How the 6314-ZZ-NTN model number is decoded

6314-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 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. NTN catalogue order number: 6314ZZ (suffix ZZ), two non-contact steel shields, mapped here from the industry-neutral -ZZ spelling.

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 6314 against the shaft shoulder while it cools so the ring cannot creep back.
• The 63xx medium section at 70 mm bore gains dynamic rating through larger rolling elements on a 150 mm OD; the penalty is mass and a lower limiting speed than the 6214 — do not specify it for speed-critical shafts.
• ZZ shields are non-contact: 6314-ZZ-NTN blocks chips and coarse dust but is not waterproof — do not install it expecting a pressure-wash seal, step up to 6314-2RS for that.
• Shielded 6314-ZZ-NTN units are typically greased for life; prying the shields out for regreasing usually bends them and leaves a gap that throws grease in service.
• Do not quieten a noisy bearing by preloading it: the 6300-series is a deep-groove design, not angular-contact; axial preload raises temperature and shortens grease life.
• 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.
• NTN catalogues the shielded version as 6314ZZ — suffix ZZ, two non-contact steel shields. The industry-neutral page spelling is -ZZ; quote the NTN order number when buying through an NTN channel.
• At 70 mm bore 6314 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.
• NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 4600 r/min for 6314; this is a large or heavy-section size where centrifugal force and cage inertia cap the speed — for higher shaft speeds either step to a smaller bearing on the same bore or consult NTN for an oil-lubricated, machined-cage variant.
• At 115 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 68 kN static (C0), 5.1 kN fatigue load limit Cu, 6314 is a heavy-load bearing for industrial gearboxes and large conveyors; NTN 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 2520 g (2.5 kg), 6314 needs mechanical handling for mounting; NTN 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 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, 5.1 kN fatigue load limit Cu NTN lists the grease limiting speed at 4600 r/min for this designation; oil-mist or jet lubrication raises the ceiling but requires a sealed-housing review. and 2520 g mass here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203-3/E figures for 6314ZZ 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.
• NTN's pressed-steel cage (no cage suffix) is the quiet standard for this size; for sustained running close to the limiting speed or for heavy shock duty, ask the NTN channel whether a machined-cage execution of 6314 is listed.
• Order the C3 internal-clearance version (6314 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.
