How the 6314-NSK model number is decoded

6314 is supplied open, without shields or seals, so the arrangement around it must supply and retain the lubricant. Within the medium 63xx section (diameter series 3 of ISO 15), multiplying bore code 14 by five gives the 70 mm bore; the 150 mm outside diameter and 35 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. In the NSK catalogue this open execution carries the bare designation; protected variants are ordered separately with suffixes ZZ (steel shields), VV (non-contact rubber seals) and DDU (contact rubber seals).

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Temperature rise and interference fits consume internal clearance on this 70 mm bore: a CN bearing on a tight, hot shaft can lose all residual clearance — size 6314 with C3 for those conditions.
• The 63xx medium series gains rating at 70 mm bore through a 150 mm OD and 35 mm width; the heavier rolling elements also trade away some speed versus a 6214.
• The open 6314-NSK has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 70×150×35 mm raceway, so specify a sealed arrangement for dusty or washdown duty.
• Storage matters for open bearings: 6314-NSK leaves the factory with rust preventive only, so clean it and apply the service grease at assembly even if the rings look oily from the wrapper.
• Shaft and housing fillets must clear the bearing chamfer so the 35 mm-wide ring seats square; provide an undercut or withdrawal groove instead of relying on an oversized radius.
• Grease compatibility is not guaranteed between fills: mixing lithium and polyurea thickeners in a 6300-series position can soften the mixture and leak — clean out the old fill before switching grease types.
• The open 6314 has no integral sealing; in the NSK E1103 catalogue the protected variants carry suffixes ZZ (non-contact steel shields), VV (non-contact rubber seals) and DDU (contact rubber seals). NSK does not offer a low-torque contact seal equivalent to NTN's LLH in this catalogue — for high-speed sealed duty specify the VV non-contact seal and an external housing labyrinth.
• At 70 mm bore 6314 is in NSK'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 NSK channel if the application sees impact loads.
• At 115 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 68 kN static (C0), 6314 is a heavy-load NSK bearing for industrial gearboxes and large conveyors; NSK expects a machined brass cage (suffix M) at this rating for shock duty, and the static C0 must be checked against any mounting or lifting loads.
• At 2570 g (2.6 kg), 6314 needs mechanical handling for mounting; NSK recommends induction heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) rather than pressing cold, and a lifting eye if the housing is pre-assembled.
• The 70×150×35 mm envelope of 6314 gives a D/d ratio of 2.14 and 40.0 mm radial section height — a heavy NSK section built for high-load, lower-speed duty; specifying it in a high-rpm motor generates excess heat and shortens grease life, so prefer a 62/63-series there.
• The 115/68 kN load ratings, mass 2570 g here are NSK Rolling Bearings E1103 Part C catalogue figures for 6314 on the 70×150×35 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 6314 in a rated drive. NSK does not tabulate reference or limiting speeds in the E1103 Part C dimension tables used for this page — consult NSK's separate speed-rating tables before high-speed service.
• Standard P0 runout from NSK is adequate up to the catalogue limiting speed on ground shaft seats; spindle or instrument positions should specify P6/P5 accuracy explicitly — it is a different order code, not a sorting of standard stock.
• When replacing a failed unit, inspect the shaft and housing seats before fitting the new 6314 — a new bearing pressed onto a worn or oval seat reproduces the original failure mode in a fraction of its expected life.
