Industrial Radial Ball Bearing 6208

This Timken 208W radial ball bearing carries industry number 6208 and features a 40 mm bore with open closure. The outer ring width measures 18 mm and the outside diameter is 80 mm. Both rings and balls are made from alloy steel with a steel cage. It is rated ABEC 1 and uses Quaker Ferrocote lubricant.

For Maintenance Shops and Collectors

Maintenance technicians who need a standard metric bearing for replacement work will find the 46,200 N dynamic radial load capacity and 1.1 mm fillet radius suitable for general applications. Collectors seeking new-old-stock Timken components may also value the original packaging. Buyers who require sealed or shielded closures for contaminated environments should look at other designs.

Open Closure and Lubricant Choice

The open closure allows easy inspection and relubrication but offers no built-in contamination protection. Quaker Ferrocote lubricant provides initial corrosion resistance and running-in performance. No retaining ring is included, so axial location must be handled by the housing or shaft design. The bore tolerance of +0/-0.012 mm ensures a standard interference or transition fit.

Highlights

  • Industry-standard 6208 bearing fits 40 mm shafts
  • Open closure allows easy inspection and lubrication
  • Alloy steel rings and balls handle 46 200 N dynamic load
  • 18 mm outer-ring width suits compact housings
  • ABEC 1 precision meets general-purpose requirements

Questions about this item

What shaft diameter does the 40 mm bore of this 6208 bearing fit?

The bore diameter is 40 mm with a tolerance of +0/-0.012 mm, so it fits a nominal 40 mm shaft.

Can this open 208W bearing run next to sealed bearings in the same assembly?

Yes, the open closure has no seals, so it can operate alongside sealed units as long as the lubrication system supplies Quaker Ferrocote to all positions.

How do I confirm the bearing is seated correctly after installation?

Measure the outer ring width — it should read 18 mm — and verify the outside diameter is 80 mm with a fillet radius of 1.1 mm at the corner.
