How it is worked out

Type6 → deep-groove ball bearing
Series68 → series 68 · ultra-thin · dimension series 18
Bore code08 → 08 × 5 = 40 mm

d = bore code × 5 mm (04+) · 00 = 10 · 01 = 12 · 02 = 15 · 03 = 17 mm

Worth knowing

In inches: 1.575 × 2.047 × 0.276 in. A metric bearing: inch-series bearings (R8, 1600…) do not fit the same shaft.
2RS · 2RS1 · 2RSH · DDU · LLU: Rubber seal on both sides, greased for life. Best against dirt and water, slightly more drag. The same bearing by brand: SKF 6808-2RSH or -2RS1, FAG 6808-2RSR, NSK 6808DDU, NTN 6808LLU.
ZZ · 2Z · 2ZR: Metal shield on both sides. Less friction and more speed than a seal, but not watertight. SKF 6808-2Z, FAG 6808-2ZR, NSK and NTN 6808ZZ.
RS · Z: Seal (RS) or shield (Z) on one side only, the other side open: for bearings fed oil or grease by the machine.
C3: Internal clearance larger than normal. Standard on electric motors and wherever the shaft runs hot or the fit is tight. Replace a C3 with a C3.
Interchangeable?: Yes. ISO 15 fixes the bore, outside diameter and width, so a 6808 from any maker fits the same shaft and housing. Seals, cage, clearance and quality are what differ.
