Series 1600 Chrome Steel Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Product Overview

The Series 1600 Deep Groove Ball Bearing is a cornerstone of modern mechanical engineering. Renowned as one of the most widely used bearing types, it is celebrated for its robust construction, very low friction, and exceptional versatility. Manufactured from high-purity Chrome Steel (GCr15), precision-engineered and subjected to strict heat treatment, this series ensures long service life and high reliability in a wide range of demanding applications.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Premium Material for Outstanding Durability

   • High Carbon Chrome Steel (GCr15): Constructed from bearing-specific chrome steel, offering high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and superior anti-fatigue performance. This material effectively resists wear and pitting, significantly extending bearing life under high-speed and heavy-load conditions.

2. Precision Engineering for Smooth Operation

   • Raceways and balls are super-finished to a high surface polish, ensuring exceptionally low noise, vibration, and friction torque. This results in smoother, quieter running and can contribute to reduced energy consumption.

3. Deep Groove Design for Multi-Directional Load Capacity

   • The optimized deep groove design enables the bearing to accommodate significant radial loads and substantial axial loads in both directions. This “all-round” capability makes it an ideal, cost-effective solution for numerous applications.

4. Rigorous Heat Treatment for Dimensional Stability

   • Professionally hardened and tempered for stable internal structure, high dimensional accuracy, and strong resistance to deformation. Maintains consistent performance even with temperature variations or during continuous operation.

5. High Versatility for Wide Application

   • The Series 1600 is available in open, shielded (ZZ), or sealed (2RS) variants to meet different environmental needs. Its universal applicability is unmatched, from industrial motors and pumps to everyday appliances like washing machines and fans.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: What material is the Series 1600 bearing primarily made from?

  • A: Our Series 1600 bearings are primarily manufactured from high-purity Chrome Steel (GCr15), renowned for its high hardness and excellent wear resistance, making it the ideal choice for high-performance bearings.

• Q: Can deep groove ball bearings handle axial loads?

  • A: Yes. The deep groove ball bearing design allows it to accommodate substantial axial loads in both directions, though its primary design function is to carry radial loads. For pure axial or very heavy axial loads, thrust ball bearings are recommended.

• Q: What is the difference between ZZ and 2RS suffixes?

  • A: ZZ denotes non-contact steel shields on both sides, primarily for dust protection, allowing for higher speed limits. 2RS denotes contact rubber seals on both sides, providing better protection against dust and moisture, though with a slightly lower speed limit than ZZ.

• Q: How do I select the right 1600 series bearing for my equipment?

  • A: Bearing selection requires consideration of bore size, outside diameter, width, load type and magnitude, rotational speed, and operating environment. Please consult your equipment manual or provide the specific bearing number (e.g., 1605), and our technical team is happy to assist with selection.
