Product Overview: The 5220 Double-Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 5220 bearing is a high-capacity, double-row angular contact ball bearing, engineered to accommodate combined radial and axial loads in both directions. As a vital component in the 5200 Series, this bearing offers a compact and rigid solution for demanding applications. Its internal design is comparable to two single-row angular contact ball bearings arranged back-to-back but requires less axial space. With principal dimensions of 100x180x60.3mm, it provides a robust and reliable solution for various industrial machinery.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 5220 ensures consistent performance and longevity. Its dual-row configuration provides excellent stiffness, making it ideal for applications where shaft deflection must be minimized. Our extensive range of Angular Contact Ball Bearings is designed to meet the rigorous requirements of modern industrial environments, ensuring your equipment operates with maximum efficiency and reliability.
Key Features of the 5220 Bearing
