Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16013 -C3

The FAG 16013 -C3 deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 65x100x11 mm, offers a narrow design for radial loads at elevated operating temperatures.

The 16013 -C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing with a cylindrical bore. This model is manufactured by FAG and is characterised by the narrow cross-section of the standardised 160 series. With an inside diameter of 65 mm, an outside diameter of 100 mm and a narrow width of 11 mm, the component requires little axial installation space. The bearing primarily accommodates radial forces as well as moderate axial forces in both directions.

What are the industrial applications of the 16013-C3 deep groove ball bearing?

Designs with limited installation space require narrow radial bearings with a high load-carrying capacity. The 16013 -C3 deep groove ball bearing is primarily used where a compact housing geometry is required and installation space is limited. Due to its open design without integrated sealing washers, this rolling bearing is suitable for enclosed systems in which a lubrication circuit ensures a continuous supply of lubricant. It is manufactured to the standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

What is the function of the increased C3 bearing clearance during assembly?

The suffix C3 indicates a radial bearing clearance that is greater than the standard. This increased clearance between the rolling elements and the raceways compensates for thermal expansion at high operating temperatures during operation. Furthermore, the C3 design compensates for any reduction in bearing clearance caused by tight fits on the shaft or in the housing. The permissible temperature range is from –20 to +150 degrees Celsius, with the bearings guided by a sheet steel cage.
