The SKF 2208EKTN9C3 is a high-quality self-aligning ball bearing designed to accommodate angular misalignment, making it suitable for applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors are present. It features a 40 mm tapered bore (1:12 taper), an 80 mm outer diameter, and a 23 mm width. The bearing is equipped with a durable polyamide cage (TN9) for reduced friction, lower noise, and lighter weight, and has a C3 internal clearance, which is greater than normal. This increased clearance is ideal for applications with higher operating temperatures or where shaft expansion is expected, ensuring optimal performance and extended service life in various industrial machinery.
