Ball bearing FAG 16004-A-2Z, single-row deep groove, metal shields on both sides

Double row deep groove ball bearings are suitable for applications requiring high and very high speeds while maintaining low friction and minimal running noise. These bearings are designed to preserve speed, load capacity and service life (Generation C) and include improved sealing that does not increase heat generation or limit rotational speed. They also allow particularly economical bearing arrangements when space and design envelope are constrained.

Advantages

Double row deep groove ball bearings combine greater radial and axial load capacity with compact design. They support axial loads in both directions and can accommodate tilting moments in addition to radial loads. The optimized internal design and seals provide very low friction and reduced operating noise without compromising speed or bearing life.

Key specifications

• Design: double row deep groove ball bearing
• Speed capability: high to very high
• Friction: very low running friction (Generation C)
• Noise: very low operating noise
• Sealing: enhanced seals without increased heat generation or speed limitation (Generation C)
• Load support: higher radial load capacity; supports axial loads in both directions and tilting moments
• Installation: compact radial and axial envelope for economical bearing arrangements

How to use

Select double row deep groove ball bearings when single row bearings no longer provide sufficient load capacity or when the application requires support of axial loads in both directions and/or tilting moments in addition to radial loads. Ensure correct mounting, alignment and lubrication according to the manufacturer's instructions to preserve low friction, low noise and expected service life. Verify compatibility with shaft and housing fits and confirm that the available radial and axial envelope meets the compact design requirements.

Recommendations

Consider double row deep groove ball bearings for machines and components that demand a compact, economical bearing position with high load capacity and very low noise at high speeds; consult the bearing manufacturer's datasheet for generation C specifications, clearance options and lubrication guidelines.
