Decoding SKF 6208-2RS1/C3VE167
- 62Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 62 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 08Bore
- Bore 40 mm (08 × 5).
- 2RS1/C3VE167Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6208 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 6208-2RS1/C3VE167 measures 40 mm across the bore and 80 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 18 mm (40 x 80 x 18 mm).

The SKF deep groove ball bearing in the RS series with C3VE suffix handles moderate radial and axial loads in both directions. Its sealed design keeps lubricant in and contaminants out, so it works well in tough industrial settings. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this brand and can help you pick the right bearing for your equipment.
The part number tells you a lot about the bearing. Take 6208-2RS1/C3VE167: the digits at the start give the size and dimensional series; 2RS1 means rubber seals on both sides; C3 means internal radial clearance is larger than standard; and VE167 refers to a specific lubricant or treatment. Understanding these suffixes helps you match the bearing to your application. If you are unsure, send us the full code and we will break it down for you.
These bearings show up in many industrial settings across the United States and Latin America: electric motors, pumps, fans, conveyors, and agricultural machinery. The seals make them a good fit where dust, moisture, or other contaminants are present. In food and beverage plants with frequent washdowns, they provide a reliable barrier. You will also find them in power transmission equipment and in rollers on road machinery.
When choosing a sealed deep groove ball bearing, consider the radial and axial loads, the speed, and the environment. C3 clearance is a good choice when the inner and outer rings see different temperatures, because it allows for expansion. The 2RS1 seal keeps out particles and moisture but adds some friction; for very high speeds, look at other options. During mounting, make sure alignment is precise and avoid striking the seals. Most sealed bearings come pre-lubricated and need no extra maintenance.
SKF sealed deep groove ball bearings can often be replaced with equivalent bearings from other brands that follow the same standard dimensions and suffix system. For instance, a bearing with a 2RS suffix from another maker is usually interchangeable with SKF's 2RS1, though seal or lubricant details may differ. Always check tolerances and radial clearance before swapping. If you need help finding a replacement, contact us.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6208-2RS1/C3VE167 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6208-2RS1/C3VE167 measures 40 mm across the bore and 80 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 18 mm (40 x 80 x 18 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6208.
- What does the C3 suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
- C3 indicates that the bearing has greater internal radial clearance than standard. This helps when temperature differences between inner and outer rings could otherwise reduce clearance and cause excessive load.
- Is this bearing lubricated from the factory?
- Yes, sealed bearings such as 2RS1 typically come pre-lubricated. The seal holds the lubricant in and keeps contaminants out, so additional lubrication is usually not needed.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with one from another brand?
- Yes, if the dimensions and sealing type are equivalent. Standard designations make interchangeability easier, but always verify radial clearance and operating conditions. If you are unsure, send us the original code and we will help.
