Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 62208 -2RS1

The SKF deep groove ball bearing 62208 -2RS1 (40x80x23 mm) offers reliable protection against dirt and moisture thanks to its ground seals on both sides and standard clearance.

The SKF deep groove ball bearing 62208 -2RS1 is a single-row rolling bearing designed to accommodate both radial and axial loads in both directions. Compared with the standard 6208 series, this version is characterised by an increased width of 23 mm. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel, the design features a dimensionally stable sheet steel cage and operates within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What is the 62208-2RS1 deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians prefer to use this bearing design for rotating shafts that require an increased lubricant reserve within a compact installation space. Compared with narrower bearing variants, the additional housing volume provides space for a larger quantity of grease, which helps to extend service life under continuous radial loads. The cylindrical outer ring, which has no flange or groove, allows the bearing to be fitted directly into smooth housing bores, whilst the standard radial bearing clearance ensures balanced operating clearance within the nominal temperature range.

What advantage does the 2RS1 seal offer with this SKF bearing?

The suffix combination -2RS1 denotes abiding sealing lips fitted on both sides, with robust sheet metal reinforcement. These seals lie directly against the inner ring and help to keep dust, dirt particles and splash water out of the bearing interior. At the same time, they help to retain the lubricant applied at the factory. Compared with open bearings, this eliminates the need for external sealing elements and regular relubrication during operation.
