Review on πŸ”§ NTN Bearing 608ZZC3 EM Clearance: High-Quality, Long-Lasting Performance. by Matt Welch

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Do not use NTN bearings

Wrong bore diameter and made in Taiwan The first set of these bearings was installed on my bedroom window air conditioner fan motor. They went straight in and worked like a dream. While servicing my window unit in the dining room, I spotted a whistling bearing. When I disassembled the fan motor I found that it required the same bearings. No problem, I "reordered" and they arrived quickly, but upon examining them I found they were stamped 608Z and not ZZ as advertised; NTN; Taiwan! Long story short, they weren't 8mm in diameter and I destroyed both bearings and nearly damaged my anchor. Domestic Racing says 608ZZ 938PX2. If you get one of these, send it back - it's junk. I couldn't imagine spending $8 on a piece of Taiwanese crap!

Pros
  • Single row to carry radial loads
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
