Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 52215

The 52215 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing from SKF, measuring 60x110x47 mm, accommodates axial forces in both directions.

The 52215 axial deep groove ball bearing is designed for industrial applications. This bearing from SKF Wälzlager provides axial support for shafts in both directions and guides them precisely in their axial position. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), the bearing offers high dimensional stability under load. A guided sheet steel cage maintains the rolling elements at a uniform distance. The design is engineered to accommodate pure axial forces on both sides.

What is the 52215 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This double-acting axial bearing accommodates axial forces in both directions. The design is not intended for radial loads; therefore, a separate radial bearing arrangement must be provided in relevant designs. Typical applications include shaft guides and bearing arrangements with alternating axial load directions. As this bearing is not angularly adjustable, the mounting surfaces on the housing and shaft must be machined exactly at right angles to the axis of rotation to avoid edge pressures.

What are the special features of the double-acting design?

Unlike single-acting axial bearings, the 52215 design features a central shaft disc and two housing discs, each containing a cage with balls. The product scope includes the axial deep-groove ball bearing without shims. With tolerance class P0 (normal tolerance), the bearing is suitable for standardised fits in industrial applications. The permissible temperature range extends from –30 to +150 degrees, tailored to the 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel and the sheet metal cage.
