What is the equivalent of a 1208CG bearing?

The 1208CG is a 40×80×18mm self-aligning ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: FAG 6208, NSK 6208, NTN 6208, Timken 6208. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 1208CG bearing?

The 1208CG bearing has a bore diameter of 40mm, outer diameter of 80mm, and width of 18mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 32.5 kN, static load rating of 19 kN, and weighs 352g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 11,000 rpm.

Can I replace a SKF 1208CG with a FAG equivalent?

Yes. SKF and FAG bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 1208CG (40×80×18mm) can be replaced with the equivalent FAG part number as long as the seal type (open) and clearance class (CN) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.
