608-Z/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 608-Z/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. This metric bearing features a shielded design (Z) and a greater than normal radial internal clearance (C3), making it an excellent choice for applications with thermal expansion concerns or where moderate misalignments may occur. Its compact design, with an 8 mm bore and 22 mm outside diameter, provides a robust solution for supporting radial loads in high-speed environments, with a limiting speed of 34,000 rpm.
608-Z/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
| 608 | Basic bearing series number, indicating a deep groove ball bearing with an 8 mm bore and 22 mm outside diameter. |
| -Z | Denotes a non-contact shield on one side. This shield protects against large contaminants while minimizing friction, contributing to the high limiting speed. |
| /C3 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications involving thermal expansion, high-speed operation, or where shaft and housing fits may lead to a reduction in operational clearance. |
608-Z/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Shielded Protection: The Z-type shield effectively protects the bearing's internal components from large particulate contaminants, enhancing operational reliability and service life without significantly increasing rotational torque.
- Optimized Internal Clearance: The C3 clearance provides operational stability in applications prone to thermal expansion, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload and ensuring smooth running under varying temperature conditions.
- High-Speed Capability: Constructed from high-grade chrome steel for both rings and balls, and featuring a low-friction design, this bearing is engineered for high-speed operation up to 34,000 rpm.
- Standard Precision: Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, ensuring consistent quality and performance for general industrial applications.
608-Z/C3 Bearing Typical Application Areas
The 608-Z/C3 bearing is widely used across various industries due to its versatile design and robust performance. Key application areas include:
- Electric Motors: Ideal for small to medium-sized motors, fans, and blowers requiring high-speed operation and contaminant protection.
- Power Tools: Commonly found in drills, grinders, and other handheld tools where compact size and reliability are paramount.
- Office Machinery & Appliances: Used in printers, photocopiers, and household appliances like food processors and vacuum cleaners.
- Conveyor Systems: Suitable for light-duty conveyor rollers and idler pulleys.
