Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16005 -2Z

The FAG 16005 -2Z deep-groove ball bearing features compact dimensions of 25 × 47 × 8 mm with cover plates on both sides for dust-protected industrial applications.

The 16005 -2Z deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel, designed primarily for radial loads. With a bore of 25 mm, an outside diameter of 47 mm and a narrow width of 8 mm, this model is suitable for space-saving bearing arrangements. The manufacturer, FAG, fits the bearing with a sheet steel cage and end shields on both sides. Design engineers and maintenance technicians opt for this design when rotating shafts need to be guided precisely within limited axial installation space.

What is the 16005-2Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This single-row deep-groove ball bearing is suitable for designs with a narrow axial installation width. Typical applications include compact shaft mountings and general drive technology. In addition to predominantly radial forces, the geometry of the raceways also accommodates moderate axial forces in both directions. Thanks to its operating temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees, the component operates reliably in industrial environments. The cylindrical outer ring without a flange allows for flush mounting in smooth housing bores.

What is the function of the 2Z cover plates and the standard radial bearing clearance?

The suffix ‘2Z’ denotes gap seals made of sheet steel fitted on both sides. These washers protect the interior from coarse dirt particles without exerting additional friction on the inner ring. The bearing has standard radial clearance and a tolerance class of P0/PN (ABEC 1). This combination meets the requirements of common fits in mechanical engineering. For maintenance engineers and distributors, the clear labelling simplifies replacement, as the shaft dimension, outer diameter and bearing clearance correspond exactly to standardised values.
