Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 53311

The FAG 53311 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates unilateral axial forces and has dimensions of 55 × 105 × 39.3 mm.

The FAG 53311 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a separable rolling bearing designed for applications involving purely axial loads in one direction. With a bore of 55 mm, an outside diameter of 105 mm and a height of 39.3 mm, this component provides axial support for shafts. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6 and fitted with a guided sheet steel cage, the design is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees. It is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

What is the 53311 single-direction axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This thrust bearing absorbs high axial forces acting parallel to the axis of rotation. The bearing must not bear radial loads, which is why it should be combined with a separate radial bearing in designs. Typical applications are found in general mechanical engineering at bearing locations subject to purely one-way axial loads. As it is designed for axial thrust, the component guides the shaft in one direction. This design is suitable for industrial plant where shaft forces need to be specifically transferred into the machine housing.

When is the angularly adjustable version of the 533 series appropriate?

The 533 series features a spherical housing washer. In conjunction with a separately available shim, the bearing compensates for misalignment or manufacturing-related skew between the housing and the shaft. Please note that the scope of delivery for this item comprises only the axial deep-groove ball bearing without a shim. For an angular-contact bearing arrangement, you will need the appropriate spherical washer. During assembly, fit the shaft washer with a tight fit onto the shaft, whilst the housing washer is centred in the housing.
