What is the equivalent of a 6008LLU bearing?

The 6008LLU is a 40×68×15mm deep groove ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: FAG 6008-2RSR, NSK 6008DDU, NTN 6008LLU, Timken 6008-2RS. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 6008LLU bearing?

The 6008LLU bearing has a bore diameter of 40mm, outer diameter of 68mm, and width of 15mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 17.8 kN, static load rating of 11 kN, and weighs 185g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 14,000 rpm.

Can I replace a SKF 6008LLU with a FAG equivalent?

Yes. SKF and FAG bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 6008LLU (40×68×15mm) can be replaced with the equivalent FAG part number as long as the seal type (2RS) and clearance class (CN) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.
