Product Overview: The 6408 Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The 6408 bearing is a robust, single-row deep groove ball bearing designed for high performance in demanding industrial applications. With precise dimensions of 40mm bore diameter, 110mm outer diameter, and 27mm thickness, it is a key component in our 6400 Series. This series is known for its heavier cross-section compared to the 6200 and 6300 series, making it exceptionally well-suited for applications requiring higher load-carrying capacity. As a fundamental part of our Deep Groove Ball Bearings collection, the 6408 is engineered to handle both radial and axial loads in either direction, offering versatility and reliability.
Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, the 6408 ensures durability and a long service life, even under continuous operation. Its simple yet effective design allows for high-speed operation with minimal friction and noise. This bearing is a staple in a wide array of machinery, providing essential support for rotating shafts and promoting efficient mechanical power transmission.
