Smooth rotation with the Skf ball bearing

Practical benefits

Double sided contamination protection: You keep lubricant locked inside while preventing dust and moisture ingress with the integrated dual rubber contact seals.
Extra internal clearance: The C3 clearance allows you to run high speed applications smoothly by accommodating thermal expansion without increased friction.
Reliable dual direction loading: You support both radial and axial loads effortlessly across demanding machinery using this robust 40X68X15 mm steel bearing.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Skf 6008-2RS1/C3 deep groove ball bearing, you ensure smooth, reliable rotation across demanding machinery and drive shafts. This durable 40X68X15 mm steel bearing easily supports both radial and axial loads in electric motors, pumps, and conveyor systems. Thanks to the dual rubber contact seals, the factory grease stays securely inside while keeping dust, dirt, and moisture out for completely maintenance-free operation. The enlarged C3 internal radial clearance accommodates thermal expansion during high-speed and high-temperature running, preventing bearing seizure. Mount it directly onto any 40 mm cylindrical shaft to keep your equipment running with optimal control and dependability.

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
