16004 C3 MGK 20x42x8 - Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Construction and design

16004 C3 MGK 20x42x8 is a thin section deep groove ball bearing designed for compact mechanical systems requiring high rotational speed and limited installation space. The single row deep groove construction provides smooth operation, low rolling resistance and stable support for radial and moderate axial loads.

The 16004 series belongs to thin section ball bearings widely used in industrial applications where compact dimensions and operational durability are essential. The 20x42x8 mm dimensions make this model suitable for electric motors, industrial fans, automation equipment and precision drive systems.

The C3 designation indicates increased internal clearance, improving operating conditions at higher temperatures and elevated rotational speeds. This solution helps reduce overheating risk and improves durability during continuous operation.

Industrial applications

16004 C3 MGK is commonly used in electric motors, industrial fans, automation systems, pumps, gearboxes and compact mechanical assemblies requiring precise operation. Its thin section construction makes the bearing ideal for applications with limited mounting space.

Deep groove ball bearings from the 16000 series are widely selected by maintenance departments because of their versatility, ability to operate at high rotational speeds and resistance to radial and moderate axial loads.

16004 C3 MGK performs very well in modern industrial equipment requiring lightweight, durable and reliable rolling components.
