing washer and ball-guided cage can be fitted one after the other.

When does the 53206 axial deep-groove ball bearing require a separate shim?

This model features a spherical housing washer and, when used in conjunction with a shim, is angle-adjustable. If manufacturing-related misalignments or skewing occur between the housing seat and the shaft, this combination compensates for the deviations. The scope of supply includes only the axial deep-groove ball bearing without a shim; the appropriate shim must be provided separately to allow for angular adjustment.
