16004 J/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 16004 J/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-performance applications requiring reliable radial load capacity and precision operation. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, this bearing offers excellent dimensional stability and smooth running characteristics. Its defining feature is the C3 radial internal clearance, which is larger than standard, making it particularly suitable for applications involving thermal expansion, heavy loads, or where interference fits are used. The open design allows for versatile lubrication options, while the all-chrome steel construction ensures durability and a long service life.
16004 J/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 16004 | Basic bearing designation, indicating a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 20mm bore. |
| J | Designates a stamped steel cage, which is lightweight and suitable for high-speed operation. |
| /C3 | Indicates a radial internal clearance greater than the Normal (C0) group. This is crucial for applications with expected thermal expansion or heavy interference fits. |
16004 J/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized for Radial Loads: The deep groove raceway and single row construction are engineered to efficiently support high radial dynamic load ratings (1416 lbf), providing reliable performance in demanding conditions.
- High-Speed Capability: The lightweight stamped steel cage (J) minimizes centrifugal forces, contributing to a high limiting speed of 13,000 rpm, making it an excellent high-speed bearing choice.
- Robust Construction: All components, including rings, balls, and cage, are made from high-grade chrome steel, offering excellent resistance to wear and fatigue, ensuring high rigidity and longevity.
- Application Flexibility: The open seal type and C3 clearance provide flexibility for custom lubrication regimes and accommodate operational thermal expansions, enhancing its suitability for a wide range of industrial environments.
