16101-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 16101-2Z is a precision single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-performance applications requiring reliable operation under radial loads. Featuring shielded construction (2Z) and pre-lubricated with grease, this bearing offers excellent contamination protection and maintenance-free operation. Manufactured to P6 tolerance class with optimized internal clearance (CN), it delivers consistent performance in demanding environments while maintaining compact dimensions (12mm bore × 30mm OD × 8mm width).
16101-2Z Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Performance Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 16101 | Basic bearing designation | Defines standard dimensions: 12mm bore, 30mm OD, 8mm width |
| 2Z | Double shielded construction | Provides effective contamination protection on both sides while maintaining low torque |
16101-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Optimized Load Capacity: The single row deep groove design efficiently handles radial dynamic loads up to 1140 lbf and static loads up to 531 lbf, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
Precision Engineering: Manufactured to P6 tolerance class with CN radial internal clearance, ensuring consistent performance and smooth operation in precision mechanisms.
High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 28,000 rpm, the bearing features a stainless steel cage that provides excellent stability at high rotational speeds.
