52224 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 52224 is a metric thrust ball bearing engineered for applications demanding high axial load capacity and precision. Its design is optimized to accommodate unidirectional thrust loads with exceptional reliability. Manufactured from high-grade chrome steel and featuring a stainless steel cage, this bearing offers robust performance, dimensional stability, and is suitable for moderate speed operations. Its compliant status with ROHS and REACH makes it a responsible choice for modern industrial applications.
52224 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 52 | Indicates a thrust ball bearing series with a flat housing and shaft washer. |
| 224 | Specifies the bearing dimensions: 100 mm bore, 170 mm outside diameter, and 68 mm width. |
| Open (Seal Type) | The bearing is supplied without seals or shields, designed for applications where external sealing is provided or where maximum speed is a priority. |
52224 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
High Load Capacity: The 52224 is designed with a single row of balls to handle high axial dynamic load ratings of 28575 lbf and axial static load ratings of 87750 lbf, making it ideal for heavy thrust applications.
Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured with tight dimensional tolerances on the bore, outside diameter, and width, this bearing ensures precise location and high system rigidity. The use of a stainless steel cage provides strength and corrosion resistance, contributing to stable operation.
Moderate Speed Performance: With a limiting speed of 1700 rpm, the bearing is suitable for a range of industrial applications. The open design and optimized cage facilitate efficient lubrication for smooth operation.
Material Integrity: Components made from chrome steel offer high hardness and wear resistance, ensuring a long service life under demanding conditions.
52224 Bearing Typical Application Areas
The 52224 thrust ball bearing is commonly specified in equipment requiring robust axial support. Key application areas include:
- Industrial Machinery: Vertical pumps, heavy-duty gearboxes, and crane hooks.
- Automotive Systems: Clutch release bearings and steering mechanisms.
- Power Transmission: Thrust applications in worm gear reducers and screw jacks.
- General Engineering: Any assembly where a high-capacity, unidirectional thrust load must be supported.
