6216 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6216 single row deep groove ball bearing is a fundamental precision bearing solution designed for reliable performance in a wide range of industrial applications. Engineered to primarily support radial loads, its robust construction ensures high operational reliability. Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance standards, this bearing offers excellent value and consistent performance, making it a versatile choice for general machinery where high-precision grades are not required. Its open design allows for flexible lubrication strategies to suit specific operational environments.
6216 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Element | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6216 | Standard model number denoting a single row deep groove ball bearing with an 80mm bore, 140mm OD, and 26mm width. |
| Open (Seal Type) | No integral seals or shields. This allows for higher limiting speeds and permits the use of various lubrication methods, but requires a clean operating environment or external sealing. |
| CN (Clearance) | Specifies normal radial internal clearance as per ISO standards, suitable for most common operating conditions. |
| ABEC-1 | Defines the tolerance class for dimensional accuracy and running precision, indicating a standard commercial grade. |
6216 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 16,344 lbf and a static load rating of 11,915 lbf, the 6216 is built to handle significant radial forces in demanding applications.
- Optimized Material Selection: The combination of chrome steel rings and balls with a stainless steel cage provides excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and stable operation across its specified temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
- Balanced High-Speed Performance: The open design and stainless steel cage contribute to a limiting speed of 4,500 rpm, making it suitable for various motor and drive applications.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured with strict dimensional tolerances on the bore diameter, outside diameter, and width, ensuring reliable fit and performance in assembled machinery.
