Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16007 -C3

The 16007 -C3 deep groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager features compact dimensions of 35x62x9 mm and increased C3 clearance for demanding industrial applications.

This single-row deep-groove ball bearing 16007 -C3 from FAG Wälzlager combines a slim design with precise running characteristics. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6), the robust sheet-steel cage reliably guides the rolling elements at operating temperatures between –20 and +150 degrees Celsius. The open design, without integrated sealing washers, allows for flexible integration into existing lubrication systems, for example for oil lubrication or relubrication within a sealed housing.

In which applications is the 16007-C3 deep groove ball bearing used?

Design engineers opt for this type of bearing when there is limited axial installation space available within the unit. Due to its narrow width of 9 mm and an outside diameter of 62 mm, the bearing primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces. Typical applications are found in general mechanical engineering in designs where the housing is already externally sealed and the lubricant is required to circulate unimpeded.

What distinguishes the version with C3 clearance?

The suffix C3 indicates an increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This feature is useful when temperature differences occur between the inner and outer rings during operation, or when tight fits on the 35 mm shaft reduce the operating clearance. The additional bearing clearance prevents stress build-up and maintains the smooth running of the bearing even when it heats up. The tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1) ensures precise dimensional stability.
