SKF 308-ZNR Deep groove ball bearing with filling slots and integral sealing

Single row deep groove ball bearings with filling slots, a snap ring, and shields on one or both sides, accommodate more balls than standard deep groove ball bearings. They are of a simple, yet versatile, design and are robust in operation, requiring little maintenance. They can accommodate radial and axial loads in both directions. They have a higher radial load carrying capacity than the corresponding bearings without filling slots but have a limited axial load carrying capacity due to the filling slots. The snap ring, fitted in an annular groove in the outer ring, facilitates axial location of the bearings within their housings. The integral sealing can significantly prolong bearing service life because it keeps lubricant in the bearings and contaminants out.
