Product Overview and Core Advantages
The S6808zz is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-performance applications requiring precision and reliability. This metric bearing features a compact design with a 7mm width, making it ideal for space-constrained assemblies. Constructed entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its shielded design provides effective protection against contaminant ingress while maintaining low operating torque. The bearing is engineered to handle primarily radial loads and is characterized by its ABEC-1 precision class and C0 radial internal clearance, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments.

Structural Features and Performance Benefits
Deep Groove Geometry: The raceway design enables efficient handling of radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, providing versatile load capacity.
Stainless Steel Construction: All components manufactured from stainless steel ensure superior corrosion resistance and compatibility with various operating environments, maintaining dimensional stability across the temperature range of -86 to 230 °F.
Shielded Protection: The double zz shields effectively retain lubrication and exclude contaminants without significantly increasing friction, contributing to the limiting speed of 10,800 rpm.
Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class with C0 radial clearance (0.006mm to 0.020mm), ensuring smooth operation and reduced vibration in precision applications.
Dynamic Performance: With a radial dynamic load rating of 997 lbf and radial static load rating of 846 lbf, this bearing delivers reliable performance under significant operational stresses.
