Most Drill chucks are either straight shank 1/2 inch, tapered, or integraded shank. An ER16's largest size is .393. Are you sure the actual spindle is an ER16 or is it an R8? If it's an R8 you can get an R8 Collet 1/2 inch and buy a straight shank drill chuck. Or you can buy an R8 Integraded shank Drill Chuck. There is also the option of an R8 taper adapter and a separate drill chuck.
Here is a link to enco check them out.
