Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 52309

The SKF 52309 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing, measuring 35x85x52 mm, accommodates axial forces in both directions.

The SKF 52309 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a separable rolling bearing designed to accommodate purely axial forces. The design comprises a shaft ring, two housing rings and two sets of balls with a guided sheet steel cage. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), this version complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. The bearing provides axial support for shafts and guides them along the axis of rotation.

What is the 52309 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is suitable for designs in which axial forces occur alternately in both directions. Typical applications are found in general mechanical engineering in bearing arrangements subject to axial loads on both sides. As the bearing acts on both sides, it guides rotating shafts in both axial directions. Due to its design, the component must not absorb radial loads; therefore, users must always counteract radial forces using separate radial bearings.

What should be taken into account when fitting the double-acting design?

During installation, care must be taken to ensure that the contact surface is perfectly perpendicular to the shaft axis, as this design is not angle-adjustable. Misalignment leads to uneven load distribution across the rolling elements. The scope of supply includes the axial deep-groove ball bearing without shims. The components comprising the shaft flange, cages and housing flanges can be fitted separately. When lubricating and sealing, the operating conditions and the permissible temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees must be taken into account.
