Product Overview: The 16004 Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The 16004 bearing is a compact and versatile single-row deep groove ball bearing with dimensions of 20x42x8mm. As a key component in our 16000 Series, this bearing is engineered for high-speed applications while supporting both radial and moderate axial loads. Its design features deep, uninterrupted raceway grooves that have a close osculation with the balls, enabling it to accommodate loads from both directions. This makes the 16004 an excellent choice for a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications requiring reliable, low-friction performance in a slim profile.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 16004 is a fundamental part of our extensive Deep Groove Ball Bearings collection. These bearings are the most widely used type due to their simple design, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. Whether for electric motors, power tools, or automotive components, the 16004 provides the durability and efficiency required for demanding operational environments.
