Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 52215

The FAG 52215 double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing accommodates axial forces in both directions with a 60 mm bore and an 110 mm outer diameter.

The FAG 52215 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a double-acting rolling bearing for industrial applications in which axial forces act from both directions. With a bore of 60 mm, an outside diameter of 110 mm and a width of 47 mm, the bearing guides the shaft axially in both directions. Due to its design, this type of bearing must not be subjected to radial loads. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6 and fitted with a sheet steel cage, the bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees.

What operating conditions does the double-acting axial deep-groove ball bearing 52215 require?

This axial bearing is suitable for applications in mechanical and plant engineering that require the shaft to be axially fixed at both ends. As the component accommodates axial loads in both directions, it can, where necessary, replace two separate single-acting bearings. During design, it is important to note that the bearing must only be subjected to pure axial loads. Separate radial bearings must be provided on the shaft to accommodate any transverse forces that may occur.

What is important to bear in mind when installing the 52215 axial deep groove ball bearing?

During assembly, ensure that the mounting surfaces are perpendicular to the shaft axis. This model is not angle-adjustable and is sensitive to misalignment between the shaft and the housing. The product does not include shims, so the housing mounting surfaces must be flat. The bearing is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1) for standard fits in mechanical engineering. Furthermore, the operating temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees must be taken into account when selecting the lubricant.
