Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 53201

The SKF 53201 axial deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 12 × 28 × 11.4 mm, supports single-direction axial forces in machine and fixture construction.

The 53201 axial deep-groove ball bearing is a single-direction axial bearing designed for shafts with a 12 mm diameter. This design accommodates axial forces only and guides shafts in a single direction. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6), the bearing features a sheet steel cage to guide the rolling elements. The permissible temperature range is from –30 to +150 degrees. The product complies with standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

In which applications is the 53201 axial deep groove ball bearing used?

Design engineers primarily use this component where purely axial loads occur within a compact installation space. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to axial loads on one side, as well as in general machinery construction. As the bearing is only designed to accommodate axial forces, the design always requires separate radial guidance of the shaft. The separable design also facilitates the separate assembly of the shaft ring, rolling element set and spherical housing ring.

When is the angularly adjustable housing disc appropriate?

This design features a spherical housing disc and, in conjunction with a separately available shim, compensates for static misalignment. If installation-related angular misalignments occur between the housing surface and the shaft axis, the disc slides on the support surface and prevents excessive edge stresses. Please note the scope of supply when selecting the product: the item comprises the axial deep-groove ball bearing only. If required, select suitable spherical washers separately to match your housing seat.
