6214 M/C3VL0241 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6214 bearing is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in a wide range of industrial applications. Engineered to primarily accommodate radial loads, its fundamental design ensures reliable operation and long service life. A key feature of this model is its specified C3 radial internal clearance, making it particularly suitable for applications involving thermal expansion, heavy loads, or where interference fits are used. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it offers a cost-effective solution without compromising on essential precision and reliability for general machinery.
6214 M/C3VL0241 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
The model number 6214 M/C3VL0241 provides detailed technical specifications through its suffixes. Below is a breakdown:
- 6214: Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 70 mm bore, 125 mm OD, and 24 mm width.
- M: Indicates a machined metal cage (cage material). This cage offers high strength, excellent guidance, and is suitable for high-speed operation and demanding applications.
- C3: Specifies a radial internal clearance greater than the Normal (CN) group. This is ideal for applications with elevated temperatures or heavy loads.
- VL0241: This suffix denotes a specific manufacturer's designation, often related to internal processes or a specific variant. In this context, it confirms the bearing is supplied without lubrication (Lubrication: None).
6214 M/C3VL0241 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
The 6214 bearing's performance is a direct result of its robust construction and material selection.
- High Load Capacity & Durability: Constructed from chrome steel for both rings and balls, this bearing achieves a high radial dynamic load rating of 13,601 lbf and a radial static load rating of 10,116 lbf, ensuring dependable performance under significant stress.
- Optimized for Demanding Conditions: The C3 internal clearance provides operational stability in environments prone to thermal expansion, preventing binding and reducing friction.
- High-Speed Capability: The machined metal cage (M) ensures precise ball guidance and stability, contributing to a high limiting speed of 10,000 rpm. The open design facilitates efficient heat dissipation.
- Versatile & Robust: The open seal type allows for easy re-lubrication and is suitable for clean environments or where specific lubricants are applied by the user. Its wide operating temperature range (-30°C to 120°C) further enhances its versatility.
6214 M/C3VL0241 Bearing Typical Application Areas
Due to its balanced design, robust construction, and C3 clearance, the 6214 M/C3VL0241 is widely used across various industries. Key applications include:
- Electric Motors and Generators
- Industrial Gearboxes and Transmissions
- Material Handling Equipment (e.g., conveyor pulleys)
- Agricultural Machinery
- General Industrial Machinery requiring reliable radial support
