Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6016 -2Z

The SKF 6016-2Z deep-groove ball bearing, with an 80 mm bore, sheet metal shields on both sides and P6 dimensional accuracy, provides precise support for industrial applications.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6016-2Z is a versatile rolling bearing designed to accommodate primarily radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. SKF manufactures this version in the Explorer performance class from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6. A guided sheet steel cage maintains an even spacing between the rolling elements and contributes to a harmonious load distribution. The end shields on both sides protect the bearing interior from dirt particles and help to retain the lubricant inside.

What is the 6016-2Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for in mechanical engineering?

Applications can be found throughout general mechanical and plant engineering wherever rotating shafts with a diameter of 80 mm are mounted. Thanks to its permissible temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees, the component covers common thermal operating conditions in production plants. The version without a flange or groove on the cylindrical outer ring is designed for direct installation in smooth housing bores. Design engineers primarily use this design for applications involving continuous rotational movement and moderate axial loads.

What properties do the 2Z cover plates and P6 dimensional accuracy offer?

The metallic cover discs, designated 2Z, connect to the inner ring on both sides without contact. This prevents any additional frictional heat arising from sliding contact, which facilitates high rotational speeds. The increased dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 allows for tighter tolerance ranges for the bearing seat on the shaft and housing. In combination with the standard radial bearing clearance and standard running accuracy PN, this rolling bearing is suitable for applications without unusual thermal expansion in the bearing seat.
