Tritan 1616 Zz Prx Deep Groove Ball Bearing 0.5 in Bore

Product Description

The TRITAN 1616 ZZ PRX is a deep groove ball bearing designed for rotating shaft applications where compact size, low friction, and reliable radial load support are required. This bearing features a 0.5-inch bore diameter, a double-shield configuration that keeps contaminants out without adding significant drag, and a semi ground extra light construction suited to moderate-speed operation. With a static load capacity of 538 pounds and a maximum operating speed of 5000 RPM, it fits a range of mechanical, HVAC, and industrial drive applications. A licensed mechanic, millwright, or HVAC technician would typically handle installation in professional service environments.

This bearing is used in applications where a small-bore, light-series radial bearing is required. Typical install scenarios include small electric motors, fan shafts, pump assemblies, conveyor components, and auxiliary drive systems in residential and light commercial equipment. Its double-shield design makes it appropriate for environments with moderate dust or debris exposure. The round bore accepts standard 0.5-inch shafts without modification, simplifying drop-in replacement in existing housings.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch round bore diameter for direct fit on standard half-inch shafts
• Double-shield design reduces contaminant ingress without requiring external lubrication access
• 538-pound static load capacity supports moderate radial loads in compact assemblies
• Maximum rated speed of 5000 RPM suitable for small motor and fan shaft applications
• Semi ground extra light series keeps overall envelope dimensions minimal
• Steel housing construction provides durability in mechanical service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement deep groove ball bearing for mechanical assemblies, small electric motors, and rotating shaft applications requiring a 0.5-inch bore, double-shield, extra light series bearing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, millwright, or HVAC technician. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or seating a bearing. Use a proper bearing press or driver tube to apply force evenly to the correct bearing race - never strike the bearing directly with a hammer or apply installation force through the rolling elements. Verify shaft and housing fit tolerances before pressing to avoid premature bearing failure.
