The 2208 is a self-aligning ball bearing with a 40 mm bore, an 80 mm outside diameter and a width of 23 mm. Self-aligning ball bearings have two rows of balls on a spherical outer raceway, so the shaft can tilt a little without harming the bearing. They carry light to medium radial loads and some axial load in both directions.
The last two digits of the number, 08, give the bore: 08 × 5 = 40 mm. Match the full designation, including any letters after the number, when you replace a bearing.
For the same 40 mm bore we also supply the 1208 (40 × 80 × 18 mm), the 1308 (40 × 90 × 23 mm) and the 2308 (40 × 90 × 33 mm). They fit the same shaft but have a different outside diameter or width, so they need a different housing: check both before you order.
Why 2208 prices vary
- Genuine or copy: fakes sell far below the real price and fail early. We sell only genuine bearings.
- Brand and origin: each maker, and each country of manufacture, is priced differently.
- Version: sealed, shielded, C3, stainless and low-noise versions cost more than the open bearing.
- Quantity: bulk and repeat orders are priced lower.
So we quote today’s price for each brand rather than list one number. Ask for the 2208 price on WhatsApp.

Is your 2208 genuine?
Counterfeit bearings are sold in many sizes and brands, including the 2208. Check that the marking on the ring matches the box exactly, that the brand’s own suffix style is used, and be wary of prices far below the market. How to spot a fake bearing.

Questions
2208 bearing: frequently asked
What size is a 2208 bearing?
A 2208 measures 40 mm bore × 80 mm outside diameter × 23 mm width.
Which brands can you supply for the 2208?
We quote SKF and FAG for this size, and other brands on request. Send the full number of the old bearing, including any letters after it, and the quantity.
How much can a self-aligning ball bearing tilt?
Only a small angle, which the makers give in their catalogues. If your shaft tilts more, or the load is heavy, ask us about a spherical roller bearing.
What load can a 2208 bearing carry?
SKF rates the 2208 ETN9 (its number for the 2208) at a dynamic load rating (C) of 31.9 kN and a static load rating (C0) of 10 kN, with a limiting speed of 11,000 r/min. Other brands publish similar figures. How much load it can carry in service also depends on speed, lubrication and the life you need.
