6217-ZN/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6217-ZN/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for exceptional performance in demanding industrial applications. This precision bearing features a shielded design and a C3 radial internal clearance, making it ideally suited for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Its robust construction from chrome steel ensures high durability and reliable operation under significant radial loads. The inclusion of a snap ring groove on the outer ring provides secure axial location, simplifying installation and enhancing system integrity.
6217-ZN/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| ZN | A snap ring groove on the outer ring and a shield on the opposite side. | Facilitates secure axial positioning and provides protection from larger particulate contaminants. |
| C3 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance. | Accommodates thermal expansion in the shaft or housing, preventing preload and potential seizure. |
6217-ZN/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Load Capacity & Rigidity: The single row deep groove raceway and high-quality chrome steel construction enable it to handle substantial radial dynamic load ratings of 18,884 lbf and radial static load ratings of 13,916 lbf, providing stable and rigid support.
- Optimized for Interference Fits & Thermal Conditions: The C3 clearance is a critical feature that prevents bearing failure in applications where interference fits or significant operational heat are present, ensuring consistent performance.
- Simplified Installation & Positioning: The outer ring snap ring groove allows for positive axial location, reducing the complexity and cost of adjacent housing design.
- Contaminant Protection: The shielded (ZN) design offers effective protection against large contaminants, extending bearing life in moderately dirty environments.
