Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6316 -2RS1

The SKF 6316-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 80x170x39 mm, offers reliable protection against dirt thanks to seals that seal on both sides.

The 6316-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from standard rolling-element steel (100Cr6) in the SKF Explorer design. With an inner diameter of 80 mm, an outer diameter of 170 mm and a width of 39 mm, this rolling bearing can accommodate high radial loads and axial loads acting in both directions. Thanks to its robust sheet steel cage and standard radial clearance, the bearing operates with low vibration even under demanding conditions.

What is the 6316-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in operation?

Mechanical engineering designs primarily use this bearing in industrial drive and shaft mountings subject to combined radial and axial loads, where dirt and moisture must be kept out. The seals, which seal on both sides, protect the rolling elements from particles and retain the lubricant within the bearing. The bearing operates within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees.

What are the advantages of the 2RS1 seal on the 6316 deep groove ball bearing?

The designation 2RS1 refers to two sealing discs made of synthetic rubber that make contact with the inner ring on both sides. This seal variant effectively protects the raceways from dust, splash water and fine contaminants. As the seals are fitted at the factory, the grease remains inside the bearing, which reduces the need for external maintenance. When designing the bearing, take into account the friction caused by the seal lips compared to open bearings.
