For equipment that runs continuously, the SKF deep groove ball bearing 6208/C3VE167 is a single-row option that handles both radial and axial loads. It is used in centrifugal pumps, electric motors, fans, conveyors and machine tools. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this bearing to customers across the United States and Latin America.
The code breaks down into three parts. The basic number 6208 identifies a deep groove ball bearing in the 62 series, a medium section. The C3 suffix means internal radial clearance is greater than standard, which suits high operating temperatures or fits that tighten the bearing after mounting. The VE167 combination is a manufacturer-defined execution for lubrication and sealing under specific conditions.
Correct selection starts with the fit. If the shaft or housing is press-fit, the C3 clearance helps compensate for the reduction in internal play. The VE167 sealing arrangement is designed to keep lubricant in and contaminants out, so check that it matches your environment. Lubrication must also suit the working temperature, and during mounting the shaft and support should be aligned to avoid parasitic loads that shorten service life.
When replacing this bearing, compare inner, outer and width dimensions along with load type and clearance. Suffixes for seals, cages and lubricants differ between manufacturers, so codes are not always directly interchangeable. Send the complete designation 6208/C3VE167 or your measurements and operating conditions, and the team can suggest equivalent options and help you choose.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6208/C3VE167 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6208/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 on this bearing?
- C3 indicates internal radial clearance greater than standard. It is selected when press-fit mounting reduces clearance or when operating temperatures are high, preventing the bearing from being too tight.
- Can this bearing be used in high-speed applications?
- Deep groove ball bearings are suitable for high speeds, but the limit depends on lubrication, sealing and load. Share your application data and the team can advise.
- Can I replace an SKF 6208/C3VE167 with another brand?
- Often yes, if the main dimensions and clearance match. Sealing and lubrication suffixes vary by manufacturer, so send the code and working conditions for guidance.
