Values come from the Rotec AI bearing catalogue and are indicative. Confirm against the manufacturer's current catalogue before ordering. Width: 60 mm. Rating C 614 kN is from a current distributor listing. An older SKF table value is 585 kN. Confirm against the maker's catalogue.

What the designation 23032 CCK/C3W33 means

CodeMeaning
230Spherical roller bearing, double row self-aligning, heavy-duty wide series
32bore code "32" = 32 × 5 = 160 mm
KTapered bore, taper 1:12, mounted on an adapter or withdrawal sleeve
CCKInternal design and cage code of the maker (pressed or machined steel cage, symmetrical rollers, guide ring). The code differs between makers, so check the maker's catalogue.
C3Radial internal clearance larger than normal. Used where the inner ring runs warmer than the outer or with an interference fit.
W33Lubrication groove and three holes in the outer ring, so oil or grease reaches the rollers from the housing.

Basic rating life of the 23032 CCK/C3W33

Basic rating life is L10 = (C / P)p million revolutions, where P is the equivalent dynamic load and p = 10/3 (roller bearing). For a 23032 CCK/C3W33 with C = 614 kN, the table shows what that gives at different load levels. It is the ISO 281 basic life only: it does not include lubrication, contamination, misalignment or reliability modifiers.

For example, a C / P of 5 means the equivalent load is 122.8 kN on this bearing. Use the Load Calculator to work out P for your actual radial and axial loads.

Equivalents of the 23032 CCK/C3W33

Brand-by-brand equivalents for this exact designation are not shown here. The Cross-Reference tool accepts SKF, FAG, NSK, NTN, Timken, Koyo and NRB designations, and shows what is catalogued.

Where the 23032 CCK/C3W33 is used

Spherical roller bearings are chosen for: Very high radial load with misalignment capability. Typical equipment: Crushers, mills, conveyors, wind main shafts, paper machines. Robust for shock/dust; lubrication and sealing are crucial.

Check your 23032 CCK/C3W33 against your real loads and speed.

Common problems on bearings like the 23032 CCK/C3W33
