Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6417

The SKF 6417 deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 85x210x52 mm, offers a robust solution for mechanical drives subject to high radial forces.

The 6417 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing. The bearing is manufactured by SKF and is primarily designed to accommodate high radial forces as well as axial forces acting in both directions. Thanks to its open design without integrated seal rings, it is suitable for installation spaces where lubrication is provided externally via oil circulation systems or grease filling.

In which industrial applications is the 6417 deep groove ball bearing used?

The 6417 deep groove ball bearing is primarily used in bearing arrangements subject to high radial loads and axial forces acting in both directions. Designs with an 85 mm shaft diameter utilise the bearing’s dimensions at moderate to high speeds. Under radial loads, the deep raceway geometry guides the rolling elements stably and keeps mechanical vibrations in the overall system to a minimum.

Design engineers utilise the standardised tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1). This dimensional accuracy facilitates precise fitting onto cylindrical shaft seats and supports scheduled replacement during servicing.

What technical features characterise the open design of the 6417?

The open design of the 6417 bearing allows direct access of lubricant to the raceways and rolling elements. This facilitates use in recirculating lubrication systems, as lubricating oil can circulate unhindered and dissipate the friction heat generated. A sturdy sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly along their raceways and reduces internal friction.

As there are no contacting sealing lips, the component operates with low friction within a temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees. Both bearing rings and the rolling elements are made of standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6), which contributes to high strength and dimensional stability.
