Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6314 -2Z

The SKF 6314-2Z deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 70x150x35 mm and cover plates on both sides, provides protection against dirt particles in industrial applications.

The 6314-2Z deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing from SKF’s Explorer performance class. It primarily supports radial loads and also withstands axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6), the bearing is characterised by dimensionally stable raceways. With a bore of 70 mm, an outside diameter of 150 mm and a width of 35 mm, the roller bearing is suitable for industrial applications involving medium to high loads.

What loads and mounting conditions characterise the bearing?

This bearing size is used in industrial shaft mountings where high radial forces and moderate axial forces occur. The design is intended for guiding rotating shafts with uniform load distribution. The bearing has a cylindrical outer ring without a flange or groove and can be fitted directly into housing recesses. As no electrical insulation is integrated, it is advisable to take into account possible current paths in the bearing area when used in electrically stressed systems.

What advantages do the 2Z cover plates offer during operation?

The cover plates on both sides, made from profiled steel sheet, act as non-contact gap seals. They help to keep foreign matter out of the bearing interior and ensure that the lubricant applied at the factory remains in place. As the gap is non-contact, no additional frictional resistance is generated, which keeps heat build-up to a minimum during continuous operation. In combination with the sheet steel cage and the standard radial bearing clearance, this variant covers a temperature range from –20 to +120 degrees.
