Axial Deep Groove Ball B. FAG 52316

The FAG 52316 axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed for shafts with a 65 mm bore and reliably accommodates axial forces acting in both directions.

The 52316 axial deep-groove ball bearing is designed to specifically accommodate pure axial loads from both directions. With key dimensions of a 65 mm bore diameter, 140 mm outer diameter and 79 mm overall height, the design provides axial support for components on both sides. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6 and fitted with a sheet steel cage, this version is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees. It is manufactured to standard tolerance P0 or ABEC 1.

What is the 52316 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for in mechanical engineering?

This bearing is used when rotating shafts need to support axial forces in both axial directions. As axial deep groove ball bearings are not designed to transmit radial loads, radial support is provided separately by suitable radial bearings. Typical applications include bearing arrangements with varying axial load directions. The design serves to position the shaft precisely in the axial direction and counteracts axial displacement under load.

What should be taken into account when installing a non-angle-adjustable bearing?

This double-acting design is not angularly adjustable and does not include any additional shims. The contact surfaces on the housing and shaft must therefore be aligned exactly at right angles to the bearing axis to avoid localised edge pressures. Even minor misalignments or tilting place uneven loads on the rolling elements. It is important during assembly to ensure clean, flat surfaces and a carefully adjusted preload so that all rolling elements rest evenly against the raceways.
