Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16010

The FAG 16010 single-row deep-groove ball bearing, with its compact dimensions of 50 × 80 × 10 mm, offers a particularly narrow design for radial loads.

The 16010 deep-groove ball bearing is an open rolling bearing from the narrow 160 series, manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6). It has a bore of 50 mm, an outside diameter of 80 mm and a width of just 10 mm. The inner ring, outer ring and rolling elements are made from standard bearing steel. A sturdy sheet-steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly along the raceway. This FAG bearing is suitable for designs requiring a small radial installation space for a given shaft diameter.

What is the 16010 narrow deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers primarily use this 16010 deep groove ball bearing where the installation space in the axial direction is severely limited. Thanks to its narrow width of 10 mm, the bearing saves valuable space and reduces the weight of rotating assemblies. The single-row design primarily absorbs radial forces and supports shafts even under light axial forces. Typical applications include compact bearing arrangements in general mechanical engineering, where the bearing is integrated into a protected housing.

What are the requirements for the open design without a seal?

As this model has no integrated cover or sealing washers, lubricants have unhindered access to the raceways. They connect the bearing directly to an existing oil circulation lubrication system or external grease filling. At the same time, the open design requires a clean installation environment to prevent foreign particles or moisture from entering the raceways. The permissible temperature range is from -30 to +120 degrees. The standard radial bearing clearance ensures uniform concentricity to tolerance class P0 at normal operating temperatures and with standard fits.
