How the 6014-ZZ model number is decoded
6014-ZZ carries two non-contact sheet-steel shields that hold the factory grease in and keep coarse debris out; they do not seal against liquids. Within the extra-light 60xx section (diameter series 0 of ISO 15), multiplying bore code 14 by five gives the 70 mm bore; the 110 mm outside diameter and 20 mm width follow the same boundary-dimension plan. For a rotating inner ring on a 70 mm shaft under normal load, catalogue practice seats it on a k5 shaft fit with an H7 housing bore — confirm against the actual load direction and magnitude before committing. SKF's own suffix is 2Z (this page's industry-neutral spelling is -ZZ); catalogue number 6014-2Z.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- conveyor drives
- material-handling equipment
- industrial fans
- industrial electric motors
Known failure patterns
- fine-particle abrasion when non-contact shields let dust past in dirty duty
- grease aging in the shield-for-life cavity with no relubrication path
- false brinelling from vibration while the shaft is stationary
- fretting corrosion on a loose shaft seat
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Interference on a 70 mm shaft plus running heat consumes radial clearance: where the shaft runs hot or the fit is tight, order 6014 with C3 clearance and re-check the residual value after mounting.
- The 60xx extra-light section at 70 mm bore uses a smaller 110 mm OD than a 6214; load ratings are lower, so do not replace a failed 62-series bearing with a 60-series without re-rating the load.
- ZZ shields are non-contact: 6014-ZZ blocks chips and coarse dust but is not waterproof — do not install it expecting a pressure-wash seal, step up to 6014-2RS for that.
- Do not wash 6014-ZZ in solvent before mounting: the grease inside the shielded cavity is the service fill, and solvent creeping past the shield gap strips it out.
- Assign fits by which ring rotates: an interference shaft fit for a rotating inner ring; if the outer ring rotates instead, reverse the logic — a loose rotating ring creeps and frets its seat.
- Suffixes stack in a defined order — clearance follows the seal code, e.g. 6014-C3. No clearance suffix means normal CN clearance.
- SKF spells the shielded version 6014-2Z (one shield: 6014-Z), not "-ZZ": the suffix language differs by brand even though the ISO envelope is identical, so quote the brand designation when ordering.
- The single-shield execution 6014-Z is a distinct order number in catalogue 17000: it suits open gears or oil-bath arrangements where the unshielded face faces the lubricant, and it is not interchangeable with the double-shield 6014-2Z for high-contamination positions.
- The 39.7/31 kN ratings here are SKF Explorer-class figures from catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000/1 EN (Oct 2018); SKF can revise internal geometry and ratings without changing the designation, so treat the catalogue version and date as part of the specification and re-verify for critical drives.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 6014-ZZ bearing?
A 6014-ZZ deep-groove ball bearing has a 70 mm bore, 110 mm outer diameter and 20 mm width (2.756 × 4.331 × 0.787 in), per ISO 15 boundary dimensions. It is fitted with two non-contact metallic shields.
Are 6014 bearings from different brands interchangeable?
For boundary dimensions, yes: every brand's 6014 uses the same ISO 15 envelope (70×110×20 mm). Load ratings, limiting speeds, clearance, precision class and sealing design can differ, so verify those in the supplier catalogue when substituting. Seal suffixes also differ by brand (2RS, DDU, LLU, 2RSL and similar).
What internal clearance does 6014-ZZ have?
Unless a clearance suffix says otherwise, 6014-ZZ is manufactured to normal (CN) radial internal clearance. Tight fits and hot shafts consume clearance in service — for those conditions order the C3 execution of 6014 and verify the residual clearance after mounting.
How should 6014-ZZ be mounted?
Apply the mounting force to the ring being fitted: on a 70 mm shaft seat the press load must pass through the inner-ring face only. Induction heating of the inner ring (max 120 °C) is the clean method at this size. Never strike the outer ring, the cage or the seals.
What is the SKF designation and catalogue data for 6014-ZZ?
In the SKF Rolling Bearings catalogue this size is listed as 6014-2Z — two non-contact sheet-metal shields, 70×110×20 mm per ISO 15. Quoted values: C 39.7 kN, C0 31 kN, Pu 1.32 kN, limiting speed 6300 r/min, mass 640 g. Brand suffixes (2Z, 2RSH, 2RSL) differ from the industry-neutral spelling 6014-ZZ.
