Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 52211

The FAG 52211 double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 45x90x45 mm, accommodates pure axial forces in both directions.

The 52211 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a double-acting rolling bearing designed for applications where axial forces occur in both directions. FAG manufactures this model from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), combined with a robust sheet steel cage. With a bore of 45 mm, an outside diameter of 90 mm and a width of 45 mm, this version complies with tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1. The bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 °C.

When is the double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing 52211 used?

This rolling bearing is recommended whenever rotating shafts need to absorb pure axial loads in both directions. Thanks to its design, it supports the shaft axially in both directions. Due to its design, the component must not bear radial loads. The bearing is typically used in shaft mountings and drives where axial counterforces need to be supported in a controlled manner. Rigid shaft shoulders and housing stops ensure the smooth running of the rolling elements.

What is important to bear in mind when fitting the 52211 axial deep groove ball bearing?

As this design is not angularly adjustable and is supplied without spherical shims, the bearing is sensitive to misalignment. Ensure that the contact surfaces on the shaft and housing are exactly at right angles. Misalignment quickly leads to uneven load distribution and increased wear. With tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1), the bearing integrates into standardised machine mountings. Furthermore, the open design requires an external lubricant supply as well as protection against dirt and moisture inside the housing.
