How the 61814-RSR-NTN model number is decoded

61814-RSR uses two non-contact elastomer lips with very low drag; coarse debris stays out, but the bearing is not liquid-tight. Within the extra-thin 618xx section (diameter series 8 of ISO 15), multiplying bore code 14 by five gives the 70 mm bore; the 90 mm outside diameter and 10 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. NTN's non-contact seal suffix is LLB/LLF (catalogue number 6814LLB), mapped here from the industry-neutral -RSR spelling; speed capability matches the open bearing but it is not liquid-tight.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• At 70 mm bore, induction heating to roughly 80–100 °C is the clean mounting method; never exceed 120 °C, and hold 61814 against the shaft shoulder while it cools so the ring cannot creep back.
• Only 10.0 mm of radial section separates bore and OD on the 618xx series at 70 mm: ring flex from clamping or an oval housing bore transfers straight into raceway stress, so seat roundness matters more here than on a 6214.
• RSR low-friction seals on 61814-RSR-NTN run faster than contact-seal 61814-2RS but let fine dust and moisture past the non-contact lip; in dirty or wet duty specify 61814-2RS instead.
• The low-drag lip of 61814-RSR-NTN barely touches the inner ring; after long shelf storage the grease can separate, so rotate the rings by hand and confirm smooth, silent running before fitting.
• Axial location must clamp the ring face, not the seal area: a shoulder or circlip bearing on the seal side of the 10 mm-wide ring of 61814-RSR-NTN drags the lip and overheats it.
• Suffixes stack in a defined order — clearance follows the seal code, e.g. 61814-RSR-NTN-C3. No clearance suffix means normal CN clearance.
• NTN catalogues this low-friction non-contact seal as 6814LLB (suffix LB), mapped here from the industry-neutral -RSR spelling. NTN rates its speed capability the same as the open bearing, but it is not liquid-tight — for wet or fine-dust duty step up to the LLU contact seal (industry-neutral -2RS).
• At 70 mm bore 61814 is in NTN's upper general-purpose range; the pressed-steel cage is standard but mid-section 63xx sizes at this bore can be ordered with a machined brass cage (suffix M) for heavy-shock or very-low-speed duty — confirm cage material with the NTN channel if the application sees impact loads.
• At 6900 r/min the grease limiting speed for 61814 covers medium-duty industrial drives; the open or shielded execution can run continuously at this speed with standard lithium-soap grease.
• NTN rates 61814 at 13.4 kN dynamic (C) and 11.9 kN static (C0), 0.8 kN fatigue load limit Cu; this light-to-medium rating suits fractional-horsepower drives and instruments — for conveying or gearbox duty with shock loads, verify the equivalent dynamic load stays well below C.
• At 137 g, 61814 is light enough for hand assembly but should be pressed on with a fitting sleeve against the inner ring; do not strike the outer ring or cage with a hammer.
• The 70×90×10 mm envelope of 61814 gives a D/d ratio of 1.29 and only 10.0 mm radial section height — this is an ultra-thin section where shaft deflection and housing ovality directly load the ball-raceway contact; verify shaft stiffness (target deflection under 0.05 mm) before specifying it over a 62-series.
• The 13.4/11.9 kN load ratings, 0.8 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 6900 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 137 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 6814LLB on the 70×90×10 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 61814 in a rated drive.
• Two NTN bearings of the same designation from different production lots can carry minor internal-geometry revisions; for paired or preloaded arrangements on one shaft, order a single lot through the NTN distributor.
• Order the C3 internal-clearance version (61814 with C3 after the seal code) when the shaft fit is tight or the shaft-to-housing temperature gradient exceeds roughly 10 °C — the residual clearance after mounting, not the catalogue CN figure, decides service life.
