Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 16009

The SKF 16009 deep groove ball bearing, with a 45 mm bore and a narrow design, offers precise concentricity for industrial applications subject to radial loads.

This single-row deep groove ball bearing 16009 belongs to the narrow 160 series and combines an outer diameter of 75 mm with a narrow width of 10 mm and a bore of 45 mm. The outer ring is cylindrical, without a flange or groove. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel in the SKF Explorer grade, it ensures even load distribution during operation. As an open rolling bearing without integrated seals, the design is intended for use in externally lubricated housings.

What is the 16009 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

The 16009 deep groove ball bearing is used where radial installation space is available but the axial installation width must be kept narrow. The bearing primarily supports radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Typical applications include compact shaft mountings in general mechanical engineering. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly between the raceways and is designed for an operating temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What characterises tolerance class P6 and the open design?

The model is manufactured to tolerance class P6, which corresponds to the ABEC 3 specification. This defines tighter tolerances for dimensional and running accuracy compared with standard tolerances, which supports precise shaft guidance. With standard radial bearing clearance, the bearing is suitable for common fit conditions. As the bearing is of open design, lubricant from the surrounding structure reaches the rolling elements unimpeded. It is therefore essential to provide a structural housing seal to prevent the ingress of contaminants and moisture.
