Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 16002

The SKF 16002 deep groove ball bearing is an open, single-row rolling bearing measuring 15x32x8 mm, designed for radial and axial loads.

The SKF 16002 deep groove ball bearing combines compact dimensions with high manufacturing precision. As a single-row rolling bearing, this component primarily accommodates radial forces as well as axial loads in both directions. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel and fitted with a sheet steel cage, the Explorer version is designed for demanding industrial applications. Thanks to its open design, the bearing is particularly suitable for constructions with an external lubrication supply.

In which areas of application is the 16002 deep-groove ball bearing used?

Design engineers primarily use this ball bearing where limited installation space must be reconciled with specific accuracy requirements. With a 15 mm bore, 32 mm outer diameter and a narrow width of 8 mm, it fits into compact shaft mountings, housing designs and industrial units. The permissible temperature range is from -20 to +120 degrees Celsius. As there are no integrated seals to cause friction, the bearing runs smoothly in oil- or grease-lubricated systems in clean environments.

What do the tolerance classes P6 and P5 mean for your design?

This bearing has a dimensional accuracy of P6 and a running accuracy of P5. Both classes exceed the standard tolerance level and reduce runout error during operation. This promotes smooth, low-vibration operation at higher speeds. As this is an open design with standard radial bearing clearance, you should ensure clean installation and an external housing seal to prevent the ingress of dirt during the design phase.
