6208 M/C4S0 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6208 C4 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for robust performance in demanding applications. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to efficiently handle radial loads while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. Manufactured with precision tolerances (ABEC 1 | ISO P0) and an optimized radial internal clearance (C4), this bearing is designed for applications requiring reliable operation under specific thermal or load conditions. The open design allows for custom lubrication strategies, making it a versatile choice for various industrial settings.
6208 M/C4S0 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6208 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 40mm bore and 80mm outside diameter. |
| C4 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications with significant thermal expansion or where a specific preload condition is not desired. |
6208 M/C4S0 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Load Capacity: The single row deep groove raceway geometry is designed for high radial dynamic load ratings (6542 lbf) and static load ratings (4002 lbf), providing reliable support for rotating shafts.
- High-Speed Capability: Featuring a machined metal cage, the bearing maintains structural integrity and guides the balls effectively at high rotational speeds, with a limiting speed of 8,300 rpm.
- Precision & Stability: Manufactured to ABEC 1 / ISO P0 tolerance class, it ensures consistent running accuracy and minimal vibration for smooth operation.
- Versatile Operating Range: Constructed from chrome steel for both rings and balls, it offers a wide operating temperature range from -30°C to 150°C.
- Application-Specific Clearance: The C4 clearance is a key feature that accommodates differential thermal expansion between the shaft and housing, preventing excessive preload and potential bearing seizure in high-temperature environments.
