6308 M/C4VL0241 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6308 C4VL0241 is a high-performance single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for demanding industrial applications. This precision bearing is characterized by its ability to handle significant radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it ensures reliable operation and consistent performance. A key feature is its optimized radial internal clearance C4, which makes it particularly suitable for applications with thermal expansion challenges or where interference fits are used, contributing to stable operation under varying thermal conditions.
6308 M/C4VL0241 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 6308 | Basic Bearing Number | Denotes a standard metric single row deep groove ball bearing with a 40mm bore, 90mm OD, and 23mm width. |
| C4 | Radial Internal Clearance | Specifies a greater than normal clearance group, ideal for applications with shaft interference fits or where operational heat generation is significant. |
| VL0241 | Cage Designation | Indicates a machined metal cage, providing high strength, excellent guidance, and suitability for high-speed operation and demanding conditions. |
6308 M/C4VL0241 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Robust Construction for High Load Capacity: The single row deep groove raceway geometry is optimized to support high radial dynamic load ratings of 915 lbf and substantial radial static load ratings of 5395 lbf. The use of high-grade chrome steel for both rings and balls ensures durability and long service life.
High-Speed Capability with Machined Metal Cage: The VL0241 machined metal cage is a critical component for performance. It offers superior strength and stability compared to stamped cages, enabling a high limiting speed of 7,500 rpm. This makes the bearing an excellent choice for high-speed applications.
Precision and Thermal Stability: Manufactured to ABEC 1 precision standards, the bearing ensures smooth, low-vibration operation. The specified C4 clearance provides operational flexibility in environments with thermal expansion, preventing binding and reducing friction and heat buildup.
Versatile Application Range: As an open bearing supplied without lubrication, it offers flexibility for systems with centralized lubrication or where a specific, specialized lubricant is required. Its wide temperature range of -30°C to 120°C further enhances its suitability for various industrial environments.
6308 M/C4VL0241 Bearing Typical Application Areas
