Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6008-2RS2/C3GJN, Outer diameter: 68 mm | Width: 15 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 single-row deep groove ball bearing from SKF is designed to withstand radial and axial loads in both directions while ensuring easy installation and optimal performance. Suitable for harsh environments, it is protected from external contaminants by its lip seals, thereby extending its service life. Ideal for high-speed applications, this product ensures quiet, energy-efficient, and precise operation. Its increased clearance reduces internal friction at high speeds, thereby optimizing overall performance.

Features:
Featuring FKM fluorinated elastomer lip seals on both sides, this SKF ball bearing provides excellent protection against dust, water, and liquid splashes. Thanks to its increased internal radial clearance (C3), it is designed for high speeds, maintaining low friction even during metal expansion. The sheet steel cage ensures good resistance to shocks and varying loads. This product is suitable for applications requiring heat tolerance and stable performance in corrosive environments. It is factory-pre-lubricated with a polyurea-thickened synthetic high-temperature grease.

Maintenance:
This bearing requires little maintenance thanks to its system of sealed lip seals on both sides, which prevents lubricant leakage and keeps contaminants out. Nevertheless, it is advisable to regularly check: operating temperature, vibration levels, alignment, seal integrity, and noise. Periodic inspections help maintain optimal performance and extend the product’s service life. The internal lubrication is designed to last for the entire service life of the bearing.

Sealing:
This deep-groove ball bearing is equipped with FKM fluorinated elastomer lip seals, also known as Viton®. These seals provide an effective barrier against dust, water, and chemical contaminants. Their resistance to oils, greases, diluted acids, and high temperatures ensures long-lasting protection in a variety of environments. The seals also help keep the lubricant inside, thereby reducing friction and extending the bearing’s service life.
