Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16030

FAG 16030 deep-groove ball bearing: A single-row rolling bearing with a 150 mm bore, 225 mm outer diameter and 24 mm width, designed for confined spaces.

The FAG 16030 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing from the narrow 160 series. Thanks to its small cross-section, this model is suitable for designs where, despite a large shaft diameter, there is limited radial installation space. Manufactured from standard rolling bearing steel 100Cr6, the unit primarily accommodates radial loads as well as axial loads in both directions.

In which installation situations does the FAG 16030 deep groove ball bearing prove its worth?

Designs with shafts of 150 mm in diameter often require space-saving bearing arrangements when the outer diameter must be limited to 225 mm. The 16030 deep groove ball bearing offers the appropriate ratio of inner diameter to wall thickness for this purpose. The absence of contact seals ensures smooth running with low torque resistance. Consequently, the design operates with low friction in enclosed housings where lubrication is supplied directly via oil or grease.

What is important when using the open design?

As an open rolling bearing, this design has no integrated seals. The surrounding housing must effectively protect the bearing location from dust, dirt particles and moisture. Depending on the operating conditions, a suitable rolling bearing oil or grease is used for lubrication. Fitted with a sheet steel cage and standard radial bearing clearance, the component is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees. An outer ring without a flange or groove also facilitates axial alignment in the cylindrical housing seat.
