6208-2RS1/C3W64 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6208-2RS1/C3W64 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional reliability in demanding applications. This sealed bearing excels at handling primarily radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Its key advantages include a robust construction using chrome steel for all critical components, providing high durability and a long service life. The integrated Solid Oil lubrication and C3 radial internal clearance make it an ideal choice for applications requiring consistent performance under varying thermal conditions, offering a maintenance-free solution with a wide operating temperature range.
6208-2RS1/C3W64 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 6208: Basic designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 40mm bore and 80mm outside diameter.
- 2RS1: Indicates the bearing features two contact seals (one on each side), providing superior protection against contamination and retention of lubricant.
- C3: Specifies a greater radial internal clearance than normal (C0), suitable for applications with significant thermal expansion or where interference fits are used.
- W64: Denotes the bearing is lubricated with Solid Oil, a polymer matrix saturated with oil, ensuring long-term lubrication and eliminating leakage.
6208-2RS1/C3W64 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
The single row design with deep raceway grooves provides high radial load capacity and the ability to accommodate axial loads from both directions. The use of high-grade chrome steel for the rings, balls, and cage ensures high strength and resistance to wear. The 2RS1 contact seals effectively shield the internal components from contaminants like dust and moisture, significantly enhancing operational reliability. The Solid Oil (W64) lubrication system is a key performance feature, offering a consistent lubricating film that does not leak or drip, even at high speeds, contributing to the bearing's limiting speed of 8,300 rpm. The C3 clearance provides operational stability in environments with fluctuating temperatures, preventing preload and potential seizure.
