Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6014 M

The SKF 6014 M single-row deep groove ball bearing, with a 70 mm bore, brass cage and tolerance class P6, offers precise running characteristics for demanding industrial applications.

The 6014 M deep groove ball bearing is an open, single-row radial ball bearing designed primarily to support radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. With key dimensions of a 70 mm bore, 110 mm outside diameter and 20 mm width, this SKF Explorer performance class design is suitable for medium to heavy-duty shaft mountings. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6), the bearing is characterised by high dimensional stability and improved running accuracy to tolerance class P6 (ABEC 3).

What is the 6014 M deep groove ball bearing suitable for in industrial applications?

The component is primarily used in industrial and mechanical engineering applications that require low-vibration operation and precise shaft guidance at higher speeds. As this is an unsealed bearing without integrated cover or sealing rings, it is usually fitted in enclosed housings with external sealing and lubrication. The permissible operating temperature range is between –20 and +150 degrees Celsius, covering a wide range of thermal requirements.

What are the characteristics of the brass cage in the 6014 M deep groove ball bearing?

The suffix ‘M’ indicates a solid brass cage for guiding the rolling elements. Brass is characterised by favourable friction properties as well as mechanical stability under acceleration and shock loads. Together with the standard radial bearing clearance and tolerance class P6, this design ensures smooth concentricity. As open bearings are supplied without factory-applied grease, the choice of lubricant and initial lubrication are application-specific and carried out during installation.
