Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 16024

The SKF 16024 deep-groove ball bearing with a 120 mm bore is an open rolling bearing offering a compact design for predominantly radial loads.

The 16024 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a particularly low cross-sectional height in relation to its diameter. With a bore of 120 mm and an outer diameter of 180 mm, the width is just 19 mm. This open bearing, with no flange or groove on the outer ring, is suitable for designs where the shaft and housing already feature a separate sealing system and where lubricating oil or grease is to circulate directly.

What is the 16024 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

The 16024 deep groove ball bearing primarily accommodates radial forces and moderate axial forces in both directions. Due to its narrow design, this rolling bearing is particularly suitable for use in compact housings and designs where axial installation space is limited. The open design allows for direct lubricant flow around the bearing. This enables the bearing to be effectively integrated into oil circulation systems or supplied with grease from the outside as required.

What are the distinctive features of the P6 tolerance class and this design?

In this design, the dimensional accuracy of tolerance class P6 ensures tighter manufacturing tolerances than the standard, whilst the running accuracy corresponds to the standard class PN. Combined with the standard radial bearing clearance and the guided sheet steel cage, the design ensures low-vibration operation across the temperature range from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. When fitting the bearings, designers should bear in mind that an open bearing offers no built-in protection against dirt particles and that suitable seals are required in the housing.
