FAG 208-Z Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing 40mm Bore One-Shield

The FAG 208-Z is a single-row deep groove ball bearing with one steel shield, engineered to deliver enhanced radial load performance in a compact metric envelope. Part of FAG's trusted 200-series bearing line, the 208-Z meets ISO and DIN quality standards and is manufactured by Schaeffler Technologies, one of the world's leading bearing producers with roots dating back to 1883.

This bearing incorporates filling slots in both the inner and outer rings, allowing more balls to be loaded than in a standard deep groove ball bearing. The result is a significantly higher radial load carrying capacity, making the 208-Z well suited for applications where radial loads are the primary concern. The single steel shield (Z suffix) on one side provides protection against dust and light contamination while keeping lubricant retained, helping to extend service life in moderately demanding environments.
