Deep groove ball bearing FAG 16048-MA, Outer diameter: 360 mm | Width: 37 mm | Inner diameter: 240 mm

This FAG ball bearing features a brass cage guided on the outer ring, which ensures better load distribution and reduces wear on the rolling elements. It also provides 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 is equipped with a brass cage, enhancing its ability to absorb shocks and vibrations. Its guidance on the outer ring ensures precise alignment and contributes to better resistance to dynamic loads. Thanks to low internal friction and standard radial clearance, this bearing ensures smooth movement even at high speeds. It can withstand high radial loads as well as moderate axial loads, while ensuring even distribution of forces across the rolling elements.

Maintenance:
This bearing requires regular lubrication with grease or oil suitable for the operating conditions. It is also recommended to regularly monitor noise levels, temperature, and vibrations to identify any signs of wear. If particles or dust are present, thorough cleaning is essential to prevent damage. A clean environment during installation and removal is crucial to minimize the risk of contamination.

Sealing:
Since it has no seals, this ball bearing is more susceptible to external contaminants such as dust or moisture. It is therefore recommended for use in clean, controlled environments. The absence of seals simplifies maintenance and optimizes cooling, but requires special attention to lubrication and cleaning to maintain performance.

Brand Information:
FAG is a renowned brand in the bearing industry, recognized for its quality and reliability. With decades of industry experience, FAG is committed to providing high-performance products that meet the most stringent standards.
