What are the dimensions of this SKF ball bearing?

The inner diameter is 40 mm, the outer diameter is 80 mm, and the width is 18 mm.

What does the 2RS1 suffix signify?

It indicates that the bearing has contact rubber seals on both sides to protect against dust and moisture.

What does the C3 clearance mean?

The internal radial clearance is greater than standard, accommodating thermal expansion at higher speeds or temperatures.

Does this deep groove ball bearing need lubrication before installation?

No, the bearing is factory-lubricated with high-grade grease for lifetime, maintenance-free operation.

What loads can this bearing accommodate?

This single-row deep groove ball bearing accommodates both radial and axial loads in both directions.

Smooth rotation under demanding loads

Practical benefits

Reliable Skf 6208-2RS1/C3 performance: You achieve smooth operation and high-speed capability thanks to the low-friction design with C3 internal clearance.
Durable dual rubber sealing: The contact seals keep grease inside while locking out dust and moisture, significantly extending bearing service life.
Bidirectional load support capability: You handle both radial and axial loads efficiently in diverse mechanical equipment, pumps, and motors.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Skf 6208-2RS1/C3 single-row deep groove ball bearing, you ensure smooth and dependable shaft rotation under demanding operating conditions. Sized at 40X80X18 mm, this steel bearing easily handles both radial and axial loads across electric motors, pumps, and gearboxes. The increased C3 internal clearance prevents bearing seizure during thermal expansion and at higher speeds. Equipped with dual rubber contact seals, it retains factory lubrication while keeping out dust and moisture. This gives you reliable, maintenance-free performance that extends the service life of your equipment.

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
