Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 52216

The FAG 52216 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing accommodates pure axial forces in both directions and supports shafts with a diameter of 65 mm axially.

As a double-acting rolling bearing, the 52216 axial deep-groove ball bearing supports axial forces in both directions. With a bore of 65 mm, an outside diameter of 115 mm and a width of 48 mm, this thrust bearing supports rotating components in the axial direction. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6 and fitted with a sheet steel cage, the FAG design covers a temperature range from –30 to +150 degrees. Due to its design, it accommodates axial loads only.

What is the function of the double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing 52216?

This axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed to accommodate purely axial forces with varying load directions in mechanical and plant engineering. As the bearing acts on both sides, it reliably guides the shaft against axial displacement in both directions. The tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 defines the precise dimensional accuracy of the components. This thrust bearing must not absorb radial loads, which is why it must be combined with separate radial bearings.

What are the specifications regarding angular adjustability and housing contact for bearing 52216?

This model is not angularly adjustable and does not compensate for misalignment between the shaft and the housing. As the design is supplied without spherical washers, the mating parts must be machined at right angles to the axis of rotation. Misalignment errors lead to uneven stresses on the ball sets. Clean, flat surfaces are required during assembly, and the lubricant must be suitable for the operating temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees.
