Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6014

The SKF 6014 deep groove ball bearing accommodates both radial and axial loads and, with dimensions of 70x110x20 mm, offers high running accuracy.

The 6014 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing for industrial shaft mountings. Manufactured as an open design in the SKF Explorer performance class, this design is suitable for lubrication systems using oil or grease. The rings and rolling elements are made from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly in the deep raceways. With standard radial clearance and an outer ring without a flange or groove, the bearing can be fitted directly into cylindrical housing bores.

What loads and speeds can the 6014 deep-groove ball bearing handle?

Design engineers primarily use this size in drive shafts, gearboxes and electric motors. The bearing mainly absorbs radial loads and guides the shaft axially in both directions. Thanks to its open design, lubricant reaches the raceways unhindered, which dissipates heat quickly. As there are no sealing rings to generate friction, the bearing operates with low losses even at higher speeds. It covers a thermal operating range from –20 to +120 degrees.

What are the advantages of tolerance class P6 during assembly?

This model meets the specifications of tolerance class P6 or ABEC 3 and has tighter dimensional and running tolerances than standard bearings. For users, this means improved concentricity and reduced vibration in the shaft supported by the bearing. Bearing seats on the shaft and housing must be precisely machined to take full advantage of this accuracy. In the case of open roller bearings, an external housing seal also keeps out dirt particles.
