SKF Plain Deep-Groove Ball Bearing, 40mm ID, 68mm OD - 6008-2RS1 This SKF deep-groove ball bearing efficiently handles both axial and radial loads moving at high speeds. The high-quality balls and smooth raceway keep friction to a minimum, reducing noise and vibration for a quiet work environment. The balls, rings, cage and raceway are all built with stainless steel, so they won't rust when exposed to moisture or other corrosive media. This makes them especially useful in demanding industrial environments, such as food production or chemical and hydrocarbon processing. • Dynamic load rating of 17.8kN to support high rotational force
• Heat stabilised up to +120°C, allowing use at high temperatures
• Limiting speed of 6300rpm (rotations per minute) for use in high-speed applications Applications • Paper production and printing
• Bottling plants
• Dairy production Does this bearing need a lot of maintenance? The bearing is virtually maintenance-free thanks to its two synthetic rubber seals. The seals retain lubricant inside the bearing and prevent leakage, meaning you don't have to re-grease the bearing frequently. They also protect against the entry of moisture and debris that can interfere with the proper functioning of the bearing.
