Axial Deep Groove Ball B. SKF 52315

The SKF 52315 axial deep groove ball bearing accommodates axial loads from both directions and provides precise shaft guidance, with dimensions of 60x135x79 mm.

The 52315 axial deep groove ball bearing is a double-acting axial bearing from SKF designed to accommodate axial thrust forces from two directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6), the design guides a shaft axially in both directions. With a bore of 60 mm, an outside diameter of 135 mm and a width of 79 mm, the bearing is suitable for heavily loaded mechanical assemblies. A dimensionally stable sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements at operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees Celsius.

What is the 52315 axial deep-groove ball bearing suitable for in mechanical engineering?

This axial bearing is suitable for designs where alternating axial forces or axial forces acting in both directions need to be supported. This type of bearing cannot accommodate purely radial forces. Typical applications are found in general industrial and fixture construction in bearing arrangements subject to thrust loads on both sides. As the bearing is not angularly adjustable, its use requires precisely machined, perpendicular contact surfaces on the shaft and housing.

What is important when installing the 52315 axial deep groove ball bearing?

During installation, care must be taken to ensure the exact alignment of the mating surfaces. This design does not include separate shims and does not compensate for misalignment between the shaft axis and the housing bore. Alignment errors lead to uneven loading of the raceways. Tolerance class P0 (equivalent to ABEC 1) defines the standard dimensional and running accuracy. A lubricant suitable for the intended temperature range is selected to ensure proper lubrication and heat dissipation.
