Smooth rotation and reliable protection

Practical benefits

Skf bearing with seals: You keep out dirt and moisture while retaining lubricant thanks to the contact seals fitted on both sides.
Low friction high speeds: You achieve smooth operation and minimal vibration during demanding high-speed rotational tasks.
Versatile bidirectional load handling: The single-row deep groove geometry allows you to handle combined radial and axial loads in both directions.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Skf 6008-2RS1 single-row deep groove ball bearing, you restore smooth rotation and reliable operation in electric motors, pumps, and industrial machinery. The integrated rubber contact seals on both sides keep out dirt, dust, and moisture while locking in the factory-filled lubricant for maintenance-free service. Its robust single-row geometry effortlessly handles combined radial and axial loads in both directions, delivering low-friction and low-vibration performance at high rotational speeds. Featuring standard dimensions of 40X68X15 mm and a cylindrical bore, this durable steel bearing mounts directly and accurately onto a 40 mm shaft.

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
