How the 3314-A-2Z model number is decoded
3314 A-2Z is the capped double-row angular-contact ball bearing for a 70 mm shaft, 70×150×63.5 mm, greased and sealed (or shielded) for life at the SKF works. A on this double-row bearing means no filling slots, so both ball rows retain their full complement. -2Z marks a sheet-metal shield on each side: non-contacting, grease-retention and dust protection with negligible drag, the bearing remaining open-style relubricatable only through the shield clearance. Envelope 70×150×63.5 mm (2.756×5.906×2.5 in), 40.0 mm radial section height, C 163 kN, C0 125 kN, Pu 5 kN.SKF publishes only the 4,300 r/min limiting speed for this execution, catalogue mass 5050 g. Sizing arithmetic on the 70 mm bore: 163 kN C divided by the 40.0 mm radial section height gives 4.1 kN per section millimetre; the 5050 g mass and 3 % Pu/C share frame the light-load floor for the adjusted-life check. Load balance: C0 125 kN against C 163 kN gives a 0.77 ratio, typical of a steep-angle axial-oriented design; Pu 5 kN enters the SKF adjusted-life equation rather than the basic rating life. Speed-ratio note for this exact unit: no thermal reference speed is listed (seal/grease life governs), so the 4,300 r/min limiting value is the single published ceiling. Shielded execution note: the two sheet-metal -2Z covers clip into the outer ring without contacting the inner ring, giving grease retention and coarse-dust protection at virtually no friction; the cavity is factory-greased and the shield arrangement suits dry, moderately dusty positions rather than wash-down duty, where the A-2RS1 contact-seal order number is the alternative.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- sealed-for-life process-side gear shafts
- agricultural and construction machinery drives
- conveyor pulleys in dusty duty
Known failure patterns
- shield rubbing after misalignment or overheating of a 2Z execution
- grease loss when the sealed-for-life cavity is overheated with no relubrication path
- grease escape past the non-contact shields in an overfilled or vertically mounted position
- loss of controlled axial clearance (CB) after thermal growth removes residual play
- fretting corrosion on a loose rotating shaft seat
- fretting corrosion on a loose rotating shaft seat
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Open 3314 and capped 3314-A-2Z share the 70×150×63.5 mm envelope and 163/125 kN ratings — the choice is maintenance access and contamination, not capacity.
- Fit and fillet rules are unchanged from the open double-row 3314: k5 on a 70 mm rotating shaft, radii clearing the chamfer.
- Never wash 3314-A-2Z in solvent: the lifetime grease fill cannot be replaced once flushed out.
- Never wash 3314-A-2Z in solvent: the lifetime grease fill cannot be replaced once flushed out.
- Catalogue ratings are SKF PUB BU/P1 17000 figures for 3314 A-2Z as the double shielded execution; the other order numbers of the 3314 size are different products and may carry different ratings — always quote the full designation when purchasing.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of 3314-A-2Z?
3314 A-2Z measures 70 mm bore × 150 mm OD × 63.5 mm width (2.756 × 5.906 × 2.5 in), mass about 5050 g. SKF 17000 ratings: C 163 kN, C0 125 kN, Pu 5 kN, SKF publishes only the 4,300 r/min limiting speed for this execution.
What does the A-2Z suffix mean?
A on this double-row bearing means no filling slots, so both ball rows retain their full complement. -2Z marks a sheet-metal shield on each side: non-contacting, grease-retention and dust protection with negligible drag, the bearing remaining open-style relubricatable only through the shield clearance.
Can I wash or repack a capped 3314?
No — solvent flushes the factory grease with no way to replace it fully; keep the original protection in place and mount the bearing with clean tools.
What loads can 3314-A-2Z take?
The same bidirectional combined loads as the open double-row 3314: C 163 kN, C0 125 kN, Pu 5 kN. Capping changes sealing and speed, not the basic ratings.
