Speed Ratings
Speed limits depend on sealing and lubrication, and definitions differ by manufacturer. Contact-sealed variants are normally greased for life and run slower. Always confirm the exact variant in the manufacturer's table.
| Brand | Grease open / shielded | Oil open | Reference | Limiting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SKF 6048 | — | — | 3,600 r/min | 2,200 r/min |
| ↳ 6048 M | — | — | — | 3,000 r/min |
| NSK 6048 | 1,500 r/min | 1,900 r/min | — | — |
| NTN 6048 | 1,700 r/min | 2,000 r/min | — | — |
| Timken 6048M | 2,300 r/min | 3,300 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.
