6208 Y/C78

The model number 6208 follows a standard industry designation. Here is a breakdown of its key characteristics:

• 6: Indicates the series, a "Medium" series deep groove ball bearing.
• 2: Represents the width series.
• 08: Signifies a bore diameter of 40 mm (08 * 5 = 40 mm).
• Open (No Seal/Shield Suffix): The absence of a suffix like "2Z" or "RS" denotes an open bearing, allowing for higher limiting speeds and custom lubrication regimes.
• No Lubrication Suffix: Supplied without factory grease (Lubrication: None), providing flexibility for the user to apply a lubricant suitable for the specific application.

The 6208's performance is derived from its fundamental deep groove ball bearing construction:

• High-Speed Capability: The open design and absence of contact seals minimize friction and heat generation, enabling a high limiting speed of 8,300 rpm.
• Robust Load Capacity: Manufactured entirely from Chrome Steel for the rings, balls, and cage, it offers a high radial dynamic load rating of 6542 lbf and a radial static load rating of 4002 lbf, ensuring long service life under demanding conditions.
• Standard Precision: Built to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class and standard radial internal clearance (CN), it provides reliable and consistent performance for the vast majority of industrial applications without the need for high-precision costs.
• Versatile Mounting: The precise dimensional tolerances on the bore diameter, outside diameter, and width facilitate easy installation and interchangeability.

The 6208 is a workhorse component found in numerous sectors due to its balanced performance and reliability. Common applications include:

• Electric Motors and Gearboxes
• Industrial Pumps and Compressors
• Material Handling Equipment (Conveyors, Pulleys)
• Agricultural Machinery
• General Industrial Machinery and Power Transmission Systems
