6311-2RS1NR/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6311-2RS1NR/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for robust performance in demanding applications. This sealed bearing is designed to handle significant radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Its key advantages include a snap ring groove on the outer ring for simplified axial location and a C3 radial internal clearance for stable operation under thermal expansion. Pre-lubricated and sealed for life, it offers a maintenance-free solution with high reliability.
6311-2RS1NR/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 2RS1 | Contact seals on both sides, providing excellent protection against contamination and retaining lubricant. |
| NR | Snap ring groove on the outer ring, enabling secure and cost-effective axial positioning within the housing. |
| C3 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance, suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. |
6311-2RS1NR/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & High Load Capacity: Manufactured from chrome steel for rings, balls, and cage, this bearing delivers high strength and durability. It is rated for a dynamic load of 16,096 lbf and a static load of 10,116 lbf, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The integral contact seals (2RS1) effectively shield the bearing from contaminants like dust and moisture while retaining the factory-applied grease. This creates a "sealed for life" solution, eliminating the need for re-lubrication.
- Simplified Assembly & Axial Location: The snap ring groove (NR) on the outer ring allows for easy and secure mounting, reducing assembly time and complexity by providing a positive axial location in the housing.
- Operational Stability: The C3 clearance provides extra internal space, preventing preload and ensuring smooth, reliable performance in applications prone to thermal expansion or where tight fits are used.
