Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 16015

The SKF 16015 deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 75x115x13 mm, offers a compact solution for predominantly radial loads in protected mounting spaces.

The 16015 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from 100Cr6 bearing steel in the SKF Explorer design. With a narrow width of just 13 mm, a 75 mm bore and an 115 mm outer diameter, this component requires little axial space. It guides the shaft precisely and, in addition to radial forces, also accommodates axial loads in both directions. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements along the hardened raceways.

What are the advantages of the 16015 deep groove ball bearing when axial installation space is limited?

This design is particularly recommended when axial installation space is limited, but a shaft diameter capable of withstanding the load still needs to be accommodated. Typical applications include compact bearing arrangements with a circulating supply of lubricating oil or grease. As the outer ring has no flange or groove, the bearing can be slid directly into cylindrical housing bores.

What should be borne in mind with the open design and tolerance class P6?

As an open rolling bearing, the 16015 design has no integrated seals or cover plates. The lubricant can be freely selected to suit the respective operating conditions, whilst external housing seals prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture. The permissible temperature range is from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. Dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 with standard running accuracy PN enables a precise fit to be selected for the shaft and housing.
