6208-2Z/C3S1GWP Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6208-2Z/C3S1GWP is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in a wide range of industrial applications. This shielded bearing excels in handling significant radial loads while offering protection against contaminant ingress. Its key advantages include a C3 radial internal clearance for thermal expansion management in demanding conditions, a high limiting speed of 8,300 rpm, and compliance with ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards for reliable, consistent operation. Manufactured entirely from chrome steel, it provides excellent durability and a long service life.
Model Code Breakdown
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| 6208 | Basic series and size designation (40mm bore, 80mm OD) | Standardized dimensions for easy interchangeability. |
| 2Z | Non-contact shields on both sides | Protects bearing internals from dust and debris with minimal impact on speed. |
| C3 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance | Accommodates thermal expansion in high-speed or high-temperature applications, preventing preload and seizure. |
| S1 | Stabilized for high-temperature service (up to 200°C) | Ensures dimensional stability and retained performance in elevated temperature environments. |
| GWP | Grease with PTFE (Pre-lubricated) | Provides initial, maintenance-free lubrication suitable for a wide temperature range (-30°C to 200°C). |
6208-2Z/C3S1GWP Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Robust Construction: The single row deep groove raceway and high-quality chrome steel construction (rings, balls, and cage) provide high strength and resistance to wear, contributing to a high dynamic load rating of 6542 lbf and a static load rating of 4002 lbf.
Optimized for Speed and Temperature: The combination of the C3 clearance and the high-temperature stabilized rings (S1) allows for reliable operation at the high limiting speed and across the extended temperature range, reducing the risk of thermal failure.
Enhanced Contamination Protection: The 2Z shields act as a physical barrier, protecting the precision-ground components and the GWP grease from contamination, thereby extending the bearing's service life in less-than-ideal environments.
Maintenance-Free Operation: Being pre-lubricated with specialized PTFE grease, this bearing is ready for immediate installation and use, eliminating the need for initial lubrication and reducing maintenance overhead.
6208-2Z/C3S1GWP Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors: A common choice for motor shafts due to its ability to handle radial loads and high speeds.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in various power transmission systems.
- Material Handling Equipment: Used in conveyor pulleys and rollers where contamination resistance is crucial.
- Agricultural Machinery: Suitable for applications like pulleys and fans that operate in dusty conditions.
- General Industrial Machinery: An excellent, versatile bearing for pumps, blowers, and other machinery requiring a balance of load capacity, speed, and protection.
