NSK 53264X dimensions and axial-load reference
Read the complete assembly size
NSK 53264X is a single-direction thrust ball bearing reference with aligning seat. Its nominal assembly envelope is 320×440×100.5 mm: shaft bore d = 320 mm, overall diameter D = 440 mm and total height T3 = 100.5 mm. A loose washer or cage measurement is not the height of the complete assembly.
Axial direction and support arrangement
This separable construction uses a shaft washer, a ball-and-cage assembly and a housing washer. It supports axial force in one direction. This is a thrust-only construction. It cannot be chosen as the sole radial support for a shaft. Radial force and overturning loads need a separately verified support arrangement.
Axial ratings, not permissible working loads
The printed basic dynamic axial rating is Ca = 585 kN and the basic static axial rating is C0a = 2680 kN. These values belong to the catalogue assembly and standard cage. They are not radial Cr/C0r values and do not by themselves establish an allowable operating load or a guaranteed life.
Speed and lubrication
The catalogue lists 450 r/min for grease lubrication and 670 r/min for oil lubrication. These are lubrication-specific limiting speeds, not permission to run every installation continuously at that speed. The actual load, lubricant delivery, temperature and heat removal still need checking. A minimum axial load is required to avoid ball/washer slippage; this source table does not provide a model-specific minimum-load force.
Installation checks before selecting this model
Identify the shaft washer by the d bore and distinguish it from the housing washer with bore D1 = 325 mm. Keep the raceway faces towards the balls. Confirm the seating surfaces, shoulders, fillets, retention and separate radial support against the machine drawing. The mounting dimensions in the parameter table are geometric references, not a complete machine assembly procedure.
Aligning seat versus the U assembly
This catalogue designation has an aligning seat but is not the U-listed assembly with a separate aligning seat washer. Its height T3 = 100.5 mm must not be replaced with the flat-seat or U-assembly height. Confirm the matching seating arrangement; no universal allowable misalignment angle is supplied by this table.
Meaning of X in this catalogue
Here X indicates that the shaft washer outside diameter d1 is smaller than the housing washer outside diameter D. It is a geometry qualification, not an ABEC precision grade. Retain X when matching the printed reference.
Selection and mounting limits
- No machine fitment or direct replacement approval follows from equal boundary dimensions. Compare the construction, load directions, ratings, speed, fits and full marking.
- No grease fill, temperature limit, installed preload, retaining-nut torque, numerical clearance or CAD file is established by these table rows. Missing information has not been borrowed from another model.
- The standard-cage ratings can change if the cage or number of balls changes. A different suffix requires its own specification.
