How the 16007 model number is decoded

In the 16000-series (the narrow extra-light section of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 16007 carries bore code 07 = 35 mm. Outside diameter 62 mm and width 9 mm come from the ISO 15 boundary-dimensions general plan. With no seal suffix the bearing is open: no shields or seals are fitted and lubrication is supplied by the application. For normal-load mounting with a rotating inner ring on a 35 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a k5 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude. In the Schaeffler HR 1 catalogue this open execution carries the bare designation; protected variants are ordered separately with suffixes 2Z (steel shields), 2RZ (non-contact rubber seals) and 2RSR (lip-contact rubber seals).

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• A 35 mm shaft for 16007 should be finished to Ra ≤ 1.6 µm with square seating faces; at this bore a scored or oval journal shows up directly as running noise and early raceway damage.
• The 160xx narrow section at 35 mm bore shares the 62 mm outside diameter of the 6007 but is only 9 mm wide; a 6007 in a 9 mm-wide seat is loose axially and the reverse swap will not fit — match width as well as bore and outside diameter.
• The open 16007 has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 35×62×9 mm raceway, so specify a sealed arrangement for dusty or washdown duty.
• Open bearings tolerate the highest speeds in the 16000-series but need a defined regreasing interval; run-to-failure lubrication is the dominant cause of early failure in open 16007 units.
• Never mix components between two 16007 units: rings, cage and balls are factory-matched and are not field-interchangeable, even between identical designations.
• Shaft and housing fillets must clear the bearing chamfer so the 9 mm-wide ring seats square; provide an undercut or withdrawal groove instead of relying on an oversized radius.
• The open 16007 has no integral sealing; in the Schaeffler HR 1 catalogue the protected variants carry suffixes 2Z (two steel shields), 2RZ (two non-contact rubber seals) and 2RSR (two lip-contact rubber seals). Do not confuse FAG's 2RZ with a contact seal — the RZ lip does not touch the inner ring, which is why its speed capability stays close to the open bearing.
• FAG rates 16007 at 16700 r/min mechanical limiting speed (thermal reference speed 8900 r/min) — electric-motor territory; prefer the open or 2Z execution (sealed 2RSR variants lose roughly a third of the thermal speed) and confirm grease life at the reference speed for continuous running.
• The 35 mm bore puts 16007 in Schaeffler's general-purpose industrial range; the standard cage and CN clearance cover most electric-motor and pump duty, and FAG's X-life generation of these sizes carries higher ratings than legacy HR 1 printings — check the current eKatalog listing before reordering.
• FAG rates 16007 at 12.26 kN dynamic (C) and 8.8 kN static (C0); this light-to-medium rating suits fractional-horsepower drives and instruments — verify the equivalent dynamic load stays well below C for conveying or gearbox duty with shock.
• At 107 g, 16007 is light enough for hand assembly but should be pressed on with a fitting sleeve against the inner ring; do not strike the outer ring or cage with a hammer.
• The 35×62×9 mm envelope of 16007 gives a D/d ratio of 1.77 and 13.5 mm radial section height — a standard FAG medium section balancing load capacity and speed; the standard cage is adequate up to the listed speeds and C3 clearance is the common hot-shaft choice.
• The 12.26/8.8 kN load ratings, mass 107 g here are Schaeffler HR 1 Rolling Bearings (Jan 2020) catalogue figures for 16007 on the 35×62×9 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 16007 in a rated drive. Where FAG has since released an X-life version of this size, its expanded C/C0 ratings supersede the HR 1 print values quoted here.
• FAG sealed units arrive greased for life with a lithium-soap fill; Schaeffler quotes a shelf life for greased bearings and recommends running stock first-in-first-out rather than re-greasing aged sealed units.
• Schaeffler has moved many HR 1 sizes to the X-life generation with higher C/C0 ratings; the designation is unchanged, so a current eKatalog listing for 16007 may quote higher values than the HR 1 print figures on this page — the envelope is identical either way.
