How the 16022 model number is decoded

In the 16000-series (the narrow extra-light section of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 16022 carries bore code 22 = 110 mm. Outside diameter 170 mm and width 19 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 110 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a m6 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

• Large bores like the 110 mm of 16022 demand clean, burr-free seats; one raised burr under a ring this size cocks the bearing and concentrates load at the raceway edge, cutting life drastically.
• Because the 160xx narrow section shares the 170 mm OD of the 6022 at 110 mm bore but is only 19 mm wide, a housing machined for the wider bearing needs a spacer or relocated circlip — never assume width interchangeability.
• The open 16022 has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 110×170×19 mm raceway, so specify a sealed arrangement for dusty or washdown duty.
• Storage matters for open bearings: 16022 leaves the factory with rust preventive only, so clean it and apply the service grease at assembly even if the rings look oily from the wrapper.
• Never mix components between two 16022 units: rings, cage and balls are factory-matched and are not field-interchangeable, even between identical designations.
• Suffixes stack in a defined order — clearance follows the seal code, e.g. 16022-C3. No clearance suffix means normal CN clearance.
• The open 16022 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 110 mm bore 16022 is in NTN's medium industrial range; the pressed-steel cage is standard but large-section 63xx/64xx 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.
• NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 3800 r/min for 16022; this is a large or heavy-section size where centrifugal force and cage inertia cap the speed — for higher shaft speeds either step to a smaller bearing on the same bore or consult NTN for an oil-lubricated, machined-cage variant.
• NTN rates 16022 at 63.5 kN dynamic (C) and 56.5 kN static (C0), 3.25 kN fatigue load limit Cu; this upper-medium rating covers conveyor and gearbox drives, but at these loads the pressed-steel cage can be the limiting factor under shock — consider the machined brass cage (suffix M) for impact duty.
• At 1460 g (1.5 kg), 16022 needs mechanical handling for mounting; NTN recommends induction heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) rather than pressing cold, and a lifting eye if the housing is pre-assembled.
• The 110×170×19 mm envelope of 16022 gives a D/d ratio of 1.55 and 30.0 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 63.5/56.5 kN load ratings, 3.25 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 3800 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 1460 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 16022 on the 110×170×19 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 16022 in a rated drive.
• Factory-fill grease in NTN sealed units is a general-duty lithium-soap grease; food-grade, low-temperature and high-temperature fills are request options at order time, because LLU/LLB units are not meant to be opened and re-greased in the field.
• NTN's pressed-steel cage (no cage suffix) is the quiet standard for this size; for sustained running close to the limiting speed or for heavy shock duty, ask the NTN channel whether a machined-cage execution of 16022 is listed.
