Deep groove ball bearing SKF 16018/C3, Outer diameter: 140 mm | Width: 16 mm | Inner diameter: 90 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, their ability to operate at high speeds, and their low maintenance requirements.

This deep groove ball bearing is capable of withstanding radial and axial loads in both directions. Thanks to its open design, this product allows for easy access for maintenance and promotes optimal heat dissipation.

Features:
This single-row deep groove ball bearing is designed with a sheet steel cage. With a C3-type internal radial clearance, it is specifically designed to withstand high rotational speeds while reducing internal friction. This model is open, meaning it has no sealing system. Its ability to handle heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads makes it a preferred choice for many applications.

Maintenance:
Maintenance of this bearing is essential to ensure optimal performance. It requires regular lubrication, whether with grease or oil, depending on operating conditions. Inspections should include checking for noise and temperature, as well as the condition of the balls and raceways.

Sealing:
This bearing has no seals to protect against external contaminants. This open design exposes the bearing to dust and liquids, which can lead to lubricant leakage and the ingress of contaminants. This lack of protection requires extra caution when used in potentially contaminating conditions.
