Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16020

The FAG 16020 deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 100 × 150 × 16 mm, offers a slim design for radial loads in industrial machinery.

The 16020 deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings is a single-row bearing suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. The dimensions are 100 mm inner diameter, 150 mm outer diameter and a space-saving width of 16 mm. The rings and rolling elements are made from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel. A guided sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements at operating temperatures ranging from –20 to +150 degrees. The bearing is manufactured to the standard tolerance P0/PN or ABEC 1.

In which applications is the 16020 deep groove ball bearing used?

This rolling bearing is primarily suitable for designs where a narrow radial installation space is required for a large shaft diameter of 100 mm. Thanks to its slim width of 16 mm, the bearing primarily accommodates radial forces as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Design engineers make targeted use of the standardised dimensions for bearing locations with limited axial installation space, as well as for direct replacement in cylindrical housing seats.

What operating conditions does the 16020 open deep-groove ball bearing require?

As an open bearing, this design has no integrated seals. This means that lubrication must be supplied from the housing environment, for example via an oil bath or external relubrication. At the same time, external seals should protect the bearing from dirt and moisture. The standard radial bearing clearance ensures smooth running under conventional fit conditions. Thanks to the flangeless cylindrical outer ring, the component can be fitted directly into cylindrical housing bores.
