Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6016-Z/C4M, Outer diameter: 125 mm | Width: 22 mm | Inner diameter: 80 mm

Ball bearings are essential mechanical components that reduce friction and support various loads in a wide range of industrial applications. Among them, deep groove ball bearings stand out for their versatility, ability to operate at high speeds, and low maintenance requirements.

This SKF rigid ball bearing is designed to withstand radial and axial loads in both directions, offering great versatility. Easy to install and equipped with a sheet steel cage, it is ideally suited for applications requiring both durability and high speed. This bearing is optimized to minimize friction, ensuring smooth rotation and reduced operating temperatures even in demanding environments.

Features:
This deep-groove ball bearing features a single-row design with a shock- and vibration-resistant sheet steel cage. The C4M specification ensures that the bearing’s internal radial clearance falls precisely within the central two-quarters of the C4 range, thereby avoiding the extreme values of this range. This provides greater precision in radial clearance positioning and limits variability, while retaining the benefits of high clearance. An integrated metal shield provides moderate protection against contaminants, thereby extending the bearing’s service life without any loss due to friction. Suitable for high radial loads and moderate axial loads, this bearing is distinguished by its durability and ability to withstand load variations.

Maintenance:
Designed for low-maintenance operation, this bearing features protection against contaminants. Periodic inspections are recommended to monitor noise, temperature, lubrication, and vibration levels.

Sealing:
Equipped with a metal deflector, this bearing provides a barrier against medium- and large-sized particles. The deflector, inserted into the outer ring, creates a narrow gap with the inner ring, thereby limiting the ingress of large debris. Although it does not generate friction, the metal deflector slightly amplifies mechanical noise while providing some protection against external contamination.

Brand Information:
SKF, founded in 1907 in Sweden, is a global leader in the manufacture of bearings and advanced mechanical solutions. The company operates in more than 130 countries and supplies products to a wide range of industries, from automotive to aerospace.

Key Features:
• Design optimized for very high speeds and low friction.
• Increased resistance to radial and axial loads for extended service life.
• Robust steel cage providing excellent stability under varying loads.
• Effective protection against contaminants thanks to the metal shield.
• Minimal maintenance required, ensuring continuous performance.

Applications:
This deep-groove ball bearing is ideal for electric motors, pumps, fans, and machine tools operating at high speeds. Thanks to its increased clearance, it accommodates thermal expansion, making it an optimal choice for environments where heat is a critical factor. It thus ensures smooth rotation and a long service life, even under heavy-duty operating conditions.
