Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16052

The 16052 deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager is a single-row, open heavy-duty bearing measuring 260 × 400 × 44 mm, providing a robust guidance system for heavy-duty industrial applications.

The single-row deep-groove ball bearing 16052 primarily absorbs radial forces and also supports axial loads in both directions. Thanks to its cylindrical outer ring without a groove or flange, this rolling bearing can be fitted precisely into flat housing bores. As an open variant, the component is designed for applications where lubricants are supplied via the installation environment. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6, the rings and rolling elements offer high dimensional stability during operation.

What is the 16052 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is typically used in heavily loaded large-scale bearing arrangements in mechanical engineering and plant construction. With a bore of 260 mm, it is particularly suitable for large-diameter shafts. The design is suitable for operating conditions where an internal lubrication system is provided. The absence of integrated seals means there are no additional friction losses, which helps to maintain the efficiency of the drive train.

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

The built-in sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements in an orderly manner and keeps the bearing’s own weight low in relation to its size. At the same time, the open design allows the lubricant to circulate unhindered. This makes it easy to replace the lubricant at maintenance intervals or to filter it via centralised circulation systems. The standard radial bearing clearance ensures that, once the bearing has been correctly pressed onto the shaft with the appropriate operating clearance, it will run correctly provided there are no unusual temperature differences between the inner and outer rings.
