The SKF deep groove ball bearing of the RS series with C3VE suffix is a precision component designed to support moderate radial and axial loads in both directions. Its sealed construction protects it against contamination and retains lubricant, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this brand and advises you to choose the correct bearing for your application.
The designation of these bearings combines several suffixes that indicate specific characteristics. For example, in 6208-2RS1/C3VE167, the numeric prefix identifies the size and dimensional series; 2RS1 indicates that the bearing has rubber seals on both sides; C3 indicates an internal radial clearance greater than standard; and VE167 corresponds to a particular lubricant or treatment specification. Knowing these suffixes is key to selecting the right bearing. If you have doubts, send us the complete code and we will help you interpret it.
These bearings are used in a wide variety of industrial applications in Argentina, such as electric motors, pumps, fans, conveyors and agricultural machinery. Their sealing makes them ideal for environments with dust, humidity or exposure to contaminants. In food and beverage plants, where cleaning is frequent, they offer an effective barrier. They are also used in power transmission equipment and in road machinery rollers.
To correctly select a sealed deep groove ball bearing, take into account the radial and axial load it must support, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. The C3 internal clearance is recommended when there are thermal differences between inner and outer rings, as it compensates for expansion. The 2RS1 seal protects against particles and humidity, but can increase friction; if the speed is very high, evaluate alternatives. During mounting, ensure precise alignment and avoid hitting the seals. Lubrication is already incorporated and does not require additional maintenance in most cases.
Regarding equivalences, SKF sealed deep groove ball bearings can be interchanged with those of other brands that follow the same standardized dimensions and equivalent suffix designations. For example, a bearing with a 2RS suffix from another brand is usually compatible with SKF's 2RS1, although sealing or lubricant details may vary. Always verify tolerances and radial clearance before replacing. If you need assistance finding the right replacement, contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF 6208-2RS1/C3VE167 bearing?
- The SKF 6208-2RS1/C3VE167 bearing has a 40 mm bore, a 80 mm outside diameter and a 18 mm width (40 x 80 x 18 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 6208.
- What does the C3 suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
- The C3 suffix indicates that the bearing has an internal radial clearance greater than standard. This is useful when temperature differences between inner and outer rings are expected, as it prevents the clearance from becoming too small and causing overloads.
- Is this bearing lubricated from the factory?
- Yes, sealed bearings such as 2RS1 generally come pre-lubricated from the factory. The seal retains lubricant and prevents contaminants from entering, so no additional lubrication is required in most applications.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with one from another brand?
- Yes, as long as the dimensions and sealing type are equivalent. Standardized designations facilitate interchangeability, but verify radial clearance and operating conditions. If you have doubts, consult us with the original code.
