Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6314 -2Z/C3

The SKF 6314 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing with a 70 mm bore, non-contacting sheet metal end shields and increased C3 clearance.

The 6314 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing in a standard design without a flange or groove on the outer ring. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), the bearing can accommodate radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. With a bore diameter of 70 mm, an outer diameter of 150 mm and a width of 35 mm, this SKF bearing is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

What is the 6314-2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This rolling bearing is typically used in designs where load-carrying capacity is combined with speed capacity. Thanks to its non-contacting cover plates, this design is particularly suitable for dust-protected environments in general mechanical engineering and industrial drives. As the bearing is sealed on both sides, the lubricant remains inside whilst coarse dirt particles are kept away from the rolling elements. The combination of standard tolerance P0 and a single-row design contributes to smooth running under continuous load.

What are the advantages of C3 bearing clearance and 2Z cover plates?

The suffixes define the technical features of this bearing variant. The abbreviation 2Z stands for sheet metal cover plates fitted on both sides, which provide contactless coverage and thus generate hardly any additional frictional heat. The suffix C3 denotes a slightly increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This additional internal clearance compensates for thermal expansion at operating temperatures between –20 and +120 degrees, as well as press fits on the shaft and housing, without the bearing becoming stressed. A sheet steel cage guides the balls evenly into the raceways.
