Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16013

The FAG 16013 deep-groove ball bearing, with its compact dimensions of 65 × 100 × 11 mm, is designed primarily to accommodate radial forces in confined spaces.

The FAG 16013 deep-groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing with a 65 mm bore, an outer diameter of 100 mm and a narrow width of 11 mm. Both the rings and the rolling elements are made of standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6). Thanks to its low cross-sectional height, this bearing is suitable for designs where there is limited axial installation space. As an open bearing, it can be flexibly integrated into enclosed machine housings with a separate lubrication circuit.

What is the 16013 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers and maintenance personnel primarily use the 16013 deep groove ball bearing for radially aligned loads and to accommodate axial forces in both directions. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering, in gearbox stages or in shaft bearings with a very limited housing width. As the outer ring has neither a flange nor a groove, the bearing is fitted flush into smooth housing bores. A clean installation environment is essential for low-friction operation, as external contaminants can reach the exposed rolling elements unhindered.

What are the key features of the design with a sheet steel cage?

The integrated sheet steel cage maintains the rolling elements at a uniform distance and prevents the balls from rubbing against one another. The open design without sealing washers allows lubricating oil or grease to pass freely directly to the contact surfaces. The bearing is designed for a temperature range of -20 to +150 degrees. Together with the standard radial bearing clearance and tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1), this FAG design is suitable for standardised shaft seats and normal thermal operating conditions.
