6008-2RS1/C2 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6008-2RS1/C2 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in demanding applications. This metric bearing features integral contact seals (2RS1) for robust contamination protection and is manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, ensuring reliable operation and interchangeability. A key performance characteristic is its C2 radial internal clearance, which is tighter than standard, making it suitable for applications requiring precise shaft positioning and reduced noise levels. Its compact design, combined with high-quality chrome steel construction, provides an optimal balance of high load capacity and durability.
6008-2RS1/C2 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6008 | Basic bearing designation indicating a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 40mm bore, 68mm OD, and 15mm width. |
| 2RS1 | The bearing is equipped with two NBR contact seals on both sides. These seals provide superior protection against dust, dirt, and moisture compared to non-contact shields. |
| /C2 | Specifies a radial internal clearance that is smaller than the Normal (CN) group. This is ideal for applications with precise fits, reduced vibration, and where operating temperatures are moderate. |
6008-2RS1/C2 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Sealing for Long Service Life: The 2RS1 contact seals effectively retain lubricant and exclude contaminants, significantly extending bearing life in harsh environments and enabling maintenance-free operation in many applications.
- Optimized Internal Geometry: The deep groove raceways and high-quality chrome steel construction enable the bearing to accommodate not only high radial loads but also moderate axial loads in both directions.
- Precision and Stability: Manufactured to ABEC 1 precision and featuring C2 clearance, this bearing offers consistent running accuracy, low noise, and minimal vibration, which is critical for smooth operation.
- High-Speed Capability: The design, combined with the option for re-lubrication (if seals are specified as non-filling type), supports a limiting speed of 10,000 rpm, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial drives.
6008-2RS1/C2 Bearing Typical Application Areas
