About This Bearing

This product is a **double direction thrust ball bearing**, a type of rolling-element bearing specifically designed to handle heavy axial (thrust) loads in both directions. Unlike radial bearings, which primarily support loads perpendicular to the shaft, thrust bearings are used for forces acting parallel to the shaft. The **FAG 52214** consists of three main separable components: two housing washers, one shaft washer, and two ball and cage assemblies. This modular design makes mounting and dismounting significantly easier. Its construction ensures high rigidity and precision, making it suitable for applications that require accurate axial positioning under substantial load.
