How the C2213-KV model number is decoded

In SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000, C 2213 KV denotes a toroidal roller bearing whose 31 mm long rollers crown at both ends: the contact accepts angular misalignment while the ring positions float, which is why CARB bearings are specified at the free shaft end. The designation C 2213 KV separates into C (CARB), 22 (dimension series), 13 (65 mm bore) and KV (tapered 1:12 bore for adapter (H) sleeve mounting, full-complement V execution (no cage)); envelope 65×120×31 mm follows the ISO 15 plan. The K suffix gives a 1:12 tapered 65 mm bore, mounted on an adapter (H) sleeve so the bearing can be driven up to the specified clearance. The same size is listed in both bore executions, and the boundary dimensions 65×120×31 mm are identical — only the mounting method changes. Float capacity is a selection criterion: the catalogue lists the permissible axial displacement (s) for the 31 mm wide set; size the free-end housing so thermal growth stays within it, not just inside the overall width. Open executions accept relubrication — route it through the outer-ring groove on sizes that have one and purge stale grease at service intervals. Grease through the annular groove features where provided; on open executions feed lubricant past the long roller set at assembly, since the 31 mm wide cavity does not fill itself.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• At 65 mm bore the small CARB executions are unusually wide (31 mm) for their 120 mm OD — confirm the housing width before substituting a standard spherical bearing of the same bore.
• Do not block the axial displacement in the drawing: housing covers, labyrinth rings and snap rings must leave the catalogue float (s) free, or the bearing silently becomes a poorly located fixed bearing.
• Envelope-identical spherical roller bearings (same ISO 15 d×D×B) are not drop-in equivalents — they locate the shaft axially, while C 2213 KV must float; the two are designed to be used as a pair.
• Never use C 2213 KV as the locating bearing: it carries no axial load by design — the arrangement needs a separate locating spherical, tapered or angular bearing facing the thrust.
• Tapered-bore K executions mount on adapter sleeves (1:12) and K30 on withdrawal sleeves (1:30) — the 65 mm bore changes the sleeve family, and the drive-up procedure differs accordingly.
• The 204/216 kN ratings and 1500 g mass are SKF catalogue values transcribed from ch. 10.1 of PUB BU/P1 17000 (PDF table page 858); mounting data — axial displacement (s) and seating details — appears in the running text because the structured record carries the boundary envelope only.
