Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6017 -2Z

The SKF 6017-2Z deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 85 × 130 × 22 mm and cover plates on both sides, offers reliable protection against coarse dirt.

The single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6017 -2Z accommodates both radial forces and axial loads in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6), this design is suitable for a wide variety of industrial rotational movements. Two non-contacting sheet metal shields keep dirt particles out without generating additional friction. With a bore of 85 mm, an outside diameter of 130 mm and a width of 22 mm, the bearing is primarily used in rotating industrial drives.

What is the 6017-2Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for in industrial applications?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians primarily use the 6017-2Z deep groove ball bearing in rotating shaft mountings within general mechanical engineering. Thanks to its robust sheet steel cage and Explorer performance class, the unit can handle continuous speeds under medium to high loads. The permissible operating temperature range is from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. The design, which has no ring groove or flange on the outer ring, allows for straightforward installation in cylindrical housing bores.

What are the advantages of the 2Z cover plates and the P6 tolerance?

The designation -2Z refers to steel sheet cover plates fitted on both sides, which form a contact-free protective gap to the inner ring. This design protects the interior from contamination whilst minimising frictional resistance during operation. In addition, the increased dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 ensures tighter fit tolerances on shaft and housing seats. In combination with the standard radial bearing clearance, this design supports uniform concentricity when fitted in accordance with the instructions.
