Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 54307

The FAG 54307 double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing (30x68x47.2 mm) accommodates axial forces from both directions and can be fitted with shims to allow for angular adjustment.

The 54307 axial deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings is designed as a double-acting rolling bearing for pure axial loads from both directions. Thanks to this design, the bearing guides the shaft axially in two directions. Manufactured from through-hardened standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) with a robust sheet steel cage, the design is rated for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees. It is manufactured to standard tolerance P0/PN or ABEC 1 for use in industrial mechanical engineering.

What is the 54307 axial deep groove ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This design is used when shafts need to absorb axial thrust forces from varying directions, whilst any radial loads are supported by separate radial bearings. In combination with suitable spherical washers, the spherical housing washer compensates for installation-related angular errors or misalignments of the connecting parts. Without additional washers, the assembly serves as a rigid axial guide on flat-machined housing surfaces.

What should be taken into account regarding the installation and accessories for bearing 54307?

The scope of supply comprises only the 54307 axial deep-groove ball bearing without washers. If the angular movement function is to be used to compensate for misalignment, appropriate compensating washers must be provided separately. The installation geometry requires a shaft with a diameter of 30 mm, a housing bore with an external diameter of 68 mm, and an installation space for a width of 47.2 mm. As the bearing components are unsealed, the choice of lubricant and housing seals must be adapted to the operating conditions.
