The ESAB 0190725308 Bearing is a high-specification replacement component designed to restore the smooth operation of your ESAB welding equipment. Manufactured by SKF, the world's premier bearing manufacturer, this specific model (6208-2RS1/C3WT) is engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of industrial environments. Whether used in wire feed mechanisms, motors, or other rotating assemblies within your welding setup, this bearing ensures minimal friction and maximum longevity.
This is not a generic off-the-shelf bearing; it features specific enhancements tailored for performance. The 2RS1 suffix indicates that the bearing is fitted with sheet steel reinforced contact seals made of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) on both sides. This provides superior retention of lubricant and exclusion of contaminants like metal dust, welding fumes, and moisture, which are common in fabrication shops.
Furthermore, the C3 clearance specification means the bearing has an internal radial clearance greater than 'Normal'. This is critical for applications where the bearing inner ring becomes hotter than the outer ring—a common occurrence in electric motors and high-duty cycle welding machinery—allowing for thermal expansion without seizing. The WT (Wide Temperature) grease fill extends the operating range significantly, ensuring the lubricant maintains its viscosity and protective properties from extremely cold startups down to -40°C up to high operating heats of +160°C.
As a genuine ESAB spare part, this bearing guarantees dimensional accuracy (40mm ID, 80mm OD, 18mm Width) for a drop-in fit. Using OEM-specified bearings prevents premature failure of associated components like shafts and housings. The unit comes pre-lubricated for life, meaning no additional greasing is required upon installation, simplifying your maintenance routine.
