Product Overview: The 16003 Thin Section Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The 16003 bearing is a single-row, thin section deep groove ball bearing, engineered for applications where space is limited but reliable performance is essential. With precise dimensions of a 17mm bore, 35mm outer diameter, and 8mm thickness, this bearing offers a compact solution without compromising on capability. As part of the versatile 16000 Series, it is one of the most widely used types in our Deep Groove Ball Bearings collection. Its design features deep, uninterrupted raceway grooves that closely conform to the balls, allowing it to accommodate radial and moderate axial loads in both directions.
Manufactured to high industry standards, the 16003 bearing provides low-friction operation, making it ideal for high-speed applications. Its simple yet effective design ensures it is a cost-effective and low-maintenance choice for a vast range of machinery and equipment. Whether you are designing new equipment or replacing a worn component, the 16003 offers a dependable and efficient solution for your rotational needs.
