How the 6080 model number is decoded
In the 6000-series (diameter series 0 of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 6080 carries bore code 80 = 400 mm. Outside diameter 600 mm and width 90 mm come from the ISO 15 boundary-dimensions general plan. With no seal suffix the bearing is open: no shields or seals are fitted and lubrication is supplied by the application. For normal-load mounting with a rotating inner ring on a 400 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a m6 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude. In the NTN catalogue this open execution carries the bare designation; protected variants are ordered separately with suffixes ZZ (shields), LLB/LLF (non-contact seals), LLH (low-torque contact seal) and LLU (contact seal).
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- industrial fans and blowers
- hoists and winches
- heavy conveyors
- pulp and paper machinery
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear from dust and dirt ingress through the open arrangement
- lubricant starvation when no regreasing interval is maintained
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling after the rated L10 life is exceeded
- brinelling from static overload or hammering during mounting
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount this 400 mm bore bearing by heating the inner ring (induction heater, max 120 °C) — never drive it home through the outer ring or balls, that brinells the raceways.
- The 60xx extra-light section at 400 mm bore uses a smaller 600 mm OD than a 6280; load ratings are lower, so do not replace a failed 62-series bearing with a 60-series without re-rating the load.
- The open 6080 has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 400×600×90 mm raceway, so specify a sealed arrangement for dusty or washdown duty.
- Open bearings tolerate the highest speeds in the 6000-series but need a defined regreasing interval; run-to-failure lubrication is the dominant cause of early failure in open 6080 units.
- Deep-groove ball bearings tolerate only minutes of misalignment; if the 600 mm housing cannot be aligned, switch to a self-aligning type rather than shimming 6080.
- The open 6080 has no integral sealing; in the NTN 2203 catalogue the protected variants carry suffixes ZZ (non-contact steel shields), LLB/LLF (non-contact rubber seals), LLU (contact rubber seals) and LLH (a low-torque contact seal with higher speed capability than LLU). A JR or JRX suffix (as printed for some thin-section sizes) denotes a pressed-steel cage, not a seal.
- The 565/825 kN load ratings, 26.9 kN fatigue load limit Cu and 87600 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 6080; this seal/size combination has no counterpart from another catalogue on this site, so the page rests on a single manufacturer source — internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting in a rated drive.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 6080 bearing?
A 6080 deep-groove ball bearing has a 400 mm bore, 600 mm outer diameter and 90 mm width (15.748 × 23.622 × 3.543 in), per ISO 15 boundary dimensions. It is an open bearing with no seals or shields.
How does the 6080 bore code work?
The last two digits of 6080 are bore code 80, giving 80 × 5 = 400 mm bore. The 600 mm outside diameter and 90 mm width follow the ISO 15 diameter series, not the bore code alone.
What does no suffix on 6080 mean?
A bare 6080 designation means open: no shields or seals, normal CN radial clearance and P0 normal tolerance unless further suffixes are ordered. The application must supply and retain the lubrication.
How does the 6000 compare with other series at the same 400 mm bore?
The second digit is the diameter series: 60 is the smallest standard section (600×90 mm, 100.0 mm radial section) at 400 mm bore — below 62/63/64 in load capacity, for light loads in compact spaces.
What is the NTN designation and catalogue data for 6080?
In the NTN Ball and Roller Bearings catalogue (CAT.No.2203-3/E, 2024) this size is listed as 6080 — the open (unsealed) execution, 400×600×90 mm per ISO 15. Quoted values: C 565 kN, C0 825 kN, Cu 26.9 kN, mass 87600 g. Grease limiting speed 930 rpm. The industry-neutral page spelling 6080 follows the seal-suffix convention used across this site, not NTN order-number spelling.
