Timken 208W Radial Ball Bearing 6208 40 mm Bore Collectible

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.
