Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 608

The SKF 608 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 8x22x7 mm, provides precise support for compact shafts and precision mechanical drives.

This single-row deep groove ball bearing 608 is manufactured as an open rolling bearing in the SKF Explorer design. With a bore of 8 mm, an outside diameter of 22 mm and a width of 7 mm, this miniature bearing is suitable for space-saving designs. As the component is designed without integrated sealing washers, lubricant can be applied directly. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements, made of bearing steel, evenly along the raceways.

What is the 608 open-type deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers prefer to use this compact rolling bearing in clean environments where external seals or enclosed housings protect the raceways from contamination. Typical applications include compact shaft arrangements and precision mechanical systems. The bearing primarily absorbs radial forces and supports shafts even under moderate axial loads in both directions.

What characteristics do tolerance classes P6 and P5 offer for the 608 deep groove ball bearing?

The combination of dimensional accuracy P6 and running accuracy P5 defines tight manufacturing tolerances for the component. The P6 tolerance class applies to the external dimensions, whilst P5 specifies the concentricity of the rotating rings. This design ensures smooth running at high speeds and reduces vibrations in the drive. Together with the standard radial clearance, the bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.
