Carries radial loads and moderate axial loads on a single row of balls running between deep-groove raceways, giving the bearing a compact envelope of 40.0 mm bore, 68.0 mm outside diameter and 15.0 mm width at 0.189 kg mass. Shields on both sides protect the raceway and balls, the cage is a steel sheet metal type (JN), and the internal geometry allows a limiting speed of 12400.0 1/min with a reference speed of 10600.0 1/min. The C3 radial internal clearance (Group 3) compensates for the fit tightness and thermal expansion that occur once the bearing is mounted and running, so it suits shaft-and-housing combinations with tighter interference fits than a standard clearance bearing would tolerate. The shields retain the factory-applied grease and keep coarse contaminants out, so relubrication needs are reduced, though the seal design is not intended for heavy washdown or high-contamination exposure. Direct dimensional and constructional equivalents are SKF 6008-2Z/C3, NSK 6008ZZC3 and NTN 6008ZZC3.
