SKF 6214-2RS1/C3 Rubber Sealed Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing 70x125x24mm

The SKF 6214-2RS1/C3 sealed deep groove ball bearing provides dependable support for rotating shafts in industrial machinery subject to sustained radial loading and occasional axial forces. Its 70mm bore, 125mm outside diameter and 24mm width make it suitable for substantial shaft arrangements while retaining the relatively compact profile of the 62 series. The single row deep groove construction accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions within its design limits. Published specifications list a basic dynamic load rating of 63.7kN and a basic static load rating of 45kN. These ratings provide essential inputs for bearing-life calculations and evaluating equipment operating under variable loads.

The 2RS1 rubber contact seals retain the factory-applied grease and reduce the entry of dust, dirt and moisture, making the bearing appropriate for machinery where regular relubrication is difficult. SKF specifies a limiting speed of 3,400rpm for this sealed configuration, although actual operating limits depend on load, temperature and installation conditions. The C3 radial internal clearance is greater than normal and is particularly relevant when tight shaft fits or differential thermal expansion could reduce operating clearance. C3 does not automatically make the bearing suitable for every high-speed or high-temperature application; the correct clearance must be selected for the machine's operating conditions. During replacement, confirm the /C3 suffix rather than substituting a standard-clearance 6214-2RS1 solely because its dimensions match.

Typical Applications:

Industrial electric motors with specified C3 clearance

Centrifugal pumps and fluid circulation machinery

Industrial gearboxes and mechanical transmission systems

Conveyor drives and material handling equipment

Agricultural and heavy-duty rotating machinery
