Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 54210

The FAG 54210 double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing (40x78x42 mm) accommodates axial forces from both directions and guides shafts within the housing.

The FAG 54210 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a double-acting rolling bearing designed to accommodate pure axial loads from both directions. With dimensions of a 40 mm bore, 78 mm outside diameter and 42 mm height, the design guides shafts axially on both sides. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6 and fitted with a sheet steel cage, this bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees. It is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

What is the 54210 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

The 54210 axial deep groove ball bearing is primarily intended for applications involving axial loads in alternating or opposite directions. Typical applications include shaft mountings in general mechanical engineering, where components need to be axially fixed at both ends. As the design is intended solely for axial forces, separate radial bearings absorb the transverse forces. In combination with shims, the bearing also compensates for manufacturing-related misalignment or angular errors in the connecting parts.

When are shims required for the 54210 axial deep groove ball bearing?

The product scope comprises the axial deep-groove ball bearing alone, without shims. If misalignment occurs between the shaft axis and the housing mounting surface, the component can be fitted together with spherical shims to provide angular adjustability. When designing the assembly, please note the permissible temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees and ensure the correct lubricant is used. As this bearing is designed without an integrated seal, it is recommended that the housing be sealed externally against dirt and moisture.
