Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 52311

The FAG 52311 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 45 × 105 × 64 mm, accommodates axial loads in both directions.

The 52311 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a double-acting rolling bearing designed for guiding shafts on both sides. With a bore of 45 mm, an outside diameter of 105 mm and a width of 64 mm, the bearing is suitable for assemblies in general mechanical engineering. The version made from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) with a robust sheet steel cage is designed for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees. It is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

What is the 52311 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Axial bearings of this design are used when pure axial forces occur alternately from two directions. The component guides the shaft axially in both directions but must not be used to support radial forces. Typical applications include shaft mountings subject to alternating axial loads. As the bearing is not angularly adjustable and does not include shims, the mounting surfaces on the housing and the shaft must be aligned exactly at right angles to the axis of rotation.

What are the special features of the double-acting design with a sheet steel cage?

The construction comprises a shaft ring, two housing rings and two ball rings, which are guided by a dimensionally stable sheet steel cage. This design reliably maintains the spacing between the rolling elements and is suitable for operating temperatures up to +150 degrees. As rigid axial bearings do not compensate for misalignment, care must be taken to ensure a rigid bearing environment. For maintenance and design purposes, the standard tolerance version (P0/PN or ABEC 1) offers straightforward integration into standardised industrial applications.
