The SKF 6314-2Z/C3 shielded deep groove ball bearing is engineered for demanding industrial shaft arrangements requiring a 70mm bore and a substantial 150mm outside diameter. Its 35mm width and 63 series geometry provide a robust bearing cross-section for applications involving significant radial loading and axial forces acting in either direction, subject to the bearing's rated capacity. SKF specifies a basic dynamic load rating of 111kN and a basic static load rating of 68kN. These values support bearing-life calculations and assessment of stationary or shock-related loading. The SKF Explorer design combines bearing-steel rings and rolling elements with a sheet metal cage, making it a versatile option for industrial motor shafts, mechanical transmissions and rotating equipment.
The 2Z designation identifies steel shields fitted on both sides of the bearing. Unlike rubber contact seals, these shields do not rub against the inner ring, helping minimise sealing friction while retaining factory-applied grease and restricting the entry of larger contaminants. They are not intended to provide the same moisture and fine-dust exclusion as contact seals. The C3 clearance suffix specifies greater-than-normal radial internal clearance before mounting, which may be appropriate where interference fits or operating temperatures reduce running clearance. SKF lists a 5,000rpm limiting speed for this configuration, with actual permissible operating speed dependent on lubrication, load and temperature. Before installation, confirm the required C3 clearance, housing fit, shaft fit and lubrication environment rather than substituting a normal-clearance or rubber-sealed bearing solely on dimensional compatibility.
Typical Applications:
Large industrial electric motor shaft assemblies
Industrial pumps and fluid-handling machinery
Gearbox and mechanical power transmission shafts
Heavy-duty conveyor drive systems
Industrial fans, blowers and rotating equipment
