- Gear Reducers
- Agricultural Machinery
- Industrial Pumps
- General Machinery requiring low friction and high-speed rotation.
Different Variations Available:
The TIMKEN 6217 deep groove ball bearing series offers specific suffixes to denote variations in sealing, shielding, and internal clearance, allowing for tailored solutions:
Timken 6217 ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing : Features two non-contact metal shields (ZZ) on both sides. These shields protect against larger contaminants and help retain grease, making them suitable for high-speed applications where minimal friction is desired.
Timken 6217 2RS Deep Groove Ball Bearing : Equipped with two contact rubber seals (2RS) on both sides. These seals provide superior protection against dust, dirt, and moisture, and offer better lubricant retention. They are ideal for applications in contaminated environments, though they may have slightly lower speed limits compared to shielded versions due to friction.
TIMKEN 6217 C3 : An open bearing with a C3 radial internal clearance. This “greater than normal” clearance accommodates thermal expansion and minor misalignments, which is beneficial in applications with higher operating temperatures or potential for shaft expansion.
TIMKEN 6217 ZZC3 : Combines the benefits of ZZ shielding with C3 internal clearance, offering protection from contaminants and accommodating thermal expansion.
TIMKEN 6217 2RSC3 : Features 2RS rubber seals along with C3 internal clearance, providing robust sealing against harsh environments and managing thermal variations effectively.
