Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 61814

With its compact dimensions of 70 × 90 × 10 mm, the SKF 61814 deep-groove ball bearing effectively saves installation space whilst being lightweight.

The 61814 deep-groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing with a particularly narrow cross-section. Designed as an open bearing, it accommodates radial and moderate axial loads whilst ensuring smooth running. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6, the raceways and rolling elements offer high dimensional stability. The inner and outer rings have no flange or groove. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly through the bearing chamber.

In which installation spaces does the 61814 deep-groove ball bearing prove its worth?

This design is primarily used where relatively large shaft diameters are combined with tight radial installation spaces. Thanks to its narrow cross-section, the thin-section bearing is suitable for weight-optimised designs and applications with a small radial clearance between the shaft and housing. It accommodates radial loads and, thanks to its open design, can be integrated directly into systems with housing lubrication.

What operating conditions apply to the open bearing 61814?

In the case of an open rolling bearing without integrated seals, the lubricant is supplied via the surrounding housing structure. External sealing elements help to prevent dirt particles and moisture from entering the bearing chamber. The bearing is designed with standard radial clearance and tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. The permissible operating temperature range is from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius.
