Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16002 -C3
The FAG 16002 -C3 deep-groove ball bearing combines space-saving dimensions of 15 × 32 × 8 mm with increased bearing clearance to allow for thermal expansion.
The 16002 -C3 deep groove ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings is a single-row radial ball bearing in an open design without sealing washers. With its compact dimensions – an inner diameter of 15 mm, an outer diameter of 32 mm and a width of 8 mm – this rolling bearing primarily accommodates radial loads. The open design allows for direct lubrication via an oil- or grease-fed housing. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements, made of bearing steel (100Cr6), evenly through the continuous raceways.
What are the advantages of the 16002-C3 deep-groove ball bearing design?
This roller bearing is particularly suitable for compact shaft designs where a protected housing environment is present. As no seals are integrated into the bearing itself, external housing seals protect the bearing housing against contamination. The narrow design of the 160 series requires little radial or axial installation space. Furthermore, the open design allows unimpeded circulation of the lubricant, which contributes to continuous heat dissipation during operation.
What distinguishes the C3 bearing clearance in this bearing?
The C3 classification denotes a slightly increased radial bearing clearance when the bearing is unloaded. This variant is suitable for designs where temperature differences occur between the shaft and housing, or where tight fits restrict the bearing clearance during operation. Thanks to the increased clearance, smooth running is maintained even when the bearing heats up. The bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +150 degrees Celsius and compensates for thermally induced material expansion.
What are the dimensions of the 16002-C3 deep-groove ball bearing?
With a bore of 15 mm, an outside diameter of 32 mm and a width of 8 mm, this roller bearing requires little radial installation space. The narrow geometry of the 160 series makes installation in confined spaces easier. Both the inner and outer rings are cylindrical in design and do not require a flange or retaining groove.
What does the designation ‘C3’ mean in relation to this roller bearing?
The designation C3 indicates increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard bearing design. In their initial state, the rolling elements have greater radial clearance between the raceways. This compensates for temperature-induced expansion of the shaft or dimensional changes caused by interference fits, without the bearing operating under constraint during normal operation.
Why is the bearing designed to be open and without a seal?
Open roller bearings have neither cover plates nor sealing lips that come into contact with the bearing. They are used in applications where the surrounding housing provides the seal, or where the bearing is directly bathed in lubricating oil. The absence of sealing elements reduces friction and allows for the unimpeded exchange of lubricants within the operating system.
What is the operating temperature range for the bearing?
The permissible temperature range for this bearing is from -20 to +150 degrees Celsius. The 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel used, as well as the sheet steel cage, are designed to maintain dimensional stability within this range. When designing the bearing, ensure that the selected lubricant is also approved for the prevailing temperature at the bearing location.
What is the tolerance class of this deep-groove ball bearing?
The bearing complies with tolerance class P0 or PN, which is equivalent to the ABEC 1 standard. This refers to the standardised normal tolerance for industrial roller bearings. It provides sufficient running accuracy for conventional shaft and housing seats in mechanical engineering and equipment manufacturing, without imposing any additional special requirements on the manufacturing environment.
What material are the rings and balls made of?
Both the raceways and the rolling elements are made from standard roller bearing steel of grade 100Cr6. This chrome steel offers resistance to wear under radial compressive forces. A dimensionally stable cage made from pressed sheet steel ensures that the balls are evenly distributed within the bearing.
