Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16002

The FAG 16002 deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 15 × 32 × 8 mm, offers a compact design for radial loads in protected mounting spaces.

The 16002 deep-groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing in the standard tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1. The open bearing has a bore of 15 mm, an outer diameter of 32 mm and a narrow width of 8 mm. Manufactured from solid standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6, the integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements smoothly along the raceway. The design is suitable for a temperature range of -20 to +150 degrees and primarily accommodates radial and moderate axial loads.

What is the FAG 16002 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This single-row radial ball bearing is primarily used where compact installation widths are required and an external housing seal or oil lubrication is already in place. Typical applications include compact assemblies, drive units and equipment in general mechanical engineering. Thanks to its open design, lubricant reaches the raceways directly. At the same time, the narrow cross-sectional width of 8 mm enables space-saving designs on 15 mm shafts.

What is important to consider with an open bearing without a seal?

As the 16002 deep-groove ball bearing has no integrated sealing washers, the bearing location requires protection against dirt and moisture via the surrounding structure. When designing the assembly, incorporate appropriate housing seals or shaft seals. Depending on the speed and operating conditions, lubrication is provided by grease or oil, which is applied directly to the rolling elements and raceways. Designed with a standard radial bearing clearance, this rolling bearing is suitable for standard fits under normal operating conditions.
