Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 16016

The SKF 16016 deep groove ball bearing, with compact dimensions of 80 × 125 × 14 mm, is an open rolling bearing designed for demanding radial loads.

The SKF 16016 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing with a particularly narrow cross-section. It primarily accommodates radial forces and also supports moderate axial forces in both directions. As it has no integrated seals, this open bearing is characterised by smooth running. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel, the raceways and rolling elements offer high dimensional stability during continuous industrial operation.

In which applications does the 16016 deep-groove ball bearing prove its worth?

Design engineers tend to choose the 16016 deep-groove ball bearing in situations where axial space is limited, as its width of 14 mm is comparatively small for an 80-mm shaft. Typical applications include general mechanical engineering, gearboxes and powertrains where an external housing seal is fitted. The bearing is suitable for oil- or grease-lubricated recirculating systems in which the lubricant must reach the rolling elements unimpeded in order to dissipate frictional heat efficiently.

What distinguishes the version with P6 dimensional accuracy?

This bearing features enhanced dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 with standard running accuracy PN. This allows for tighter fits on the shaft and in the housing, which has a positive effect on the concentricity of the entire bearing assembly. The standard radial bearing clearance helps to ensure that the bearing clearance remains within the specified range at typical operating temperatures between –20 and +120 degrees. A guided sheet steel cage keeps the balls at a uniform distance apart and ensures smooth guidance.
