Deep groove ball bearing FAG 16040-M, Outer diameter: 310 mm | Width: 34 mm | Inner diameter: 200 mm

This FAG brand ball bearing features a brass cage that ensures high mechanical stability, impact resistance, and excellent radial and axial load-carrying capacity in both directions. Its open design facilitates installation and maintenance, offering a durable and high-performance solution for industrial applications.

Features:
This deep-groove ball bearing incorporates a brass cage that provides enhanced resistance to shocks and vibrations. It operates at high speeds thanks to its low internal friction and standard radial clearance, ensuring smooth movement. Suitable for clean, controlled environments, it requires regular lubrication to maintain its performance. Its robust construction allows it to handle heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads while maintaining uniform force distribution across the rolling elements.

Maintenance:
This bearing must be lubricated regularly with high-quality grease or oil, depending on operating conditions. Periodic inspection of noise levels, temperature, and vibrations is recommended to detect any signs of wear. In the event of contamination by particles or dust, thorough cleaning is necessary to prevent damage. During installation and removal, a clean environment is essential to minimize the risk of contamination.

Sealing:
This ball bearing has no seals, making it more susceptible to external contaminants, such as dust or moisture. It is best used in clean, controlled environments. The absence of seals facilitates access for maintenance and improves cooling, but requires greater attention to lubrication and cleaning to maintain performance.
