Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 53202

The SKF 53202 single-direction axial deep groove ball bearing with a 15 mm bore absorbs axial forces and compensates for misalignment.

The 53202 axial deep-groove ball bearing supports shafts in the axial direction. SKF manufactures this single-row unit from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6) with a sheet steel cage. With dimensions of a 15 mm bore diameter, a 32 mm outer diameter and a width of 13.3 mm, this version complies with the standard tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1). The component is designed for an operating temperature range of -30 °C to +150 °C.

Which load direction does the 53202 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodate?

This rolling bearing is specifically designed to absorb axial forces from a single direction. In axially loaded bearing arrangements, the shaft collar guides the rotating shaft, whilst radial forces must be supported separately by radial bearings. Due to its design, the component is not intended for purely radial loads. The guided sheet steel cage keeps the rolling elements at a uniform distance within the ball raceway and ensures smooth operation.

When is an additional washer recommended for bearing 53202?

The bearing features a spherical housing washer and is supplied without a shim. If manufacturing-related misalignments or alignment errors occur between the housing seat and the shaft, the component can be fitted with adjustable angular alignment. This requires a separately supplied hollow spherical washer. The spherical contact surface compensates for static angular misalignments in the connecting parts, thereby promoting an even load distribution across the balls.
