Bearing 52204 transfers axial loads in both directions, based on a double direction thrust ball design with a steel sheet metal cage (JP). Overall height is 26.0 mm, net mass 150.0 g. The limiting speed is rated at 8500 1/min, with a reference speed of 11100 1/min. The double direction arrangement allows the bearing to support axial forces acting from either side of the shaft, making it suitable where a fixed axial position must be maintained in both directions under moderate speed conditions. The sheet metal cage keeps the balls evenly spaced while limiting added mass, which corresponds with the stated speed ratings. As a pure thrust design, it carries axial load only and requires a separate radial bearing for shaft support; mounting and lubrication should follow the clearance and fit recommendations applicable to axial deep groove ball bearings of this size.
