E2.608-2Z/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The E2.608-2Z/C3 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for reliable performance in demanding applications. This bearing excels at handling radial loads with high efficiency and is characterized by its compact design and robust construction. A key feature is its C3 radial internal clearance, which accommodates thermal expansion in applications with higher operating temperatures or where fits create a tighter internal environment. The inclusion of shielded seals (2Z) provides effective protection against contamination, enhancing operational reliability and service life. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it delivers consistent performance for a wide range of industrial uses.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| E2.608 | Basic bearing designation, indicating a specific size and series. | Defines the core dimensions: 8mm bore, 22mm OD, 7mm width. |
| 2Z | Bearing is equipped with shields on both sides. | Offers protection from solid contaminants while maintaining low friction and high-speed capability. |
| C3 | Specifies a greater than normal radial internal clearance. | Prevents preload and binding in applications subject to thermal expansion or interference fits. |
E2.608-2Z/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Deep Groove Raceway & Single Row Design: The geometry of the deep groove raceway is optimized for handling radial loads efficiently. The single row construction provides a compact and lightweight solution.
- Shielded Protection (2Z): The steel shields fitted on both sides protect the internal components from dust and other particulates, significantly increasing bearing life in contaminated environments without the high torque associated with contact seals.
- Optimized Internal Clearance (C3): The C3 clearance group is a critical feature for applications where thermal expansion of the shaft and housing is a factor. It prevents excessive preload, which can lead to overheating and premature failure, ensuring stable operation.
- Chrome Steel Construction: All critical components—rings, balls, and cage—are manufactured from high-grade chrome steel, providing excellent durability, wear resistance, and a long operational lifespan.
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 38,000 rpm, this bearing is suitable for high-velocity applications, a performance supported by its low-friction shields and precision manufacturing.
