Smooth rotation with Skf

Practical benefits

Effective double shield protection: Metal shields on both sides retain lubrication and prevent external dust or contaminants from entering.
Optimized for high speeds: The C3 internal clearance accommodates thermal expansion so you maintain smooth operation at high rotational speeds.
Balanced load handling capability: You handle combined radial and axial loads easily across a wide range of industrial equipment.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Skf 6208-2Z/C3 single-row deep groove ball bearing, you ensure smooth and dependable rotation in electric motors, pumps, fans, and drive systems. Thanks to its increased C3 radial internal clearance, this steel bearing easily accommodates thermal expansion during high-speed operations and elevated temperatures. The dual-sided metal shields retain the factory lubricant while keeping dust and dry contaminants out for low-maintenance operation. Featuring a 40 mm cylindrical bore, an 80 mm outer diameter, and an 18 mm width, it mounts directly onto straight shafts to efficiently handle both radial and axial loads in both directions.

Product description

Single row deep groove ball bearings with seals or shields are particularly versatile, have low friction and are optimized for low noise and low vibration, which enables high rotational speeds. They accommodate radial and axial loads in both directions, are easy to mount, and require less maintenance than many other bearing types. The integral sealing can significantly prolong bearing service life because it keeps lubricant in the bearings and contaminants out.

Integral sealing prolongs bearing service life
Simple, versatile and robust design
Low friction and high-speed capability
Accommodate radial and axial loads in both directions
Require little maintenance
