Product Overview: The 6068 Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The 6068 bearing is a large, robust single-row deep groove ball bearing from our 6000 Series, designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. With precise dimensions of 340x520x82mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this bearing is engineered to handle significant radial and moderate axial loads in both directions. Its deep raceway grooves and close conformity between the raceways and balls provide exceptional load-carrying capacity and high-speed performance, making it a reliable choice for demanding operational environments. As a fundamental component in heavy machinery, the 6068 ensures smooth and efficient power transmission.
Our commitment to quality ensures that every 6068 bearing meets stringent industry standards. This versatile bearing is a cornerstone of our Deep Groove Ball Bearings collection, offering a cost-effective and low-maintenance solution for a wide range of large-scale industrial equipment.
