6217/C4S1VK176 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6217/C4S1VK176 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding applications. This metric bearing is engineered to primarily handle radial loads with high efficiency. Its key advantages include a high radial dynamic load rating of 18,884 lbf, ensuring long service life under dynamic conditions, and a C4 radial internal clearance, which accommodates thermal expansion in applications with elevated operating temperatures or heavy loads. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it provides reliable and consistent performance for general industrial use.
6217/C4S1VK176 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning | Significance & Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| C4 | Radial Internal Clearance greater than Normal (CN) | Accommodates thermal expansion, ideal for applications with significant temperature gradients or heavy loads, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload. |
| S1 | Stabilized Heat Treatment | Enhances dimensional stability under fluctuating temperatures, maintaining performance accuracy up to 200°C. |
| VK176 | Manufacturer-specific designation for cage or special feature | Indicates a specific chrome steel cage construction, contributing to the bearing's overall strength and durability. |
6217/C4S1VK176 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Constructed entirely from chrome steel for the rings, balls, and cage, this bearing ensures uniform material properties and high resistance to wear. The single row deep groove geometry is optimized for smooth operation and efficient radial load distribution. The C4 clearance is a critical feature, providing operational reliability in environments prone to thermal expansion. With an open seal type, it is suitable for systems where external sealing is provided, allowing for high-speed operation up to a limiting speed of 4,300 rpm. The stabilized heat treatment (S1) ensures that the bearing maintains its dimensional integrity across its wide operating temperature range of -30°C to 200°C.
6217/C4S1VK176 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors and Generators: For supporting shafts and handling radial loads in standard industrial motors.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Used in various gearbox stages where robust radial load capacity is required.
- Material Handling Equipment: Such as conveyor pulleys and rollers, benefiting from the high load rating and C4 clearance.
- Agricultural Machinery: In applications like tractor transmissions and implements that operate under variable loads and temperatures.
- General Industrial Machinery: A versatile choice for pumps, fans, and other machinery requiring a reliable, standard-precision ball bearing.
