Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16044

The FAG 16044 deep-groove ball bearing is an open, single-row radial bearing measuring 220 × 340 × 37 mm, designed for industrial shaft assemblies.

The 16044 deep groove ball bearing primarily accommodates radial loads and also supports axial forces in both directions. This version of the FAG rolling bearing has a bore of 220 mm, an outside diameter of 340 mm and a narrow width of 37 mm. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) with raceways and balls made from the same material, the component meets the requirements of tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. It has no electrical insulation and is used in cylindrical bearing seats without a flange or groove on the outer ring.

What is the single-row deep groove ball bearing 16044 suitable for?

Design engineers primarily use this narrow design where, with large shaft diameters of 220 mm, only limited radial installation space is available. Thanks to its deep groove geometry, the bearing guides the shaft accurately and is suitable for bearing arrangements subject to combined radial and axial forces. As it is an open bearing without integrated grinding or cover discs, it can be integrated directly into lubricant circulation systems. Designs with oil lubrication or a central lubricant supply benefit from the unimpeded flow of lubricant.

What is important to bear in mind with the open design without a seal?

When installing the open bearing, care must be taken to ensure a clean installation environment so that no foreign particles enter the raceway system. In this model, protection against dust and moisture is provided by the surrounding housing structure. The bearing has a standard radial clearance, which enables smooth concentricity during operation with standard fits. A sturdy sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly in a straight line. The permissible operating temperature range is from -20 to +150 degrees.
