R16-2RS Ball Bearing

The R16-2RS Ball Bearing is an imperial deep groove ball bearing engineered for industrial and mechanical applications requiring strong load support, smooth rotation, and dependable sealing in continuous-duty rotating systems.

Equipped with double rubber seals (2RS), this bearing helps retain internal lubrication while reducing exposure to dust and moderate moisture. Manufactured from chrome steel and designed for reliable high-speed operation, the bearing is widely used in motors, industrial equipment, power tools, and mechanical transmission systems.

Applications for the R16-2RS

The R16-2RS is widely used in industrial systems and rotating mechanical equipment requiring continuous operation and dependable stability, including:

• Electric motors
• Industrial tools
• HVAC equipment
• Pumps and fans
• Automated machinery
• Conveyor systems
• Agricultural equipment
• Imperial-size industrial applications

R series bearings are commonly used in North American equipment and inch-based mechanical systems.

Features of the R16-2RS Ball Bearing
