6008-2RS1/GFF/R806 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6008-2RS1/GFF/R806 is a sealed single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high reliability in demanding applications. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to handle significant radial loads while offering protection from contamination through its integrated seals. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, this bearing provides a robust and cost-effective solution for general machinery requiring consistent performance and extended service life.
Model Code Breakdown
- 6008: Basic model number denoting a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 40mm bore, 68mm OD, and 15mm width.
- 2RS1: Signifies that the bearing is fitted with two contact seals (one on each side), providing effective protection against the ingress of contaminants and the egress of lubricant.
- GFF: Indicates the use of a glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66 cage. This cage material contributes to quiet operation, low friction, and is suitable for a wide operating temperature range.
- R806: Specifies the type of high-performance grease used for lubrication. This grease is selected to operate effectively within the specified temperature range of -30°C to 120°C.
6008-2RS1/GFF/R806 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Robust Sealed Construction: The 2RS1 contact seals are a key structural feature, creating an effective barrier that protects the bearing's internal components from dust, moisture, and other contaminants. This results in enhanced operational reliability and a longer service life, even in challenging environments.
High Radial Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and robust construction, including the chrome steel rings and balls, enable the bearing to support a high radial dynamic load rating of 3754 lbf and a radial static load rating of 2585 lbf.
Optimized Cage Design: The GFF polyamide cage offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio, guiding the balls effectively while reducing friction, noise, and vibration. This contributes to smooth operation at the specified limiting speed.
Pre-Lubricated for Maintenance-Free Operation: The bearing is pre-lubricated with R806 grease, making it ready for immediate installation and use. This feature eliminates the need for initial lubrication and supports maintenance-free operation for the grease service life.
6008-2RS1/GFF/R806 Bearing Typical Application Areas
This versatile sealed bearing is commonly specified in a wide range of industrial and commercial equipment, including:
- Electric Motors and Generators
- Gearboxes and Transmission Systems
- Industrial Fans and Blowers
- Material Handling Conveyors
- Agricultural Machinery
- Automotive Components (e.g., alternators, idler pulleys)
