Product Overview: The 5201 Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 5201 bearing is a high-performance component from our 5200 Series of Angular Contact Ball Bearings. Engineered with two rows of balls, this bearing is designed to accommodate combined radial and axial loads in both directions, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring high rigidity and rotational accuracy. With dimensions of 12x32x15.9mm, its compact design effectively functions like two single-row angular contact ball bearings arranged back-to-back but requires less axial space.
As a premier supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 5201 bearings meet stringent quality standards, delivering exceptional performance and reliability. This bearing is crucial in applications where precise shaft guidance is necessary under complex load conditions. Explore our complete range of angular contact ball bearings to find the ideal solution for your specific engineering needs.
Key Features of the 5201 Bearing
- Double Row Design: Features two rows of balls, providing a high capacity for both radial and bidirectional axial loads.
- High Rigidity: Offers excellent resistance to tilting moments, ensuring stable and precise shaft positioning.
- Compact and Space-Saving: Provides the functionality of two single-row bearings in a narrower width, simplifying assembly and saving space.
- Back-to-Back Arrangement: The internal design mimics a back-to-back mounting of two single-row bearings, offering a rigid bearing arrangement.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel for superior hardness, wear resistance, and long service life.
- Versatile Load Handling: Capable of supporting combined (radial and axial) loads simultaneously.
Common Applications of 5201 Bearings
- Pumps and Compressors: Provides rigid support for shafts, ensuring efficient operation under pressure.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Used to support gear shafts, handling the combined loads generated by gear meshing.
- Machine Tool Spindles: Ensures the high rotational accuracy and rigidity required in precision machining applications.
- Electric Motors: Supports motor shafts, managing both radial and axial forces to maintain alignment.
- Conveyor and Roller Systems: Ideal for supporting rollers that are subjected to both radial weight and axial thrust loads.
- Automotive Transmissions: Offers a compact and rigid solution for supporting shafts within vehicle gearboxes.
- Agricultural Machinery: Suitable for equipment where shafts experience complex load patterns during operation.
Benefits of Using the 5201 Bearing
- Enhanced Operational Stability: The high rigidity minimizes shaft deflection, leading to smoother and more reliable machinery performance.
- Simplified Assembly: A single double-row bearing is easier to mount than a matched pair of single-row bearings, reducing installation time and potential for error.
- Increased Load Capacity: Can handle heavier combined loads than a single-row deep groove ball bearing of similar dimensions.
- Extended Service Life: Robust design and ability to manage complex loads reduce wear and extend the bearing's operational lifespan.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Eliminates the need for a second bearing and complex housing arrangements in many applications.
- Improved Machine Performance: Contributes to greater overall precision and efficiency in the machinery where it is installed.
