Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16015

Open roller bearings have neither cover plates nor sealing rings. As a result, they generate very low friction torque and allow for high operating speeds. However, they require a clean installation environment and external lubrication, for example via a sealed oil bath or a sealed bearing housing.

The component is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +150 degrees. Both the raceways and the rolling elements, made from standard 100Cr6 roller bearing steel, as well as the robust sheet steel cage, retain their mechanical properties within this temperature range.

P0 is the standard tolerance class according to DIN or ISO for rolling bearings, comparable to the designation ABEC 1. It defines the permissible deviations in terms of dimensional, geometric and running accuracy. For most standardised applications in industrial mechanical engineering, this level of accuracy provides a reliable fit.

The standard radial bearing clearance refers to the design clearance between the outer ring, inner ring and balls when the bearing is unloaded and in its assembled state. It is dimensioned such that, once the bearing has been pressed onto the shaft and fitted into the housing, it achieves a clearance-free, low-friction concentricity.

Single-row deep-groove ball bearings primarily absorb radial forces perpendicular to the shaft axis. Owing to their deep raceways, they can also support low to medium axial forces in both longitudinal directions, provided that these loads do not exceed the load-carrying capacity of the slender ring.
