What is the equivalent of a 6016-2Z bearing?

The 6016-2Z is a 80×125×22mm deep groove ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK 6016ZZ, NTN 6016ZZ, SKF 6016-2Z, Timken 6016-ZZ. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 6016-2Z bearing?

The 6016-2Z bearing has a bore diameter of 80mm, outer diameter of 125mm, and width of 22mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 47.5 kN, static load rating of 38 kN, and weighs 810g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 6,300 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG 6016-2Z with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 6016-2Z (80×125×22mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK part number as long as the seal type (ZZ) and clearance class (CN) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.
