Decoding SKF W 608-2RS1/C3
- W 60Series
- Stainless steel deep groove ball bearings, W 60 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 8Bore
- Bore: 8 mm.
- 2RS1/C3Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
W 608 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF W 608-2RS1/C3 measures 8 mm across the bore and 22 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 7 mm (8 x 22 x 7 mm).

When moisture, washdowns or aggressive media are part of daily operation, a standard bearing may not last. SKF stainless steel deep groove ball bearings are built for these conditions, handling radial and axial loads while resisting corrosion. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line as part of its bearing catalog for plants in the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code helps you order the right variant. The W prefix tells you the bearing is stainless steel. The basic number, such as 608 or 6204, sets the size and load capacity according to international standards. Suffixes with RS indicate rubber seals on one or both sides, which keep contaminants out and lubricant in. The /C part defines internal clearance, either normal or increased. W 608-2RS1/C3 and W 6204-2RS1/C3 are typical examples.
These bearings fit equipment where corrosion resistance matters: food processing lines that are cleaned often, chemical pumps and agitators moving aggressive fluids, pharmaceutical filling and packaging machines, industrial washers, and any humid or vapor-heavy area.
Selection depends on your operating conditions. The 2RS1 seal gives good protection against dust and moisture, but if you need higher speed, a single-seal or open configuration may be better. Choose C3 clearance when thermal expansion or interference fits are expected. During mounting, keep shaft and housing aligned and do not strike the seals. Use grease compatible with stainless steel to support service life.
For interchangeability, SKF stainless bearings can replace other brands that share the same standardized dimensions, but confirm that material and sealing match the application. The W designation is SKF-specific; other makers may use different codes. Check compatibility tables and review tolerances and internal clearance before substituting.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF W 608-2RS1/C3 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF W 608-2RS1/C3 measures 8 mm across the bore and 22 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 7 mm (8 x 22 x 7 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation W 608.
- What does the C3 suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
- C3 indicates radial internal clearance greater than normal. It is specified when the bearing runs at elevated temperatures or with interference fits, so expansion does not reduce clearance too much.
- Is this bearing suitable for frequent washing?
- Yes. Its stainless steel construction and rubber seals handle water and cleaning agents well, making it a common choice for daily-washed equipment in food plants, provided lubrication is maintained.
- Can I replace a standard bearing with a stainless steel one?
- Yes, if dimensions and internal clearance are compatible. Stainless steel offers better corrosion resistance, though load capacity may be slightly lower. Check the specifications or ask us for guidance.
