KOYO 16010 C3 50x80x10 mm Ball Bearing

Key Features and Characteristics

Slim-section deep groove ball bearing for high-speed industrial applications

The KOYO 16010 C3 is a single-row deep groove ball bearing with dimensions 50 mm x 80 mm x 10 mm, designed for applications requiring compact construction, high precision and reliable performance under radial and moderate axial loads. The C3 internal clearance provides increased radial play, ensuring stable operation at higher rotational speeds and elevated temperatures.

The open design allows external lubrication adjustment, giving flexibility in demanding environments where the bearing must operate under variable loads or thermal conditions. Its narrow profile makes it ideal for installations with limited mounting space, improving assembly speed and reducing downtime in industrial equipment.
