Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 52306

The FAG 52306 double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing supports shafts with a 25 mm bore, 60 mm outer diameter and 38 mm width against axial forces in both directions.

The 52306 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a double-acting rolling bearing from FAG that accommodates axial loads in both directions. Fitted with a sheet steel cage and manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6), the component is suitable for axial guidance applications in mechanical engineering. The bearing has a 25 mm bore, a 60 mm outer diameter and a width of 38 mm. Thanks to its tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1), it fits dimensionally accurately into standardised designs.

In which installation scenarios is the 52306 axial deep-groove ball bearing used?

The 52306 axial deep groove ball bearing is designed for applications where shafts need to be guided axially in both directions and no significant radial forces act on the bearing. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to alternating axial loads. As the component absorbs purely axial forces, designers combine it with separate radial bearings for combined loads. The permissible temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees also allows for use in industrial environments subject to thermal stress.

Why does the 52306 axial deep-groove ball bearing require precise alignment?

This model is not angularly adjustable and is supplied without shims. The contact surfaces in the bearing housing and on the shaft must therefore be exactly perpendicular to the axis of rotation to prevent edge running and uneven loading of the ball rows. For designers, this means that the mating parts must be manufactured with high precision. Furthermore, the double-sided design accommodates axial forces in alternating directions, making the design more compact than using two separate single-sided bearings.
