SKF 6208-2ZNR

SKF 6208-2ZNR Explorer Deep Groove Ball Bearing Description The SKF 6208-2ZNR is a single-row deep groove ball bearing from the high-performance Explorer series. It is designed for high running accuracy at high and very high speeds, accommodating both radial and axial loads in both directions. The ‘2Z’ suffix indicates that the bearing is fitted with non-contacting metal shields on both sides, protecting against solid contaminants. The ‘NR’ suffix signifies a snap ring groove in the outer ring, which simplifies design by allowing the bearing to be axially located in the housing with a snap ring.

FAQ What is the significance of the ‘Explorer’ class in SKF bearings?SKF Explorer class bearings are an enhanced performance line featuring optimized internal geometry, improved steel purity, and a unique heat treatment process. This results in higher dynamic load ratings, reduced friction, and significantly longer service life compared to standard bearings. What is the purpose of the ‘2Z’ and ‘NR’ suffixes?’2Z’ (or ‘ZZ’) indicates that the bearing has a pressed steel shield on both sides. These shields protect the bearing’s interior from larger contaminant particles without contacting the inner ring, thus not increasing friction. ‘NR’ indicates a snap ring groove in the outer ring, along with an accompanying snap ring, which provides a simple and space-saving way to axially locate the bearing in a housing. Is the SKF 6208-2ZNR lubricated for life?Yes, bearings with ‘2Z’ shields are pre-lubricated with a specific grease at the factory and are considered lubricated for life. They are designed to not require re-lubrication under normal operating conditions, making them maintenance-free.
