Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 16002 -2Z

The SKF 16002 -2Z deep groove ball bearing (15x32x8 mm) features sheet metal shields on both sides, a steel cage and enhanced precision for compact industrial applications.

The SKF 16002 -2Z single-row deep groove ball bearing serves as a compact component for withstanding radial and moderate axial loads. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel in the SKF Explorer design, this variant features a bore of 15 mm, an outside diameter of 32 mm and a narrow width of 8 mm. Thanks to its standard radial clearance, the bearing is suitable for precisely guided shafts in mechanical engineering and equipment manufacturing, where reliable running characteristics are required.

In which installation spaces and applications is the 16002 -2Z deep groove ball bearing used?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians primarily use the 16002 -2Z deep groove ball bearing in compact installation spaces, drives and precision mechanical devices. Thanks to its slim design, the bearing fits into spaces with limited radial clearance. The cover plates on both sides keep out coarse particles and protect the interior of the bearing. The permissible temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees allows it to be used under typical industrial environmental conditions.

What are the advantages of the P6/P5 tolerance class and the 2Z cover plates?

This design combines dimensional accuracy to P6 with running accuracy to P5. These tighter tolerances support low-vibration concentricity at higher speeds. The metallic cover plates, designated 2Z, operate without contact, meaning that, unlike abiding seals, no additional frictional torque is generated. Before installation, it is advisable to check the cylindrical shaft seat with a diameter of 15 mm and to ensure clean assembly without the sheet steel cage becoming misaligned.
