Frequently asked questions about 6208-2RS
What does the 2RS rubber-seal design mean on a 6208-2RS bearing?
The 6208-2RS (40mm x 80mm x 18mm) is sealed on both sides with rubber (NBR) contact seals, so the grease is retained and contamination is kept out. A 2RS bearing should not be cleaned or relubricated in service. Compare seal types before deciding on the replacement.
Which part numbers are equivalent to 6208-2RS?
Equivalent designations include 6208-2RS1, 6208-2RSR, 6208DDU, 6208LLU, 208PP, 6208VV, 6208-2NSL, 6208.2RSR , and others. These are brand-specific numbers for the same ISO boundary dimensions as the 6208-2RS (40mm x 80mm x 18mm). The basic number matching does not confirm the complete specification — compare seal type, clearance, precision, cage, and lubrication suffix before ordering.
Does the 6208-2RS come with C3 clearance?
This directory lists the 6208-2RS 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 6208-2RS is listed as a 40×80×18mm deep groove ball bearing in double rubber sealed configuration. Part of the 6200 series, the directory records chrome steel gcr15 and P0 (ABEC-1) precision grade for RFQ verification.
The 6208-2RS bearing cross-references to SKF 6208-2RS1, FAG 6208-2RSR, NSK 6208DDU and NTN 6208LLU. This means you can replace an SKF equivalent, FAG alternative, NSK cross reference, or NTN interchange part with the same ISO boundary dimensions. Compare the full specification table and designation suffixes before ordering, especially the seal type (2RS vs ZZ) and internal clearance (C3 vs CN).
