Ball bearings of 16000 series are particularly narrow at the same inside diameter compared to deep groove ball bearings of the 60, 62, 63 and 64 series. They are especially suitable if the installation space in the axial direction is confined and nevertheless preferably high load-ratings are supposed to be reached. In comparison to deep groove ball bearings of the 62 light series they withstand higher speeds at the same inside diameter and only weigh half of them.
