How the 61934 model number is decoded
In the 61900-series (ISO 15 diameter series 9) the last two digits encode the bore: 61934 carries bore code 34 = 170 mm. Outside diameter 230 mm and width 28 mm come from the ISO 15 boundary-dimensions general plan. With no seal suffix the bearing is open: no shields or seals are fitted and lubrication is supplied by the application. For normal-load mounting with a rotating inner ring on a 170 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a m6 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- robotics and automation joints
- lay shafts and idler shafts
- textile machinery
- packaging machinery
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear from dust and dirt ingress through the open arrangement
- lubricant starvation when no regreasing interval is maintained
- edge loading from shaft deflection or housing misalignment
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling after the rated L10 life is exceeded
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount this 170 mm bore bearing by heating the inner ring (induction heater, max 120 °C) — never drive it home through the outer ring or balls, that brinells the raceways.
- The 619xx thin section (30.0 mm section height at 170 mm bore) trades load capacity for compactness; stiff, accurately aligned seats are essential or edge loading will spall the raceway early.
- The open 61934 has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 170×230×28 mm raceway, so specify a sealed arrangement for dusty or washdown duty.
- Open bearings tolerate the highest speeds in the 61900-series but need a defined regreasing interval; run-to-failure lubrication is the dominant cause of early failure in open 61934 units.
- Do not quieten a noisy bearing by preloading it: the 61900-series is a deep-groove design, not angular-contact; axial preload raises temperature and shortens grease life.
- The open 61934 needs external sealing and application-supplied lubrication; in the NSK catalogue the protected variants are separate order numbers with suffixes ZZ (shields), VV (non-contact rubber seals) and DDU (contact rubber seals).
- The 94.5/97 kN ratings, mass 3340 g here are NSK Rolling Bearings E1103 Part C catalogue figures for 6934; this seal/size combination has no counterpart in the SKF 17000 extract used elsewhere on this site, so the page rests on a single manufacturer source — internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting in a rated drive.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 61934 bearing?
A 61934 deep-groove ball bearing has a 170 mm bore, 230 mm outer diameter and 28 mm width (6.693 × 9.055 × 1.102 in), per ISO 15 boundary dimensions. It is an open bearing with no seals or shields.
How does the 61934 bore code work?
The last two digits of 61934 are bore code 34, giving 34 × 5 = 170 mm bore. The 230 mm outside diameter and 28 mm width follow the ISO 15 diameter series, not the bore code alone.
What does no suffix on 61934 mean?
A bare 61934 designation means open: no shields or seals, normal CN radial clearance and P0 normal tolerance unless further suffixes are ordered. The application must supply and retain the lubrication.
How does the 61900 compare with other series at the same 170 mm bore?
619 is a thin section one step above 618: 230×28 mm with a 30.0 mm radial section at 170 mm bore; a 6234 on the same bore is substantially larger and more heavily rated.
What is the NSK designation and catalogue data for 61934?
In the NSK Rolling Bearings catalogue (E1103 Part C) this size is listed as 6934 — the open (unsealed) execution, 170×230×28 mm per ISO 15. Quoted values: C 94.5 kN, C0 97 kN, mass 3340 g. The industry-neutral page spelling 61934 follows the seal-suffix convention used across this site, not NSK order-number spelling. Reference and limiting speeds are not tabulated in the E1103 dimension tables used here; consult NSK speed tables before high-speed service.
