Deep groove ball bearing SKF 61916/W64, Outer diameter: 110 mm | Width: 16 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-brand deep groove ball bearing offers a reliable solution for supporting radial and axial loads in both directions. Designed for applications where precision and durability are crucial, it stands out for its ability to operate at high speeds with moderate friction. It is lifetime-lubricated with Solid Oil technology.

Features:
This thin, single-row ball bearing is designed with specific dimensions. It supports both radial and axial loads while offering low friction resistance, which helps improve the energy efficiency of the systems in which it is installed. The bearing’s open design allows for optimal cooling and superior efficiency, making it ideal for high-efficiency systems. Its sheet steel cage provides greater stability under varying loads and impacts. It is pre-lubricated for life with SKF’s Solid Oil lubricant, an oil-saturated polymer that fills the gaps between the rolling elements, preventing moisture or water from penetrating and oxidizing the steel.

Maintenance:
Equipped with Solid Oil grease, this deep groove ball bearing requires no additional lubrication. This technology ensures continuous and effective lubrication throughout the bearing’s service life. It is specially designed to provide long-lasting lubrication, even in environments where moisture is present. However, although relubrication is not necessary, it may be advisable to establish a maintenance schedule that includes checking the temperature, noise level, and overall condition of the balls and raceways.

Sealing:
This bearing is designed without seals, which means it is vulnerable to contaminants such as dust, smoke, and liquids other than water (acids, solvents, bases, etc.). The absence of seals allows for effective cooling and improved efficiency, but offers no barrier against external elements, limiting its use to applications in clean, controlled environments. However, Solid Oil grease protects the rolling elements from the corrosive effects of moisture or water.

Brand Information:
SKF is a global leader in the design and manufacture of bearings and lubrication systems. With over a century of expertise, SKF is synonymous with quality and innovation. Present in more than 130 countries, SKF stands out for its commitment to performance and reliability, supported by a global distribution network.

Key Features:
