6308-2Z/C3WT Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6308-2Z/C3WT is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in a wide range of industrial applications. Its core advantage lies in its ability to efficiently handle radial loads while offering operational reliability. The bearing features shielded (2Z) construction on both sides, providing effective protection against contaminant ingress. Pre-lubricated and featuring a C3 radial internal clearance, this bearing is engineered for applications where thermal expansion is a consideration, ensuring stable performance and a long service life.
6308-2Z/C3WT Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6308 | Basic bearing designation, indicating a medium series, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 40mm bore. |
| 2Z | Bearing is shielded on both sides. This provides good protection against contaminants while allowing for high-speed operation. |
| C3 | Specifies a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is beneficial for applications with significant temperature gradients or where fits cause a reduction in clearance. |
| WT | Indicates the bearing is manufactured from heat-stabilized Chrome Steel, allowing for a continuous operating temperature up to 120°C. |
6308-2Z/C3WT Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & High Load Capacity: Manufactured from high-grade Chrome Steel for both rings and balls, this bearing offers a high radial static load rating of 5395 lbf and a radial dynamic load rating of 915 lbf, ensuring durability under demanding conditions.
- Effective Sealing with Shields (2Z): The non-contact steel shields on both sides effectively retain the factory-applied lubricant and protect the internal components from dust and other contaminants, enhancing bearing life without significantly increasing friction.
- Optimized for Thermal Conditions (C3 Clearance): The C3 radial internal clearance accommodates the thermal expansion encountered in many applications, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload and ensuring smooth operation.
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 7,500 rpm, this bearing is suitable for a variety of high-speed applications, supported by its precision ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class.
6308-2Z/C3WT Bearing Typical Application Areas
The 6308-2Z/C3WT is a versatile component ideal for use in:
- Electric Motors and Gearboxes
- Industrial Pumps and Fans
- Material Handling Equipment
- Agricultural Machinery
