Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 54209

The FAG 54209 axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates high axial forces in both directions and has a bore diameter of 35 mm, an outside diameter of 73 mm and a width of 39.6 mm.

The FAG 54209 axial deep groove ball bearing is designed as a double-acting axial bearing that accommodates axial forces in both directions and provides axial guidance for the shaft. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6) with a sheet steel cage, this design is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees. It is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. The design is not intended to accommodate radial loads; it is therefore specifically intended for axial guidance applications.

How does the 54209 axial deep groove ball bearing accommodate axial forces in both directions?

This double-acting axial bearing guides shafts in both axial directions, particularly in designs subject to alternating thrust forces. As axial deep groove ball bearings are only permitted to transmit longitudinal forces, in practice this component is combined with separate radial bearings on the same shaft. With its dimensions of 35 mm internal diameter and 73 mm external diameter, the bearing provides a robust foundation for machine components designed to accommodate axial loads from both directions.

When is the angular adjustability of the 54209 axial deep-groove ball bearing relevant?

The 54209 model is designed to be angularly adjustable, provided it is used in combination with suitable washers. The scope of delivery for this item comprises only the axial deep-groove ball bearing without washers. If misalignment or shaft deflection occurs during operation, a domed housing washer in combination with a spherical washer compensates for static angular misalignment. In the case of rigid mounting surfaces without misalignment, the component is mounted directly onto flat contact surfaces, whereby the contact surfaces must be perpendicular to the shaft axis.
