Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 16010

The SKF 16010 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 50x80x10 mm, offers a narrow design with an enhanced P6 tolerance class for compact industrial applications.

The 16010 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6) in the SKF Explorer design. With key dimensions of 50 mm bore diameter, 80 mm outer diameter and 10 mm width, it belongs to a particularly narrow series designed for confined axial installation spaces. The design primarily accommodates radial loads as well as axial guidance forces in both directions. As an open bearing without sealing rings, it operates in enclosed housings with an external lubrication supply.

What is the 16010 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in compact industrial applications?

The 16010 deep-groove ball bearing is primarily used where limited axial installation space is combined with a 50 mm diameter shaft. Typical applications include compact shaft mountings where the surrounding machine housing provides the seal and lubrication. As the bearing is designed without integrated seals, lubricating oil or grease circulates unhindered past the rolling elements and raceways. The component is designed for a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What are the advantages of tolerance class P6 for the 16010 deep groove ball bearing?

Classification in tolerance class P6 (comparable to ABEC 3) means tighter dimensional and running tolerances compared with the normal standard tolerance. This promotes smooth running and precise guidance of the rotating shaft during operation. The guided sheet steel cage maintains an even spacing between the rolling elements and withstands typical operating forces. When installing the bearing correctly, care must be taken to ensure that the bearing seats are clean and that an external housing seal is fitted to protect the interior of the bearing from contamination.
