Skf 608 2ZJEM Deep Groove Ball Bearing 22mm Double Shield

Product Description

The SKF 608 2ZJEM is a single-row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-speed rotational applications across a wide range of mechanical and industrial equipment. It features a 22 mm outside diameter, a round bore, and a double-shield construction that retains grease lubrication and blocks contamination without contact drag. Rated to 38,000 RPM and built with a steel cage and steel housing material, this bearing suits applications where speed, compact size, and low maintenance are priorities. Licensed HVAC techs, equipment repair technicians, and maintenance professionals commonly specify this bearing when servicing motors, fans, and small rotating assemblies.

The 608 2ZJEM fits compact motor shaft assemblies in both residential and light commercial equipment. The 608 series is a widely used dimensional standard, making this bearing a common replacement in small electric motors, blower wheel shafts, pump assemblies, and hand-tool spindles. The double-shield design eliminates the need for field re-greasing in most service intervals, which is an advantage in hard-to-access installations. ABEC-3 tolerance class suits general-purpose high-speed service where moderate precision is required.

Key Features

• Double-shield construction retains factory grease and resists contamination ingress
• Maximum rated speed of 38,000 RPM for high-speed motor and spindle applications
• ABEC-3 tolerance class for general-purpose precision service
• Steel cage and steel housing material for durability in standard operating environments
• Single-row deep groove design handles radial and moderate axial loads
• Grease-lubricated from factory - no snap ring, round bore for straightforward shaft installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement bearing for equipment using the standard 608 series dimension envelope, including small electric motors, blower assemblies, pump shafts, and compact rotating machinery that accepts a 22 mm OD single-row deep groove ball bearing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bearing press-fit procedures. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing the old bearing. Use a proper bearing press or driver tool sized to the inner or outer race - never strike the shield face directly, as this can damage the seal and contaminate the grease. Confirm shaft and housing tolerances are within the 608 series specifications before pressing the new bearing into place.
