SKF 6308-2Z/C3 Ball Bearing is the most popular single-row ball bearing series from SKF – a world leader in motion technology. This component offers excellent load-bearing capacity and is designed for stable operation in machinery systems with high speeds and significant operating temperatures.
SKF 6308-2Z/C3 Ball Bearing Specifications
- Inner Diameter (d): 40 mm.
- Outer Diameter (D): 90 mm.
- Width (B): 23 mm.
- Rated Speed: Can reach approximately 15,000 rpm (depending on operating conditions).
- Load Capacity: Very high static (C₀) and dynamic (C) load capacity compared to smaller bearings with the same bore diameter.
Key Advantages of SKF 6308-2Z/C3
- Superior Durability: Uses high-quality carbon chromium steel, allowing the bearing to withstand high pressure and minimize wear.
- Smooth Operation: SKF's ultra-precision raceway grinding technology reduces friction, noise, and vibration during high-speed machine operation.
- Good Heat Resistance: Thanks to the C3 clearance, this product is extremely suitable for electric motors or machinery that generate significant heat during prolonged operation.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: The 2Z shield design protects the bearing from environmental factors, extending equipment life.
Practical Applications
- Electric Motors: Used for medium-power motors in factories and plants.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Drive shafts requiring precision and impact load resistance.
- Agricultural Machinery: Rotating shafts on tractors and harvesters that demand durability.
- Industrial Pump and Fan Systems: Areas with high rotational speeds and elevated ambient operating temperatures.
Notes on Installation and Maintenance
- Avoid Direct Hammering: Use SKF's specialized bearing installation tools to ensure even force distribution and prevent damage to the raceways.
- Check Temperature: If the bearing becomes excessively hot after installation, re-check shaft concentricity or excessive tightening force.
- Distinguish Genuine from Counterfeit: SKF is a brand frequently counterfeited. When purchasing, you should check the barcode using the SKF Authenticate app to ensure customer rights.
