What these specs mean in practice:

Precision Class: ABEC 1 / P0, standard tolerance. Internal Clearance: CN, normal. Cage Material: Glass-fibre reinforced polyamide PA66. Cage Type: Solid moulded window cage. Lubricant: Grease, filled on assembly. Dynamic Load Rating: 51 kN (11,465 lbf). Static Load Rating: 36.5 kN. Limiting Speed: 8,900 rpm. Max Temperature: 110 °C. Min Temperature: -30 °C. Item Weight: 1.30 lbs. Harmonization Code: 8482.10.50.68. Two rows of balls set at opposing 30° contact angles carry thrust in both directions and resist tilting moments, so a single 3208 does the work of a back-to-back pair in one envelope. The contact lip seals retain the factory grease charge and exclude contamination. The X-life internals raise the dynamic rating over the standard execution.

Mounting data:

Axial location: both directions from a single seat. Outer ring: plain, no snap-ring groove.

Quantity and configuration:

Unit Quantity: 1 Pc. One complete double-row bearing with solid inner and outer rings.

Interchange guidance:

Cross-References: SKF 3208 A-2RS1TN9 and NSK 3208B-2RSR, both sealed double-row angular contact bearings on the same 40 x 80 x 30.2 mm envelope. The open FAG 3208-BD-XL-TVH shares the envelope and the internals with a different closure (related).

Frequently asked questions:

Does it take thrust in both directions?

Yes. Two rows at opposing 30° contact angles carry thrust both ways.

What does XL mean?

FAG X-life, an upgraded execution of the standard 3208-B.
