Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6217 -2RS1

The SKF 6217-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 85x150x28 mm, offers reliable protection against contamination under predominantly radial loads.

The 6217-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing from SKF’s Explorer performance class. This version has a bore of 85 mm, an outside diameter of 150 mm and a width of 28 mm. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, this design accommodates radial loads as well as axial forces in both directions. The lip seals fitted on both sides protect the bearing interior against the ingress of solid contaminants and moisture.

What are the key features of the 6217-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing?

This rolling bearing is designed for rotating shafts with a diameter of 85 mm and corresponding housing bores of 150 mm. The sealed design proves particularly effective in bearing locations where dirt particles or moisture may be present. A sturdy sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements along the raceway with minimal vibration. Within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees, the component remains operational even under fluctuating thermal conditions.

What is the function of the 2RS1 seal fitted on both sides?

The designation 2RS1 stands for abiding sealing discs fitted on both sides. The sealing lips of these seals make direct contact with the inner ring, retaining the factory-applied lubricant inside the bearing. Thanks to the grease filling, regular relubrication is not required during normal operation. With the standard radial bearing clearance and the standard tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1), the component can be fitted precisely into standardised housing and shaft seats.
