Product Overview: The 5216 Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 5216 bearing is a high-capacity component from our 5200 Series of Angular Contact Ball Bearings. With its principal dimensions of 80mm bore diameter, 140mm outer diameter, and 44.4mm thickness, this bearing is engineered to handle combined radial and axial loads in both directions. Its double row design provides the functionality of two single-row angular contact bearings arranged back-to-back but within a more compact axial space. This configuration offers high rigidity, making it an excellent choice for applications where shaft deflection must be minimized and tilting moments are present.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings, we ensure our 5216 bearings are manufactured to precise industry standards using high-quality bearing steel. This results in reliable performance, low friction, and an extended service life, even in demanding operational environments. It is a versatile solution for a wide range of machinery requiring robust and rigid bearing arrangements.
Key Features of the 5216 Bearing
- Double Row Construction: Provides high load-carrying capacity for both radial and axial forces in either direction.
- High Rigidity: The back-to-back arrangement of the internal raceways offers excellent resistance to shaft tilting and deflection.
- Combined Load Support: Capable of accommodating significant radial loads along with axial loads, simplifying machine design.
- Space-Saving Design: Delivers the performance of two single bearings in a narrower, more compact unit.
- Precision Manufacturing: Produced to strict tolerances to ensure smooth, efficient operation and interchangeability.
- Durable Materials: Constructed from premium-grade bearing steel for superior durability and wear resistance.
Common Applications of 5216 Bearings
- Industrial Pumps: Provides rigid support for pump shafts, ensuring reliable performance under high pressure.
