Axial deep-groove ball bearings 51 | 52 | 53 | 54 | AKL - Fx-M | Findling Wälzlager

Axial deep-groove ball bearings

Axial deep-groove ball bearings consist of shaft washers, housing washers, and ball-cage assemblies. The bearings are not self-retaining. As a result, the ball-cage assembly and bearing plates can be installed independently of one another. In addition to series with flat plates, there are also series with spherical housing washers to compensating for static angular errors. These designs are usually used in combination with washers. Axial deep-groove ball bearings are available with one-sided or double-sided action. However, both designs can handle high axial forces, but cannot be loaded radially.

Technical information

Cage types may vary depending on the size and application type. We carry various cage designs made of steel sheet and plastics.

Cage designs Mark Comment
Sheet steel without labeling pay attention to installation position
Brass one-piece cage MB rolling member-centered
Glass fiber reinforced plastic TN rolling member-centered
     
High-quality oils and greases

A lubricant selection that is precisely tailored to the application conditions contributes disproportionately to the service life both in a positive and in a negative sense. For this reason, the technical and economical optimization of lubricant is an important contribution made by our application consulting.

An essential property of greases and oils is the reliable mechanical separation of the rolling element from the raceway. Depending on the application, you need special types of grease to achieve this function. The following properties in particular affect the function:

  • the starting and operating temperature
  • the speed of the bearing
  • the external ambient conditions (moisture, contamination, vapors/gases...)

Our application engineers would be happy to analyze your application conditions and recommend suitable lubricants.

More information on special lubricants  Contact for applications consulting

We use the following lubricant manufacturers as standard:

  • Kyodo Yushi
  • Klüber Lubrication
  • Shell
  • Lubcon
  • Mobil
  • Fuchs

We would be happy to make you a concrete offer for special processing, including the use of greases, oils or preserving agents specifically requested by you.

Identifying and repairing rolling bearing damage
Identifying and repairing rolling bearing damage.

Rolling bearing damage can have a wide variety of causes and is not necessarily caused by a faulty original product. However, most companies are unable to carry out a detailed damage analysis – good thing Findling Wälzlager’s experts can provide further assistance here: Damage analysis is part of the service portfolio. Findling Wälzlager acts as an independent partner that looks into the causes of the ball bearing defects and helps solve problems.

The right roller bearing selection
Cages, bearing clearance, fits: properly specifying rolling bearings

There are a lot of popular misconceptions when it comes to the selection of roller bearings. A good example of this is the myth regarding the load capacity of roller bearings: the specification of the load factor in the catalog and above all the overall correct technical specification are both crucial in determining the performance of a bearing. When making the right selection, the bearing clearance and fit also play a decisive role in addition to the cage.

Mistakes when choosing rolling bearings: basing your choice on the "electric motor quality"

Deep groove ball bearings with "electric motor quality" – this is how many providers market their products. Upon closer inspection, the term does not actually mean much since there are no precisely formulated, cross-manufacturer criteria for it. The comprehensive features of Findling Wälzlager’s Xspeed deep-groove ball bearing illustrate which properties are actually important and that a "noise test" is not enough.
