For maintenance and purchasing teams, the SKF deep groove ball bearing 6208-2RS1TN9/C3VE167 is a single-row component built to handle radial and axial loads in industrial equipment. Its sealed design and C3 clearance make it a practical choice for continuous-duty machinery. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this bearing to customers across the United States and Latin America, and our team can help you confirm the right fit for your application.
The code 6208-2RS1TN9/C3VE167 breaks down into several key specifications. The 62 series denotes a medium cross-section. The 2RS1 suffix means rubber seals on both sides, while TN9 indicates a polyamide cage. C3 stands for radial internal clearance greater than normal, and VE167 refers to a specific lubricant or treatment. Reading these suffixes correctly helps you match the bearing to your operating conditions.
These bearings are common in electric motors, pumps, fans, conveyors, and machine tools. Their ability to support combined loads and run at high speeds makes them suitable for equipment that operates continuously. In food processing, textile, automotive, and metalworking plants, they are frequently used for both replacements and new installations.
When selecting a bearing, consider the sealing and clearance. The 2RS1 seal protects against dust and moisture, which is beneficial in dirty or humid environments. C3 clearance is advisable when thermal expansion occurs due to high speeds or temperature differences between the inner and outer rings. Sealed versions come pre-lubricated for life, so relubrication is usually unnecessary unless specified otherwise. Proper shaft alignment and fit are critical to avoid premature failure.
If you need an equivalent from another manufacturer, compare the main dimensions, seal type, and clearance class. Not all suffixes are interchangeable between brands, so verifying the complete designation is essential. Our team can assist you in finding a suitable alternative.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6208-2RS1TN9/C3VE167 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6208-2RS1TN9/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 this bearing?
- C3 indicates an internal radial clearance greater than normal. It is used when thermal expansion from high speeds or temperature differences between rings could otherwise cause excessive preload.
- Does this bearing come lubricated from the factory?
- Yes, sealed versions such as 2RS1 are pre-lubricated for life. Relubrication is not recommended except in very specific applications. Contact us if you need compatible lubricant options.
- How do I request a replacement from another manufacturer?
- Send us the complete code and main dimensions. We verify sealing, clearance, and cage to ensure interchangeability. Not all suffixes match between brands, so confirming the designation is important.
