SKF 6317 C4 Ball Bearing 85x180x41

Applications - Heavy Duty Industrial Use

The SKF 6317 C4 85x180x41 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for demanding industrial environments. Commonly searched as SKF 6317 C4, 85x180x41 ball bearing, SKF C4 clearance bearing, and electric motor bearing 6317, this model is widely used in heavy duty machinery and high power drive systems.

With its robust construction, the bearing supports high radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. It is typically installed in large electric motors, industrial gearboxes, pumps, fans, compressors, and processing equipment.

The 6317 C4 can operate as a standalone component or as part of a complete bearing unit mounted in a bearing housing.

Advantages - High Durability and Thermal Compensation

This deep groove ball bearing is engineered for reliable performance under continuous operation. Precision raceway geometry and high quality bearing steel ensure even load distribution, reduced friction, and extended service life.

The C4 internal clearance provides increased radial internal clearance compared to standard designs. This allows the bearing to compensate for thermal expansion, shaft deflection, and high speed operation, making it ideal for applications where operating temperatures are elevated.

Compared to standard clearance bearings, the C4 version offers improved stability in demanding industrial applications where heat generation and dynamic loads are significant factors.

With dimensions of 85x180x41, the bearing is suitable for large drive assemblies and heavy machinery.
