6916 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6916 metric ball bearing is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for reliable performance in a wide range of industrial applications. As a fundamental component for supporting radial loads, it features a simple yet robust design with an open configuration, requiring external lubrication. Manufactured to ABEC-1 precision tolerances, this bearing offers a cost-effective solution where high-speed capability and consistent operation are essential. Its construction from high-grade chrome steel ensures durability and a long service life under standard operating conditions.
6916 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 69 | Series designation, indicating a deep groove ball bearing with specific dimensional proportions. |
| 16 | Bore diameter code. For the 69 series, this corresponds to a bore diameter of 80 mm. |
| (No Suffix) | Indicates a standard, open bearing without seals or shields. Lubrication is required from an external source. |
6916 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Load Capacity: The single row deep groove raceway is precision-ground to efficiently handle the specified radial dynamic load rating of 5580 lbf and radial static load rating of 5378 lbf.
- High-Speed Performance: The combination of a low-friction stainless steel cage and precision manufacturing enables a limiting speed of 6,700 rpm, making it suitable for a variety of high-speed applications.
- Precision & Stability: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class with tight bore, OD, and width tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and ease of installation. The standard C0 radial internal clearance (0.01mm to 0.03mm) provides reliable operation under normal conditions and fits.
- Durable Construction: Rings and balls made from chrome steel provide high hardness and resistance to wear, supporting the bearing's long service life.
