6216-2RS1/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6216-2RS1/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding industrial applications. This sealed bearing excels at handling primarily radial loads while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. Its key advantages include robust construction with chrome steel components, a generous C3 radial internal clearance for thermal expansion management, and integrated rubber seals (2RS1) for effective contamination protection. This combination makes it a versatile and durable solution for applications requiring consistent operation and extended service life.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6216 | Basic series designation for a medium-duty, single row deep groove ball bearing with an 80mm bore and 140mm outside diameter. |
| 2RS1 | Contact rubber seals on both sides. This provides superior protection against dust and moisture ingress compared to non-contact shields. |
| C3 | Radial internal clearance greater than Normal (C0). This is ideal for applications with expected thermal expansion, such as in electric motors, ensuring optimal performance under operating temperatures. |
6216-2RS1/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Load Capacity: Manufactured entirely from chrome steel (rings, balls, and cage), this bearing offers high strength and durability. With a dynamic load rating of 16,344 lbf and a static load rating of 11,915 lbf, it is engineered to handle significant radial loads reliably.
- Effective Sealing: The double-sided RS1 contact seals effectively shield the internal components from contaminants like dust and moisture, significantly extending the bearing's operational life and reducing maintenance needs in harsh environments.
- Optimized Internal Clearance: The C3 clearance provides extra space between the rolling elements and raceways. This is critical for applications where shaft and housing fits are tight or where operational heat causes expansion, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload.
- Standard Precision: Conforming to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, it delivers consistent and reliable performance for a wide range of general industrial applications.
