Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 608

The FAG 608 single-row deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 8x22x7 mm, accommodates both radial and axial loads in compact installations.

The 608 deep-groove ball bearing is a miniature rolling bearing suitable for a wide range of industrial and workshop applications. This single-row bearing from FAG is made from case-hardened standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) and features rolling elements and raceways with high dimensional accuracy. Thanks to its compact dimensions – an 8 mm bore, 22 mm outside diameter and 7 mm width – the component fits into space-constrained designs. A sturdy sheet steel cage guides the balls evenly into the deep grooves of the inner and outer rings.

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

Design engineers and maintenance technicians typically use this size in compact shaft mountings, smaller devices or precision mechanical systems. The 608 deep-groove ball bearing primarily absorbs radial forces, but thanks to the geometry of the raceways, it also transmits moderate axial forces in both directions. As the bearing is designed without integrated sealing washers, it runs in with minimal frictional resistance. It is therefore particularly suitable for drives where smooth running is required and the bearing housing already has an external seal.

What are the special features of the bearing’s open design?

As an open rolling bearing, this design has no factory-fitted sealing or cover rings. You determine the lubricant – grease or oil – yourself, to suit the operating conditions of your system. A clean installation environment helps to ensure that no foreign particles enter the raceways. With standard radial bearing clearance and tolerance class P0, the bearing meets the requirements of standard shaft and housing fits within the permissible temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees.
