6217-Z Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6217-Z is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in demanding applications. Engineered to primarily handle radial loads, this shielded bearing offers a robust and reliable solution. Its key advantages include high operational reliability, a P6 tolerance class for enhanced running accuracy, and pre-lubrication with grease for immediate use and long-term protection. The combination of chrome steel rings and balls with a stainless steel cage ensures durability and consistent performance across a wide temperature range from -30°C to 120°C.
6217-Z Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Interpretation | Technical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 6217 | Basic Bearing Code | Denotes a single row deep groove ball bearing with an 85 mm bore, 150 mm OD, and 28 mm width. |
| -Z | Shield Suffix | Indicates the bearing is equipped with a non-contact shield on one side, providing effective protection against contaminant ingress while minimizing friction. |
6217-Z Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Internal Geometry & High Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and precision-engineered components enable the bearing to support significant radial dynamic loads up to 19,581 lbf and radial static loads up to 14,388 lbf.
- High-Speed Capability: The lightweight and durable stainless steel cage ensures stable ball guidance, contributing to a high limiting speed of 5,600 rpm.
- Enhanced Sealing & Contamination Resistance: The Z-shield effectively retains lubricant and excludes larger particulate contaminants, enhancing bearing life in challenging environments.
- Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured to a P6 tolerance class, this bearing offers tighter dimensional control for applications requiring high running accuracy and system rigidity.
- Ready-to-Use & Low Maintenance: The bearing is pre-lubricated with grease and features a standard CN radial internal clearance, making it ideal for applications where re-lubrication is difficult or not required.
