Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 53224

The FAG 53224 single-direction axial deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 120 × 170 × 40.8 mm, accommodates high axial forces and can be fitted with angular adjustment.

The FAG 53224 axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed to accommodate unidirectional axial forces in mechanical and plant engineering. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6 and fitted with a sheet steel cage, this rolling bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees. With a bore of 120 mm, an outside diameter of 170 mm and a height of 40.8 mm, this version complies with tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1. It guides shafts in the axial direction and, as a single bearing, does not include a washer.

In which applications is the 53224 axial deep-groove ball bearing used?

Users employ the 53224 axial deep-groove ball bearing to transfer unidirectional axial loads into the housing. As the design is intended for pure axial forces, it is typically used in combination with separate radial bearings. Typical applications include vertical shaft lines or industrial gearbox assemblies. The spherical housing surface, in conjunction with a suitable washer, serves to compensate for static misalignment.

What is the function of the washer in the 53224 axial deep-groove ball bearing?

The scope of supply includes the axial deep-groove ball bearing without a washer. To ensure a flat housing mounting surface, a corresponding concave spherical mating surface is required in the housing, or a spherical washer must be fitted to utilise the angular adjustability. Before installation, in addition to the mounting dimensions of 120 mm on the shaft and 170 mm on the housing, the direction of action must also be taken into account. Single-acting axial bearings support loads in one direction only.
