Deep groove ball bearing SKF 208-2Z, Outer diameter: 80 mm | Width: 18 mm | Inner diameter: 40 mm

Ball bearings are essential mechanical components that reduce friction and support various loads in a wide range of industrial applications. Among them, deep groove ball bearings stand out for their versatility, their ability to operate at high speeds, and their low maintenance requirements.

This SKF deep groove ball bearing is designed for applications requiring high radial load capacity. Thanks to its fill grooves, it can withstand higher radial loads than standard models. This bearing is also equipped with two metal shields that provide effective protection against external solid contaminants.

Features:
This bearing is designed with a single row of balls and features fill grooves on both the inner and outer rings. Thanks to these grooves, the bearing can accommodate more balls, which improves its ability to withstand higher radial loads. However, this configuration may slightly limit its axial load capacity as well as its rotational speed. Its standard radial clearance (CN) ensures good stability and smooth performance. Its two metal shields provide effective protection against debris and help keep the lubricant inside the bearing.

Maintenance:
The bearing requires little maintenance thanks to its shields, which effectively retain the lubricant inside and also protect against medium- and large-sized solid contaminants. It is nevertheless advisable to regularly monitor parameters such as noise, temperature, and vibration to quickly detect any signs of malfunction.

Sealing:
Equipped with metal shields on both sides, this bearing is designed to provide effective protection against debris and other solid contaminants. This protection significantly limits the ingress of unwanted particles and also preserves the internal lubrication, thereby contributing to the bearing’s longevity and reducing maintenance requirements.

Brand Information:
SKF (Svenska Kullager-Fabriken) is a Swedish multinational group founded in 1907 and a world leader in the field of mechanical bearings. SKF is one of the world’s leading suppliers of bearings, seals, mechatronic components, lubrication systems, and services designed to improve the reliability of rotating equipment and ensure its performance. SKF products can be used anywhere there is motion. They are used in some 40 industrial sectors, such as automotive transportation, aerospace, rail, manufacturing, food and beverage, medical, traditional and renewable energy, and agriculture.

Key Features:
- High radial load capacity thanks to filling grooves that allow for more balls;
- Dust shields that protect against contaminants and lubricant loss;
- Low internal friction that contributes to the bearing’s overall performance.

Applications:
This SKF bearing is specifically designed for applications requiring high radial load capacity combined with good resistance to contaminants. It is commonly used in agricultural machinery, where it must withstand heavy loads while being exposed to dusty environments. Similarly, it is widely used in gear reducers. In addition, this bearing is ideal for conveyors that transport heavy loads, as it provides effective protection against contaminants.
