W 6008-2RS1/VP311 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Full Stainless Steel Construction: The rings, balls, and cage are made of stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for harsh environments and washdown applications.
- Robust Sealing (2RS1): The integral contact seals effectively shield the internal components from dust, dirt, and moisture, while also retaining the lubricant. This significantly enhances bearing service life and reliability.
- Optimized Grease Lubrication (VP311): The bearing is pre-lubricated with a high-quality grease that is stable across the specified temperature range (-30° to 120 °C), contributing to its high limiting speed of 6,300 rpm and ensuring long-term, maintenance-free operation.
- High Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 3282 lbf and a static load rating of 2563 lbf, this deep groove ball bearing is capable of handling significant radial loads in a compact bearing size.
W 6008-2RS1/VP311 Bearing Typical Application Areas
