Thrust Ball Bearing 52202 ZEN 10x32x22

Applications

The 52202 ZEN thrust ball bearing (10x32x22 mm) is designed for handling high axial loads in one direction. It is commonly used in machinery where rotational movement must be supported while maintaining precise axial positioning. Typical applications include gearboxes, machine tool assemblies, agricultural equipment, electric motors, transmission shafts, and industrial power units. This thrust bearing ensures stable operation under consistent load and supports smooth rotational movement.

Advantages

The 52202 bearing features two precision-machined raceways and a cage that maintains optimal ball spacing, reducing friction and enabling reliable rotation under axial stress. Engineered for durability, the bearing maintains dimensional stability under varied operating temperatures and lubricant types. The ZEN brand ensures manufacturing consistency, long service life, and reliable performance in continuous industrial operation.

FAQ

What is a thrust ball bearing used for?
A thrust ball bearing supports axial loads in one direction while allowing rotational movement, making it ideal for applications where axial force is the primary load.

Can thrust bearings handle radial loads?
No. Thrust ball bearings are intended for axial loads only. If radial loads are present, a radial or spherical bearing should be selected.

How to choose the correct thrust bearing size?
Select based on shaft diameter (inner bore), housing dimension (outer diameter), and required load capacity for your application.

Do thrust ball bearings require lubrication?
Yes. Proper lubrication ensures extended service life, reduces friction, and improves operational stability.
