FAQ

What does the 'N' suffix mean on the SKF 6308 N bearing?
The 'N' suffix indicates that the bearing has a snap ring groove machined into its outer ring. This groove is designed to accommodate a snap ring, providing a simple and effective method for axially locating the bearing in a housing.

Is a specific lubricant or grease required for this bearing?
As new old stock, this bearing is likely pre-lubricated for storage. For optimal performance, especially in demanding applications (high speed, high temperature), it is recommended to verify the application's lubrication requirements and, if necessary, clean and relubricate the bearing with a suitable, fresh grease.

This bearing was made in 1989. Is it still suitable for use?
Yes, provided it has been stored correctly in a dry environment. The bearing's steel components do not degrade over time. However, the original grease may have aged. For critical applications, it is best practice to clean out the old grease and apply new, high-quality lubricant before installation.
