Manufacturer Ratings
Load-rating symbols are printed as each manufacturer writes them in its own catalogue, so the same quantity can carry a different symbol from brand to brand.
| Brand | Dynamic Load Rating | Static Load Rating | Fatigue Load Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| SKF 6038 | 195 kN | 216 kN | 5.85 kN |
| NSK 6038 | 207 kN | 201 kN | — |
| Schaeffler (FAG) 6038-M | 216 kN | 220 kN | 9.4 kN |
| NTN 6038 | 218 kN | 215 kN | 10.1 kN |
| Timken 6038 | 172 kN | 200 kN | — |
Speed Ratings
Speed limits depend on sealing and lubrication, and definitions differ by manufacturer. The figures below are for the open version of this bearing. Always confirm the exact variant in the manufacturer's table.
Sealed and shielded versions such as 2Z or 2RS have their own pages; a machined brass cage writing gets its own ↳ row where the catalogue prints a different limit.
| Brand | Grease open / shielded | Oil open | Reference | Limiting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SKF 6038 | — | — | 4,800 r/min | 3,000 r/min |
| ↳ 6038 M | — | — | — | 3,800 r/min |
| NSK 6038 | 2,000 r/min | 2,400 r/min | — | — |
| Schaeffler (FAG) 6038-M | — | — | 3,100 r/min | 3,850 r/min |
| NTN 6038 | 2,100 r/min | 2,500 r/min | — | — |
| Timken 6038 | 3,000 r/min | 4,300 r/min | — | — |
↳ rows list a variant's own limiting speed (a shielded version, or a machined brass cage writing) when it differs from the open / standard version; all other figures are shared.
