W 6008-2Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The W 6008-2Z is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. Engineered from stainless steel throughout, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its key advantage lies in its ability to accommodate radial loads efficiently while also handling moderate axial loads in both directions. The integral shielded design protects against contamination, making it a compact and durable solution for applications requiring high reliability and long service life with minimal maintenance.
W 6008-2Z Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| W | Designates a stainless steel bearing. |
| 6008 | Standard deep groove ball bearing series with a 40 mm bore diameter, 68 mm outside diameter, and 15 mm width. |
| 2Z | Signifies bearings with shields on both sides. This provides effective protection against coarse contaminants while being a low-friction sealing solution. |
W 6008-2Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction: Manufactured entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), this bearing is highly resistant to corrosion and suitable for harsh environments.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and single row design are engineered to carry significant radial dynamic load ratings (3282 lbf) and radial static load ratings (2563 lbf).
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 11,000 rpm, it is suitable for high-speed applications. The stainless steel cage contributes to stable operation at these velocities.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The 2Z shields retain the factory-applied grease lubrication, protecting the bearing from contaminants and ensuring long-term, maintenance-free performance within the specified temperature range of -30°C to 120°C.
- Precision Fit: Manufactured to P0 tolerance class and standard CN radial internal clearance, ensuring consistent performance and ease of installation.
