What is the equivalent of a 32008-J2-Q-C3 bearing?

The 32008-J2-Q-C3 is a 40×68×19mm tapered roller bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK HR32008J C3, NTN 4T-32008 C3, SKF 32008 J2/Q C3, Timken 32008 C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 32008-J2-Q-C3 bearing?

The 32008-J2-Q-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 40mm, outer diameter of 68mm, and width of 19mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 26.2 kN, static load rating of 16.5 kN, and weighs 178g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 6,600 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG 32008-J2-Q-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 32008-J2-Q-C3 (40×68×19mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK part number as long as the seal type (open) and clearance class (C3) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.

Technical Details & Applications

Specification variations and common equipment types.

Internal Clearance

Greater Than Normal (C3)

Increased radial internal clearance. Required when bearings operate at elevated temperatures or with tight shaft fits.

Temperature70-150°C operating temperature

Seal Type

Open (No Seal)

No seals or shields. Allows external lubrication and cooling. Lowest friction, highest speed capability.

Avoid forDirty, dusty, or wet environments. Applications without planned lubrication maintenance.

Examples

Machine tool spindles
Gearboxes with oil bath lubrication
High-speed precision equipment
