Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16009 -C3

The 16009 -C3 deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings, with dimensions of 45x75x10 mm, offers a space-saving bearing solution with increased bearing clearance.

The 16009 -C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing of the particularly narrow 16009 design. It accommodates radial forces as well as axial forces in both directions. The open design allows for direct lubricant supply via the surrounding housing. Thanks to its sheet steel cage and rings made from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), this bearing from FAG covers an operating temperature range of -20 to +150 degrees.

What is the 16009-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Designs with limited axial installation space benefit from its narrow width of just 10 mm with a shaft diameter of 45 mm. Typical applications include general mechanical engineering, gearboxes and drive systems where a compact design is required. Thanks to its open design, the bearing is particularly suitable for enclosed systems with an existing oil or grease circulation system, which keeps out dirt particles and continuously lubricates the rolling elements.

What are the characteristics of the increased C3 bearing clearance?

The version with C3 bearing clearance has greater radial clearance than a bearing with standard clearance. This is advantageous when temperature differences occur between the inner and outer rings during operation, or when tight fits on the shaft and housing reduce the bearing clearance after installation. With tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1), the bearing meets standard industrial requirements. In the open design, an external housing seal serves to prevent the ingress of foreign particles.
