16004 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 16004 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for reliable performance in general industrial applications. Designed primarily for radial load support, it features an open construction that facilitates easy relubrication. Manufactured with chrome steel rings and balls and a stainless steel cage, it offers a robust solution with a standard ABEC-1 precision class. Its compact design, with a 20 mm bore and 8 mm width, makes it suitable for applications where space is limited, while its high limiting speed of 13,000 rpm supports demanding operational requirements.
