Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 53206

The SKF 53206 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates unilateral axial forces for shaft diameters of 30 mm and allows for angularly adjustable designs.

This single-direction rolling bearing, made from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel, accommodates pure axial forces in one direction. The design must not transmit radial forces to the bearing. With a bore of 30 mm, an outside diameter of 52 mm and a mounting height of 17.8 mm, the assembly provides axial support for rotating shafts. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements at operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees.

In which installation situations is the 53206 axial deep-groove ball bearing used?

Designs utilise this bearing type wherever only thrust and compressive forces occur along the shaft axis. This applies in particular to vertical shaft arrangements or devices with a single-sided axial guidance function. Due to the single-sided direction of action, the component supports the shaft axially on one side. If combined loads occur, the bearing arrangement must be combined with a separate radial bearing.

When is the angularly adjustable housing disc of the 532 series advantageous?

Unlike bearings with a flat seating surface, the 532 series features a spherical housing washer. In conjunction with a separately available hollow spherical washer, this geometry compensates for static misalignment or manufacturing-related skew between the shaft and housing. As per the product scope, the bearing is supplied without a shim. For flat housing seats, the appropriate shim must be specified separately if required.
