6208/C3VE167 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6208/C3VE167 is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high-performance industrial applications. This open-type bearing is designed to primarily accommodate radial loads while also handling moderate axial loads in both directions. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it delivers reliable precision and consistent operation. A key feature is its C3 radial internal clearance, which makes it particularly suitable for applications involving thermal expansion, high-speed operation, or where interference fits are used, ensuring optimal performance and extended service life.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6208 | Standard deep groove ball bearing series with 40mm bore, 80mm OD, 18mm width. |
| /C3 | Radial internal clearance greater than normal (C3 group). Ideal for applications with thermal expansion or interference fits. |
| VE167 | Manufacturer-specific designation for chrome steel construction for rings, balls, and cage. |
6208/C3VE167 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & Material Integrity: The bearing utilizes chrome steel for all critical components (rings, balls, cage), providing excellent hardness, wear resistance, and durability under demanding operating conditions.
- Optimized Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 6542 lbf and a static load rating of 4002 lbf, it is built to handle significant radial loads, ensuring reliable performance in heavy-duty applications.
- High-Speed Capability: The limiting speed of 8,300 rpm is facilitated by the precision-ground components and the robust, one-piece cage design, which maintains ball alignment and reduces friction.
- Versatile Operating Range: The specified C3 clearance accommodates shaft and housing fits that may cause clearance reduction, as well as differential thermal expansion, preventing seizure and maintaining smooth operation.
- Wide Temperature Range: Suitable for operating temperatures from -30°C to 120°C, making it adaptable to various industrial environments.
