16064 MA/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 16064 MA/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-performance industrial applications requiring robust radial load capacity. Engineered with precision-ground chrome steel rings and balls, this bearing delivers exceptional durability and operational reliability. Its defining feature is the C3 radial internal clearance, which accommodates thermal expansion in demanding operating conditions, making it ideal for applications with elevated temperatures or heavy loads. The machined metal cage ensures stable operation at high speeds, while the open design allows for versatile lubrication options. This bearing is characterized by its high load ratings and precise dimensional tolerances, providing engineers with a reliable solution for critical machinery components.

16064 MA/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Optimized Single Row Design: The deep groove raceway geometry enables efficient handling of radial loads while accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions, providing versatile load-carrying capability.
Premium Material Construction: Manufactured from high-grade chrome steel for both rings and balls, ensuring superior hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue life under demanding operating conditions.
Machined Brass Cage (MA): The precision-machined brass cage offers exceptional strength and stability at the limiting speed of 1,700 rpm, reducing friction and maintaining proper ball guidance even under high centrifugal forces.
Enhanced Clearance (C3): The C3 radial clearance provides operational flexibility in applications where thermal expansion is a concern, preventing binding and ensuring smooth rotation across the temperature range of -30°C to 120°C.
Precision Manufacturing: Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy and reliable performance in industrial applications requiring precision bearings.
