Deep groove ball bearing NTN 16005C3, Outer diameter: 47 mm | Width: 8 mm | Inner diameter: 25 mm

Thanks to its open design and C3 clearance, this NTN deep groove ball bearing ensures smooth running with low friction. It is ideally suited for high-speed applications and environments where efficient heat dissipation is required. The sheet steel housing provides good load-bearing capacity while also facilitating maintenance.

Features:
This deep groove ball bearing is designed with deep raceways in the inner and outer rings, allowing it to accommodate both radial and axial loads in both directions. The increased C3 clearance enhances tolerance to thermal expansion and reduces internal friction – ideal for high speeds and improved performance. As the bearing has no seals, it is readily accessible for re-lubrication and easier to maintain. The sheet steel cage offers high shock resistance and consistent load capacity, ensuring a long service life under controlled operating conditions. Its quiet operation and low rolling resistance make it the optimal choice for demanding industrial applications.

Maintenance:
Regular lubrication is crucial for the product's longevity and performance. Using a lubricant matched to the operating conditions helps minimize wear and optimize smooth running. Regular monitoring of lubricant level, noise and vibration allows anomalies to be detected early and failures to be avoided. If contaminated, the bearing should be carefully cleaned to remove particles that could impair function. Use in moist environments should be avoided where possible to minimize corrosion risks.

Sealing:
This bearing has no protection against external contaminants such as dust, particles or liquids. While the absence of seals allows optimal heat dissipation and direct access to lubrication, it does expose the bearing more to contamination. Therefore, either more frequent maintenance or use in clean, controlled environments is required.
