Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 53216

The FAG 53216 axial deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 80 × 115 × 29.5 mm, accommodates axial loads on one side in mechanical engineering applications.

The 53216 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a separable rolling bearing designed to accommodate axial forces acting in one direction. With an inside diameter of 80 mm, an outside diameter of 115 mm and a height of 29.5 mm, this design is suitable for axial shaft guides. FAG manufactures the bearing components from 100Cr6 bearing steel to tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1). A guided sheet steel cage maintains the rolling elements at a uniform spacing and allows operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees.

When is the 53216 axial deep-groove ball bearing used?

This rolling bearing guides shafts axially on one side and supports purely axial forces. The design is not intended to accommodate radial loads, which is why users combine the bearing with radial guide bearings. It is typically used in assemblies with thrust forces acting from one side along the axis of rotation. The open design allows the lubricant to be applied directly to the raceways, making it suitable for grease- or oil-lubricated industrial applications.

How does the angular adjustability work on the 53216 axial deep-groove ball bearing?

The housing washer of the 532 series has a spherical contact surface. In combination with a separately available hollow spherical washer, this geometry compensates for misalignment or manufacturing-related skew between the shaft and housing. The scope of supply includes the single-direction bearing without a shim. With rigid, flat-machined connections, the bearing can be fitted directly, whilst in the event of misalignment, the appropriate shim should be fitted.
