The SKF RSH/C ELHT series deep groove ball bearing is a single row bearing with contact seals and high-temperature lubrication. It is used in applications with moderate heat and the need to retain lubricant, such as electric motors, fans and transmission equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the right variant for your equipment.
The designation of this series is read in parts. The letters RSH indicate nitrile contact seals on both sides; the slash separates the C suffix that identifies a special internal clearance, and ELHT indicates high-temperature grease lubrication for that service. The example 608-2RSH/C2ELHT23 shows the complete structure: diameter and series, sealing, clearance and lubricant. Knowing these codes allows you to order the exact bearing without confusing open, sealed or different-clearance variants.
In Argentine industry, these bearings appear in low- and medium-power electric motors, centrifugal fans, water pumps, small compressors and transmission equipment in food and textile plants. They are also found in machine tools and packaging equipment where the environment has elevated temperature. The combination of sealing and high-temperature lubricant makes them suitable for continuous service with spaced maintenance, provided the working temperature is within the range specified by the manufacturer.
To select well, take into account the actual working temperature, the type of load and the speed. The RSH seal protects against dust and moisture, but adds some friction; if the equipment runs very fast, evaluate an open or shield variant. The C clearance and ELHT lubrication must be respected if the original equipment specifies them. During mounting, check the alignment of the supports, use suitable tools so as not to damage the seals and avoid striking the outer ring when installing.
When replacing, deep groove ball bearings have equivalents between brands according to dimensions and suffixes. The same size can come with different seals, shields or clearance, so the diameter alone is not enough: the complete code must be compared. If you cannot find the exact reference, consult us with the original designation and the housing dimensions. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you on equivalent alternatives within the brands we carry.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the RSH suffix mean on this bearing?
- RSH indicates that the bearing has nitrile contact seals on both sides. These seals retain the grease and block the entry of dust and moisture, which is why they are used in dirty environments or where liquids are present. They are not metal shields: they are flexible seals that rub against the inner ring.
- Can I replace a bearing with C clearance with a standard clearance one?
- It is not advisable without evaluating the application. The C internal clearance changes the play between balls and raceways, and affects load distribution and working temperature. If the original equipment specifies it, it is best to keep it. Consult us with the part number and service conditions to determine the best alternative.
- How do I request a quote for this SKF bearing?
- Write to us on WhatsApp with the complete part number, for example 608-2RSH/C2ELHT23, and the quantity you need. If you have doubts about the variant, send a photo of the old bearing or the housing. We will reply with the available option and arrange the quote with no obligation.
