Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16052 -M

The FAG 16052 -M deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 260 × 400 × 44 mm and a robust brass cage, offers high load-carrying capacity whilst maintaining a slim cross-sectional design.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 16052 -M from FAG primarily withstands radial loads and also supports axial forces in both directions. With a bore of 260 mm, an outer diameter of 400 mm and a narrow width of 44 mm, this design is suitable for applications with limited radial installation space. The open rolling bearing is made from standard rolling bearing steel (100Cr6) and operates within a temperature range of -20 to +150 degrees.

What is the 16052-M deep groove ball bearing suitable for in mechanical engineering?

This large bearing is primarily used in bearing arrangements where large shaft diameters need to be combined with a slim cross-section. The narrow design allows for compact housing dimensions whilst accommodating combined loads. As the component is of an open design, it is integrated directly into the structure’s lubrication system or supplied with lubricating oil or grease via housing lubrication.

What is the function of the brass cage in model 16052 -M?

The suffix ‘M’ denotes a brass cage, which guides the rolling elements precisely and can withstand higher thermal and mechanical loads than comparable sheet metal cages. The brass cage is well suited to operating conditions involving vibrations or oscillations. Together with the standard radial bearing clearance and tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1), the bearing is designed for standardised fits on shafts and housings without the need for additional adjustment.
