Key Performance Features

01. High-Quality Bearing Steel & Heat Treatment

Manufactured from chrome steel (GCr15 / SAE 52100) with advanced heat treatment, the 6008-2RS offers consistent hardness and dimensional stability. The robust construction withstands typical operating stresses, providing long-term reliability in continuous-duty applications.

02. Double-Lip Contact Seal Protection

The 6008-2RS is equipped with non-removable rubber seals (NBR) that provide excellent resistance to dust, moisture, and light splash. The seal lips maintain constant contact with the inner ring land, effectively retaining grease and extending service life in dirty or humid environments without requiring re-lubrication.

03. Optimized Internal Geometry

Engineered with a precision-ground raceway and a carefully selected ball complement, this bearing minimizes frictional torque while ensuring smooth, quiet operation. The internal design is optimized for even load distribution, enhancing fatigue life under moderate radial and axial loads.

Design & Configuration

The 6008-2RS is supplied as a pre-greased, sealed bearing unit ready for installation. The double-sealed design eliminates the need for additional sealing and reduces maintenance in most applications. For environments requiring even higher sealing performance, alternative contact or low-friction seals can be specified. Open (no seal) and metal-shielded (ZZ) versions of the same size are also available for applications with external lubrication or lower drag torque. If you require special internal clearances (C3, C4) or customized packaging for OEM assembly, please consult our technical sales team for availability.

"For light-to-medium duty motors, pumps, and industrial equipment where reliable sealing and low maintenance are priorities, the 6008-2RS delivers consistent, long-lasting performance. Its compact dimensions and standardized sealing make it a versatile, cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications.
