Product Overview: The 16017 Thin Section Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The 16017 bearing is a specialized single-row, thin section deep groove ball bearing with dimensions of 85x130x13mm. As part of our 16000 Series, this bearing is engineered with a significantly smaller cross-section compared to standard bearings of the same bore diameter. This compact and lightweight design makes it the ideal choice for applications where space is limited and weight reduction is critical. Despite its slender profile, it is designed to handle both radial and moderate axial loads, offering versatility and high-speed performance.
Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, the 16017 is built for durability and reliability in various industrial and mechanical systems. Its deep raceway grooves provide excellent support for the rolling elements, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
