Frequently asked questions about 51208
What does the open design mean on a 51208 bearing?
The 51208 (40mm x 68mm x 19mm) is supplied open — without seals or shields — so lubrication and relubrication come from the surrounding housing or an external system. Compare seal types before deciding on the replacement.
Does the 51208 come with C3 clearance?
This directory lists the 51208 with CN (Standard). C3 (increased internal clearance) versions are common for higher operating temperatures, higher speeds, or press-fit arrangements — specify the required clearance on your RFQ so the quotation matches the application. Read the clearance guide.
The 51208 is listed as a 40×68×19mm thrust ball bearing in open configuration. Part of the 51200 series, the directory records chrome steel gcr15 and P0 (ABEC-1) precision grade for RFQ verification.
The 51208 uses the same part number designation across SKF, FAG, NSK, NTN, and Timken catalogs. This is a standardized thrust ball bearing with industry-standard boundary dimensions. Confirm the housing style, shaft diameter, and seal type before ordering a replacement.
