6008-2RS1/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6008-2RS1/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. This metric bearing features integral contact seals (2RS1) for effective contamination protection and is manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, ensuring consistent quality. Its key advantage lies in its ability to handle significant radial loads while offering operational stability across a wide temperature range. The predefined C3 radial internal clearance makes it particularly suitable for applications involving thermal expansion or where interference fits are used.
6008-2RS1/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6008 | Basic bearing designation indicating a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 40mm bore and 68mm outside diameter. |
| 2RS1 | Bearing with contact seals on both sides. The RS1 type seal provides effective protection against contaminants while offering low friction. |
| C3 | Indicates greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is essential for applications with thermal expansion, shaft misalignment, or where press fits are used. |
6008-2RS1/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Robust Construction: Manufactured entirely from chrome steel for rings, balls, and cage, this bearing delivers consistent performance and durability. The single row deep groove design provides excellent radial load capacity (3754 lbf dynamic / 2585 lbf static).
Enhanced Sealing & Protection: The double-contact seals (2RS1) effectively shield the bearing interior from dust, moisture, and other contaminants, significantly extending service life in harsh environments.
Optimized Internal Clearance: The C3 clearance accommodates thermal expansion in high-speed applications (up to 10,000 rpm) and compensates for dimensional changes caused by interference fits, preventing premature failure.
Precision Manufacturing: Built to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, this bearing ensures reliable operation with minimal vibration, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
