6308 Y/C78 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6308 bearing is a high-performance single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable operation under substantial radial loads. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it delivers consistent precision for general industrial applications. Its open design allows for versatile lubrication options, while the robust chrome steel construction of rings, balls, and cage ensures durability and a long service life across a wide temperature range from -30°C to 120°C.
6308 Y/C78 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Interpretation | Technical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 63 | Series Code | Indicates a medium-duty, single row deep groove ball bearing series. |
| 08 | Bore Diameter Code | Signifies a standard 40 mm bore diameter (08 * 5 mm = 40 mm). |
| (No Suffix) | Standard Design | Denotes an open bearing with CN radial internal clearance, no seals, and no pre-lubrication. |
6308 Y/C78 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Load Capacity: The continuous deep groove raceways and high-quality chrome steel components are engineered to handle significant radial dynamic loads (915 lbf) and high radial static loads (5395 lbf), ensuring stable performance.
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 7,500 rpm, this bearing is suitable for a wide range of high-velocity applications. The one-piece chrome steel cage provides secure ball guidance and stability at these speeds.
- Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured to ABEC 1 (ISO P0) precision class, it offers tight running accuracy and contributes to the overall rigidity of the assembly, minimizing vibration and runout.
- Application Flexibility: The open seal type allows engineers to select the optimal lubrication (grease or oil) for specific operating conditions, maximizing performance and service life.
