SKF 6008-2RS1 Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Description

The SKF 6008-2RS1 is a versatile single-row deep groove ball bearing, designed for high performance and reliability. It features two contact seals made from NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber) that effectively protect against dust, dirt, and moisture, while retaining the essential lubricant. This bearing is ideal for applications with high rotational speeds and both radial and axial loads in both directions.

FAQ

What does the '2RS1' suffix mean on an SKF bearing?

The '2RS1' suffix indicates that the bearing is fitted with contact seals on both sides. These seals are made from NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber) and provide excellent protection against contamination from dirt and moisture, while also retaining the lubricant inside the bearing.

The standard SKF 6008-2RS1 with NBR seals has a permissible operating temperature range of -40 to +100 deg C, with short peaks up to +120 deg C. For continuous operation at higher temperatures, a bearing with different seals (e.g., FKM, designated by '2RSH/VT') or an open bearing with appropriate high-temperature grease would be required.

The primary difference is the type of protection. The '2RS1' has contact rubber seals on both sides, offering superior sealing against contaminants. The '2Z' (or 'ZZ') designation means the bearing has non-contact metal shields on both sides. Shields offer good protection against larger particles and are suitable for higher speeds, but they are less effective against fine dust and moisture compared to RS1 seals.
