Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 52409

The SKF 52409 axial deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 35 x 100 x 72 mm, accommodates axial forces acting in both directions in mechanical engineering applications.

The 52409 axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed to guide shafts subjected to alternating thrust forces in both directions. SKF manufactures this rolling bearing from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel, which ensures dimensional stability. The design complies with the standard tolerance P0/PN or ABEC 1. Thanks to the guided sheet steel cage, the design runs smoothly even during continuous rotational movement. The scope of supply includes the bearing unit itself, without additional shims for suitable housing seats.

What loads does the 52409 axial deep-groove ball bearing withstand during operation?

This component is used when a shaft needs to transmit axial forces in two directions and no significant radial loads are present. Typical applications include designs with alternating compressive loads along the axis. As the rolling elements are guided on both sides, the bearing fixes the shaft axially in both directions. If additional transverse forces occur, this axial bearing is combined with separate radial bearings on the same shaft.

Why does the 52409 axial deep-groove ball bearing require precise alignment?

The double-sided operating principle requires a perpendicular and rigid mounting structure, as the 52409 design is not angle-adjustable. Misalignment between the shaft and housing leads to edge stresses, which can shorten the service life. Flat mounting surfaces and careful axial alignment are therefore required during assembly. The rolling bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees, making it suitable for demanding thermal operating conditions.
