What is the equivalent of a 1308E-TG bearing?

The 1308E-TG is a 40×96×21mm self-aligning ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: FAG 1308-TVH, NSK 1308, NTN 1308, Timken 1308. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 1308E-TG bearing?

The 1308E-TG bearing has a bore diameter of 40mm, outer diameter of 96mm, and width of 21mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 28.7 kN, static load rating of 13.3 kN, and weighs 518g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 6,375 rpm.

Can I replace a SKF 1308E-TG with a FAG equivalent?

Yes. SKF and FAG bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 1308E-TG (40×96×21mm) 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.
