6308-2Z/C3-GJN Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6308-2Z/C3-GJN is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for robust performance in demanding industrial applications. This shielded bearing excels in handling primarily radial loads while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. Its key advantages include a generous C3 radial internal clearance for stable operation under thermal expansion, factory-fitted shields for contaminant exclusion, and high-quality chrome steel construction for durability. Designed to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it offers reliable, cost-effective performance for a wide range of machinery.
6308-2Z/C3-GJN Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 6308: Basic model number indicating a medium-duty, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 40mm bore, 90mm OD, and 23mm width.
- 2Z: Designates that the bearing is shielded on both sides. These non-contact steel shields protect the internal components from contamination while minimizing friction.
- C3: Specifies a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications where thermal expansion is expected, preventing preload and ensuring smooth operation.
- GJN: Indicates the bearing is lubricated with a specific polyurea-thickened grease. This grease offers excellent performance across the bearing's operating temperature range of -30°C to 120°C.
6308-2Z/C3-GJN Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & High Load Capacity: Manufactured from high-carbon chrome steel for both rings, balls, and cage, this bearing provides high strength and resistance to wear. With a dynamic load rating of 915 lbf and a static load rating of 5395 lbf, it is built to withstand significant radial forces.
- Optimized for Thermal Stability: The C3 clearance is a key performance feature, allowing for dimensional changes due to heat generation without inducing binding or failure, which is vital for maintaining performance in continuous operation.
- Long-Term Reliability with Sealing & Lubrication: The 2Z shields effectively keep contaminants out and the factory-applied GJN grease in, contributing to a long service life with minimal maintenance. This makes it a maintenance-free solution for many applications.
- Balanced High-Speed Performance: The combination of a precision-machined steel cage, optimized internal geometry, and effective grease lubrication enables a limiting speed of 7,500 rpm, suitable for a wide range of operational demands.
