How the 16016 model number is decoded

16016 is supplied open, without shields or seals, so the arrangement around it must supply and retain the lubricant. Within the narrow 160xx section of the ISO 15 general plan, multiplying bore code 16 by five gives the 80 mm bore; the 125 mm outside diameter and 14 mm width follow the same boundary-dimension plan. For a rotating inner ring on a 80 mm shaft under normal load, catalogue practice seats it on a k5 shaft fit with an H7 housing bore — confirm against the actual load direction and magnitude before committing. 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

• Mount this 80 mm bore bearing by heating the inner ring (induction heater, max 120 °C) — never drive it home through the outer ring or balls, that brinells the raceways.
• The 160xx narrow section at 80 mm bore shares the 125 mm outside diameter of the 6016 but is only 14 mm wide; a 6016 in a 14 mm-wide seat is loose axially and the reverse swap will not fit — match width as well as bore and outside diameter.
• The open 16016 has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 80×125×14 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 16016 units.
• Shaft and housing fillets must clear the bearing chamfer so the 14 mm-wide ring seats square; provide an undercut or withdrawal groove instead of relying on an oversized radius.
• Suffixes stack in a defined order — clearance follows the seal code, e.g. 16016-C3. No clearance suffix means normal CN clearance.
• The open 16016 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 80 mm bore 16016 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 5300 r/min the grease limiting speed for 16016 covers medium-duty industrial drives; the open or shielded execution can run continuously at this speed with standard lithium-soap grease.
• At 28.1 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 25.1 kN static (C0), 1.64 kN fatigue load limit Cu, 16016 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 597 g, 16016 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 80×125×14 mm envelope of 16016 gives a D/d ratio of 1.56 and 22.5 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 28.1/25.1 kN load ratings, 1.64 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 5300 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 597 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 16016 on the 80×125×14 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 16016 in a rated drive.
• NTN date-codes its packaging; rotate stock first-in-first-out, because the grease inside sealed units ages on the shelf — after three to five years of storage, check the grease condition before putting the bearing into service.
• Order the C3 internal-clearance version (16016 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.
