Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 53202

The 53202 axial deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager (15x32x13.3 mm) accommodates axial loads on one side and, when fitted with a washer, allows for angular misalignment.

The 53202 axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed as a single-acting rolling bearing that guides and supports shafts axially in one direction. As it is manufactured from standard rolling bearing steel (100Cr6) and is available in standard tolerance (tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1), the component is suitable for standard mechanical engineering applications. The rolling elements are guided by a lightweight sheet steel cage, which ensures stable ball movement.

What is the 53202 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This bearing is specifically designed to absorb axial forces acting parallel to the axis. Typical applications include bearing arrangements in which a shaft needs to be secured against thrust on one side. Due to its design, this type of bearing must not absorb radial forces. If a radial force occurs in addition to the axial load, designers usually combine the component with a separate radial bearing on the same shaft.

When is the angular-contact design recommended?

The spherical housing washer of the 532 series is designed to compensate for misalignment. If the housing bore and the shaft are not exactly at right angles to one another, the bearing compensates for this misalignment in combination with a suitable spherical washer. Please note during the design phase that this washer is not included with this item and must be procured separately if angular adjustability is required for the design.
