Reliable rotation for high-speed machinery

Practical benefits

Smooth high-speed performance: With its increased C3 radial clearance, the 6008-2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing accommodates thermal expansion, allowing you to run machines smoothly at high speeds.
Effective dual metal shielding: The 2Z steel shields on both sides keep lubricant inside and block dust particles, ensuring you benefit from low-maintenance operation.
Handles combined directional loads: Designed to support both radial and axial forces, this durable steel bearing gives you versatile functionality with minimal rotational friction.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Skf 6008-2Z/C3 single row deep groove ball bearing, you keep electric motors, pumps, and drive shafts running smoothly and reliably. Thanks to the increased C3 radial internal clearance, this bearing accommodates thermal expansion at higher rotational speeds, effectively preventing seizing. The dual 2Z metal shields keep lubricant sealed inside while locking out dust and dirt for maintenance-free operation. Featuring a cylindrical bore of 40 mm, an outer diameter of 68 mm, and a width of 15 mm, this durable steel bearing easily handles 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
