Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 53213

The SKF 53213 single-direction axial deep groove ball bearing accommodates purely axial loads and has compact main dimensions of 65 x 100 x 28.7 mm.

The 53213 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a separable rolling bearing designed to accommodate axial forces from a single direction. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel, the components possess the necessary dimensional stability for industrial applications. A guided sheet steel cage maintains the rolling elements at a uniform distance. With a shaft diameter of 65 mm and an outside diameter of 100 mm, this design is suitable for assemblies in which no radial forces act on the axial bearing.

What is the 53213 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for in mechanical engineering?

This bearing is used for the axial guidance of shafts on which thrust forces act exclusively in one direction. Typical applications include vertical or horizontal shaft mountings subject to thrust loads on one side only. As the rolling elements are designed exclusively for axial loads, no radial load must be applied. Design engineers therefore usually combine this thrust bearing with separate radial bearings on the same shaft.

When is it advisable to use a washer in combination with this bearing?

The spherical housing washer of type 53213 enables the compensation of static misalignment errors as soon as you fit the bearing with a suitable washer. This washer is not included with the bearing and must be supplied separately. Without such a washer, the bearing offers no angular adjustability. Furthermore, the bearing complies with tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1) and is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees.
