Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6208 -2RS1

The 6208 -2RS1 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 40x80x18 mm, offers protection against dust and moisture on both sides under a wide range of radial loads.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6208 -2RS1 from SKF is a versatile radial ball bearing conforming to standard specifications. With a bore of 40 mm, an outer diameter of 80 mm and a width of 18 mm, the component primarily absorbs radial forces, but also supports shafts axially in both directions. As the inner ring, outer ring and rolling elements are manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-bearing steel, this ball bearing exhibits high dimensional stability.

What is the 6208-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is used on rotating shafts in mechanical engineering where moderate radial and axial forces are present. Thanks to its sealed design, the bearing is suitable for environments with dust or splashing water. The rolling elements run in deep grooves without a feed groove, which ensures even load distribution. An integrated sheet steel cage keeps the rolling elements at a uniform distance apart and ensures smooth running.

What is the function of the 2RS1 seal in this bearing?

The suffix 2RS1 indicates abiding seals fitted on both sides. These contact seals rest against the inner ring, retain the lubricant inside the bearing and help to prevent the ingress of dirt or moisture. This design features standard radial bearing clearance and tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1). It is intended for use within a permissible temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.
