Product Overview: The 5308 Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 5308 bearing is a high-performance Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing, engineered to handle complex load conditions with exceptional rigidity. With dimensions of 40x90x36.5mm, this bearing is a key component in our 5300 Series, a part of the broader Angular Contact Ball Bearings category. Its design is similar to two single-row angular contact bearings arranged back-to-back, but it occupies less axial space. This configuration allows it to accommodate radial loads as well as axial loads in both directions, making it a versatile and space-saving solution for a wide range of industrial applications.
Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel, the 5308 provides the durability and precision required for demanding machinery. Its inherent stiffness makes it ideal for applications where shaft rigidity and precise positioning are critical. As a trusted supplier, we ensure our bearings meet stringent quality standards for reliable and long-lasting performance.
Key Features of the 5308 Bearing
- Double Row Design: Provides high load-carrying capacity in a compact design, accommodating both radial and bidirectional axial loads.
- Back-to-Back Arrangement: The internal construction offers high rigidity, making it suitable for applications requiring stiff bearing support and resistance to tilting moments.
- Combined Load Capability: Excellently handles a combination of radial and axial forces, simplifying machine design by reducing the need for separate thrust bearings.
- Space-Saving: Offers the performance of two single-row bearings in a narrower profile, saving valuable axial space.
- Precision Machining: Engineered for low friction and smooth operation, contributing to enhanced machine efficiency and service life.
- Durable Construction: Made from premium bearing steel for superior wear resistance and longevity in tough industrial environments.
Common Applications of 5308 Bearings
- Industrial Pumps and Compressors: Provides rigid support for shafts, ensuring stable operation under high pressure and variable loads.
- Gearboxes and Reducers: Ideal for supporting gear shafts, maintaining precise alignment and handling the combined loads generated by gear meshing.
- Machine Tool Spindles: Offers the high degree of stiffness necessary for precision cutting and machining operations.
- Hoisting Equipment: Used in cranes, winches, and lifts where bearings must support heavy radial and axial loads securely.
- Conveyor Belt Rollers: Supports drive and idler rollers, handling the tension and weight of conveyor systems.
- Agricultural Machinery: Suitable for equipment like tillers and combines that experience heavy, multi-directional loads.
- Automotive Applications: Can be found in wheel hub assemblies and transmission systems requiring robust, compact bearing solutions.
- Ventilation and Fan Systems: Supports fan shafts, ensuring smooth, reliable rotation under continuous operation.
Benefits of Using the 5308 Bearing
- Enhanced Rotational Accuracy: The high rigidity of the double row design minimizes shaft deflection, leading to more precise and stable machinery operation.
- Increased Machine Uptime: Robust construction and ability to handle complex loads reduce the likelihood of premature bearing failure and costly downtime.
- Simplified Assembly: As a single, non-separable unit, it is easier to handle and install compared to mounting two separate single-row bearings.
- Improved Load Distribution: The 30° contact angle effectively distributes loads across the raceways, extending the bearing's operational life.
- Versatile Performance: Its capability to manage loads from any direction makes it a flexible solution for various engineering challenges.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Eliminates the need for a second bearing in many applications, saving on parts, space, and installation time.
