6208-2Z/C3HT Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6208-2Z/C3HT is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high-performance industrial applications. This shielded bearing offers reliable radial load capacity and is characterized by its C3 radial internal clearance, making it suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Its ABEC 1 (ISO P0) tolerance ensures consistent quality and smooth operation. The combination of chrome steel construction and high-temperature capability (up to 120°C) provides durability in demanding environments.
6208-2Z/C3HT Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 6208: Basic series designation for a medium-duty, single row deep groove ball bearing.
- 2Z: Signifies non-contact shields on both sides. This provides effective protection against contaminants while minimizing friction and heat generation.
- C3: Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is advantageous in applications subject to thermal expansion, heavy loads, or where shaft and housing fits create a reduction in operational clearance.
- HT: Denotes suitability for a High-Temperature environment, with an operational range up to 120°C.
6208-2Z/C3HT Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade chrome steel for both rings, balls, and cage, ensuring high strength, wear resistance, and a long service life.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and robust design enable it to handle significant radial dynamic loads (6542 lbf) and radial static loads (4002 lbf) efficiently.
- High-Speed Operation: With a limiting speed of 8,300 rpm, this bearing is capable of supporting high rotational speeds in various machinery.
- Pre-Configured Internal Clearance: The C3 clearance provides operational stability in applications prone to thermal expansion, preventing binding and ensuring smooth performance.
- Maintenance-Friendly Design: The 2Z shields retain the factory-fresh condition of the bearing by keeping out dust and debris, making it a maintenance-free solution for many applications. It is supplied without lubrication (None), allowing for the use of specialized greases as required.
