Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 61817

The SKF 61817 deep groove ball bearing, with its compact dimensions of 85 × 110 × 13 mm, offers a space-saving bearing solution for predominantly radial loads.

The 61817 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from SKF’s standard bearing steel (100Cr6). Thanks to its small cross-section, with an inside diameter of 85 mm and an outside diameter of 110 mm, the component saves valuable installation space. As an open design without an integrated seal, the bearing operates with low friction and is suitable for designs where lubricants are supplied from the outside or where an external seal is fitted.

What is the 61817 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

The 61817 deep-groove ball bearing is primarily designed to accommodate radial forces where radial installation space is limited. Typical applications include general mechanical engineering, gearboxes or drive elements with large shaft diameters and a slim housing design. With suitable lubrication, the bearing operates reliably within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees. You can integrate this component wherever lightweight construction and low friction losses are key considerations.

What are the distinctive features of the open design with a sheet steel cage?

This bearing features a robust sheet steel cage that guides the rolling elements evenly. As no abiding sealing washers are fitted, rotational resistance is minimal. The standard radial bearing clearance promotes smooth running under normal operating conditions. With the standard tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1), the product meets common requirements for concentricity and dimensional accuracy. When designing the application, ensure a clean environment, as dirt particles can enter the open bearing races unhindered.
