Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 52316

The SKF 52316 double-acting axial deep groove ball bearing (65x140x79 mm) accurately accommodates high axial forces in both directions.

The 52316 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a specialised rolling bearing designed to accommodate purely axial forces. As this bearing acts in both directions, it guides shafts precisely in two axial directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6), this design covers a wide temperature range from –30 to +150 degrees. The integrated sheet steel cage reliably guides the rolling elements in the raceways and ensures smooth running under industrial operating conditions.

In which applications is the 52316 axial deep groove ball bearing used?

This design accommodates axial loads that occur alternately or in both directions. Typical applications are found in assemblies and industrial plant with clearly defined axial shaft guidance. Due to their design, axial deep groove ball bearings are intended solely for axial forces and do not transmit radial forces. To accommodate any transverse forces that may occur, it is therefore necessary to combine them specifically with separate radial bearings in the bearing arrangement.

Why is the double-acting design crucial?

Unlike single-direction bearings, the double-direction variant accommodates axial forces in both axial directions. The bearing is not angularly adjustable, and the product range does not include shims. Precisely perpendicular contact surfaces on the housing and shaft prevent edge stresses during operation. Thanks to manufacture to standard tolerances (P0/PN or ABEC 1), the component can be seamlessly integrated into standard fits.
