Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 16020

The SKF 16020 single-row deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 100 × 150 × 16 mm, offers a narrow design for radial loads in compact installations.

The 16020 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6) in the SKF Explorer design. With a bore of 100 mm, an outside diameter of 150 mm and a narrow width of 16 mm, this design enables space-optimised constructions. The bearing accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial loads in both directions. As it is an open design without integrated sealing rings, it can be flexibly lubricated via the surrounding system.

In which installation scenarios is the 16020 deep groove ball bearing used?

Design engineers and maintenance personnel primarily choose the 16020 deep-groove ball bearing when there is limited radial and axial installation space available on a shaft with a 100 mm diameter. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering as well as in gearbox applications with a central lubrication supply. As the outer ring has no groove or flange, the rolling bearing fits smoothly into cylindrical housing bores and supports smooth rotational movement.

What are the key features of P6 dimensional accuracy and the open design?

The tolerance class combines enhanced dimensional accuracy to P6 with standard running accuracy PN, which ensures a precise fit on the shaft. With standard radial bearing clearance and a sheet steel cage, the component is designed for operating temperatures ranging from –20 to +120 degrees. As there are no integrated seals, the bearing location must be structurally protected against the ingress of contaminants.
