16003-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 16003-2Z is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-performance applications requiring reliable operation and long service life. Its core advantages stem from its shielded design (2Z), which provides effective protection against contaminant ingress while retaining the factory-fitted grease lubrication. This combination makes it a low-maintenance and durable solution, capable of handling significant radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Manufactured to a P6 tolerance class, it offers high running accuracy, making it suitable for precision mechanisms and high-speed operation up to its limiting speed.
16003-2Z Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 16003 | Basic bearing designation indicating a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 17mm bore, 35mm OD, and 8mm width. | Defines the standard bearing dimensions and type. |
| 2Z | Designates non-contact shields on both sides of the bearing. | Offers effective contamination protection, extending bearing life and enabling maintenance-free operation in many environments. |
16003-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Internal Geometry & Single Row Design: The deep groove raceways and precision-ground components enable smooth operation and the accommodation of radial loads and bidirectional axial loads.
- Shielded Protection (2Z): The steel shields protect the internal components from dust and other particulates without significantly increasing friction, contributing to a high limiting speed of 22,000 rpm.
- Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured to P6 tolerance class with a standard CN radial internal clearance, this bearing provides high running accuracy and consistent performance, which is critical for high-speed applications.
- Durable Material Construction: The use of chrome steel for rings and balls, combined with a stainless steel cage, ensures high strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.
- Pre-lubricated & Ready-to-Use: Filled with high-quality grease, the bearing is lubricated for life under normal operating conditions within its specified temperature range of -30°C to 120°C.
