Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 16013

The SKF 16013 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 65x100x11 mm, offers a particularly narrow design for radial loads whilst ensuring high running accuracy.

The 16013 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row, open-type rolling bearing from SKF that primarily accommodates radial forces as well as axial loads. Thanks to its compact cross-sectional width of 11 mm, combined with a 65 mm bore and an outer diameter of 100 mm, this design is particularly suitable for applications with limited axial installation space. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel and fitted with a robust sheet steel cage, this model is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +120 degrees.

In which designs is the narrow deep-groove ball bearing 16013 used?

Design engineers primarily use the 16013 deep groove ball bearing where housing dimensions require a narrow installation width, but a stable shaft diameter of 65 mm is required. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering, in gearboxes and in industrial drives with cylindrical shaft seats. As the outer ring has neither a flange nor a groove, the bearing can be easily fitted into cylindrical housing bores. The combination of standard radial bearing clearance and a single-row design ensures low-vibration operation.

What is the significance of tolerance class P6 and the open design?

Tolerance class P6 denotes tighter dimensional and running tolerances compared to standard tolerances. This classification corresponds to ABEC 3 and is recommended for applications with high demands on guidance accuracy. As this is an open bearing without integrated sealing washers, lubricant from an oil circuit reaches the rolling elements and raceways unhindered. At the same time, the design requires a clean installation environment or housing seals to prevent the ingress of contaminants.
