Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 52217

The SKF 52217 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing supports axial forces in both directions and has dimensions of 70x125x55 mm.

The SKF 52217 axial deep groove ball bearing accommodates purely axial forces in both directions and guides shafts in the axial direction. With a bore of 70 mm, an outside diameter of 125 mm and a width of 55 mm, this design is suitable for industrial applications. Manufactured from standard rolling bearing steel (100Cr6), the bearing operates within a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees Celsius. The guided sheet steel cage maintains an even spacing between the rolling elements.

What is the 52217 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This roller bearing supports assemblies subject to alternating or bidirectional axial loads. Purely axial bearings in this series do not absorb any significant radial forces, which is why radial loads should always be supported by separate radial bearings. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering as well as in bearing arrangements with alternating axial thrust directions. As this model is not angle-adjustable, the design requires precisely aligned shafts and flat contact surfaces.

What distinguishes the double-acting design of this rolling bearing?

The double-sided design provides dimensionally stable support for shafts in both thrust directions. The component comprises a central shaft disc, two housing discs and two sets of ball rings guided by sheet steel cages. SKF manufactures this product to the standard tolerance class P0/PN (equivalent to ABEC 1), meaning it meets common industrial requirements for dimensional and radial runout accuracy. The design is intended for installation without separate shims.
