How the 16014 model number is decoded

In the 16000-series (the narrow extra-light section of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 16014 carries bore code 14 = 70 mm. Outside diameter 110 mm and width 13 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 70 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 NTN catalogue this open execution carries the bare designation; protected variants are ordered separately with suffixes ZZ (shields), LLB/LLF (non-contact seals), LLH (low-torque contact seal) and LLU (contact seal).

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Interference on a 70 mm shaft plus running heat consumes radial clearance: where the shaft runs hot or the fit is tight, order 16014 with C3 clearance and re-check the residual value after mounting.
• Because the 160xx narrow section shares the 110 mm OD of the 6014 at 70 mm bore but is only 13 mm wide, a housing machined for the wider bearing needs a spacer or relocated circlip — never assume width interchangeability.
• The open 16014 has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 70×110×13 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 16014 units.
• Vibration during standstill brinells the raceways of a 70 mm bearing at ball spacing; if the machine sits idle next to running equipment, turn the shaft over periodically or isolate the arrangement.
• Never mix components between two 16014 units: rings, cage and balls are factory-matched and are not field-interchangeable, even between identical designations.
• The open 16014 has no integral sealing; in the NTN 2203 catalogue the protected variants carry suffixes ZZ (non-contact steel shields), LLB/LLF (non-contact rubber seals), LLU (contact rubber seals) and LLH (a low-torque contact seal with higher speed capability than LLU). A JR or JRX suffix (printed for some thin-section sizes) denotes a pressed-steel cage, not a seal.
• At 70 mm bore 16014 is in NTN's upper general-purpose range; the pressed-steel cage is standard but mid-section 63xx sizes at this bore can be ordered with a machined brass cage (suffix M) for heavy-shock or very-low-speed duty — confirm cage material with the NTN channel if the application sees impact loads.
• At 6100 r/min the grease limiting speed for 16014 covers medium-duty industrial drives; the open or shielded execution can run continuously at this speed with standard lithium-soap grease.
• At 27 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 22.6 kN static (C0), 1.52 kN fatigue load limit Cu, 16014 is a medium-load bearing suitable for most electric-motor and pump duty; the C0/C0r ratio matters for preloaded or thrust-loaded arrangements, so confirm the static safety factor with the NTN catalogue.
• At 441 g, 16014 requires a soft-jaw vise or arbor press for mounting — never hammer it onto the shaft, and support the opposite ring to avoid brinelling the raceways.
• The 70×110×13 mm envelope of 16014 gives a D/d ratio of 1.57 and 20.0 mm radial section height — this thin section saves space but is sensitive to misalignment and shock; confirm the housing stays round within IT7 and the shaft does not deflect past the raceway contact angle under load.
• The 27/22.6 kN load ratings, 1.52 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 6100 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 441 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 16014 on the 70×110×13 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 16014 in a rated drive.
• Two NTN bearings of the same designation from different production lots can carry minor internal-geometry revisions; for paired or preloaded arrangements on one shaft, order a single lot through the NTN distributor.
• Order the C3 internal-clearance version (16014 with C3 after the seal code) when the shaft fit is tight or the shaft-to-housing temperature gradient exceeds roughly 10 °C — the residual clearance after mounting, not the catalogue CN figure, decides service life.
