Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6017

The SKF 6017 single-row deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 85x130x22 mm, provides reliable support for predominantly radial loads.

This open deep-groove ball bearing 6017 accommodates both radial and axial forces in both directions. SKF manufactures this version in the Explorer performance class from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6. A guided sheet steel cage keeps the rolling elements spaced apart and ensures smooth ball rotation. As the design does not feature integrated sealing washers, the component is particularly suitable for environments with external enclosures, oil bath operation or separate lubrication.

In which bearing arrangements does the 6017 deep groove ball bearing prove its worth?

Its use is particularly recommended for shafts with a diameter of 85 mm that require high speeds and uniform radial guidance. The absence of abiding seals keeps the friction torque low, which limits heating during continuous operation. In enclosed housing designs, the open design allows direct access for lubricant. The dimensional stability of the rolling bearing steel used is maintained at operating temperatures ranging from –20 to +120 degrees.

What are the advantages of dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6?

Manufacture to tolerance class P6 features tighter dimensional tolerances for the bore, outer diameter and width than the standard tolerance PN. This allows the bearing seat on the shaft and in the housing to be adjusted more precisely, which can reduce vibrations. Together with the standard radial bearing clearance, this results in a balanced operating clearance designed for common fit conditions without significant temperature variations.
