Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16028

The open deep-groove ball bearing 16028 from FAG Wälzlager, measuring 140 × 210 × 22 mm, is primarily designed to support radial loads in industrial machinery.

The 16028 deep-groove ball bearing is designed as a single-row rolling bearing for applications with large shaft diameters and a narrow design. The rings and rolling elements are made of standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), which gives the component the necessary strength during operation. The design does not include sealing washers, meaning that the lubricant is supplied directly from the outside. A sturdy sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly into the deep raceways.

What is the 16028 deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This bearing is primarily used in applications where designs require shafts with a diameter of 140 mm and a moderate axial width. Typical applications are found in mechanical engineering within enclosed assemblies with external lubrication, such as oil bath or recirculating lubrication systems. With a permissible temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees, the component is suitable for standard thermal operating conditions in industrial drives and gearboxes.

What are the key considerations for the open design and standard bearing clearance?

The open design offers no integrated protection against the ingress of dirt particles or moisture. Designs therefore require external shaft seals or housing covers to protect the raceways from contamination. The bearing has a standard radial clearance and a tolerance class of P0/PN (equivalent to ABEC 1). These tolerances meet the usual requirements in general mechanical engineering and require precisely machined bearing seats on the shaft and housing.
