SKF 6017-2RS1/C3 Rubber Sealed Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing 85x130x22mm

The SKF 6017-2RS1/C3 sealed deep groove ball bearing is designed for larger rotating shafts where a comparatively narrow bearing section is required. Its 85mm bore, 130mm outside diameter and 22mm width distinguish it from the heavier-section 6217 and 6317 bearings, which require substantially larger housings. The single row deep groove raceways accommodate radial loads together with axial loads in either direction, subject to the bearing's operating limits. SKF catalogue data specifies a 52kN basic dynamic load rating and a 43kN basic static load rating, providing useful reference values for bearing-life calculations and assessing stationary or peak loads. The pressed sheet steel cage maintains ball spacing during operation.

The 2RS1 designation identifies rubber contact seals on both sides, helping retain the factory grease while restricting the ingress of dust, moisture and other contaminants. SKF lists a limiting speed of 3,000rpm for this sealed design; actual operating suitability also depends on lubrication, temperature and applied load. The C3 suffix is particularly important: it specifies greater-than-normal radial internal clearance, allowing for clearance reduction caused by interference fits and temperature differences between the bearing rings. C3 does not automatically make a bearing preferable for every application, so the required installed clearance should be checked against the machinery manufacturer's specification. For replacement work, confirm all three dimensions, the 2RS1 sealing arrangement and the C3 suffix before installation.

Typical Applications:

Industrial electric motors requiring C3 clearance

Centrifugal pump and circulation equipment shafts

Industrial fans and ventilation drive assemblies

Conveyor drive and power transmission systems

Rotating machinery with thermally affected bearing fits
