How the 2313 model number is decoded
In the 2300-series (ISO 15 dimension series) the leading digits 23 mark a double-row self-aligning ball bearing and the last two digits encode the bore: 2313 carries bore code 13 = 65 mm. Outside diameter 140 mm and width 48 mm follow the ISO 15 general plan. The cylindrical bore fits directly on a machined shaft seat; a tapered-bore K variant is available for adapter-sleeve mounting. Two rows of balls run on a common sphered outer raceway, allowing the inner ring to pivot and compensate for shaft deflection or housing misalignment.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- pump and compressor drive shafts
- gearbox and speed reducer shafts
- conveyor and material handling drives
- textile and printing machine spindles
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear from dust and dirt ingress through the open arrangement
- lubricant starvation when no regreasing interval is maintained
- raceway smearing under marginal lubrication at start-up
- fretting corrosion on a loose shaft seat
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Temperature rise and interference fits consume internal clearance on this 65 mm bore: a CN bearing on a tight, hot shaft can lose all residual clearance — size 2313 with C3 for those conditions.
- The 23xx heavy wide-section at 65 mm bore is built for high-load, lower-speed duty; specifying it in a high-rpm application gives excess heat and short grease life — use 12/13 there.
- The open 2313 has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 65×140×48 mm raceway, so specify a sealed arrangement for dusty or washdown duty.
- Open bearings tolerate the highest speeds in the 2300-series but need a defined regreasing interval; run-to-failure lubrication is the dominant cause of early failure in open 2313 units.
- Suffixes stack in a defined order — clearance follows the bore code, e.g. 2313-C3. No clearance suffix means normal CN clearance.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 2313 self-aligning ball bearing?
A 2313 self-aligning ball bearing has a 65 mm bore, 140 mm outer diameter and 48 mm width, per ISO 15 boundary dimensions. This is the cylindrical-bore version; a tapered-bore K variant is available for adapter-sleeve mounting.
How does the 2313 bore code work?
The last two digits of 2313 are bore code 13, giving 13 × 5 = 65 mm bore. The 140 mm outside diameter and 48 mm width follow the ISO 15 diameter series, not the bore code alone.
What does the open suffix mean on 2313?
A bare 2313 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 2300 compare with other self-aligning series at the same 65 mm bore?
The 23xx is the wide heavy section: 140×48 mm, 37.5 mm radial section at 65 mm bore — the highest-capacity double-row self-aligning option here, aimed at lower-speed, high-load shafts.
