How the C2216-V model number is decoded
For long shafts that grow thermally, SKF supplies C 2216 V: the toroidal rollers allow the 80 mm inner ring to displace axially without induced thrust, while still accommodating shaft deflection like a spherical bearing. In C 2216 V the 22 dimension series fixes the 140 mm OD and 33 mm width around the 80 mm bore (code 16 × 5); the suffix V then selects the cylindrical bore for direct shaft fitting, full-complement V execution (no cage). The V suffix denotes a full complement: the toroidal rollers fill the 33 mm space without a cage, raising C to 255 kN but cutting the speed ceiling (no reference speed is listed) versus the caged size. No thermal reference speed is listed for this full-complement execution; the mechanical limiting speed is 2,000 r/min. The full-complement V executions carry more load but list no thermal reference speed; the steel-caged executions run faster and cooler at light load. Mounting: slide the bearing onto the 80 mm seat or heat it (max 120 °C) and seat it square; never press through the 33 mm roller set, and leave the free-end housing shoulder clear so axial float is unrestricted.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- paper machine drying cylinders and calender rolls with long, thermally expanding shafts
- continuous-caster guide rolls and slab-caster segments under heat growth
- vibrating screen exciters fitted with the VE240 tolerance execution
- long fan and kiln main shafts where the free end must float without thrust load
Known failure patterns
- raceway spalling once the catalogue L10 life is exceeded or after sustained overload
- thermal preloading when a shaft is located at both ends and growth has nowhere to go
- PA66 cage (TN9) softening when the sustained temperature passes the polymer limit
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling after the catalogue L10 life is exhausted
- grease churning and overheating when a high-speed thrust position is over-packed
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 80 mm bore the small CARB executions are unusually wide (33 mm) for their 140 mm OD — confirm the housing width before substituting a standard spherical bearing of the same bore.
- Reference and limiting speeds are different limits: the catalogue lists no thermal reference speed for this full-complement/sealed execution, the limiting value is the mechanical ceiling; observe the reference under load unless the arrangement calculation says otherwise.
- The quoted 255/305 kN ratings belong to this exact execution (C 2216 V); VE240 vibrating-screen variants and sealed 2CS/2NS variants have their own figures even at the same envelope.
- Tapered-bore K executions mount on adapter sleeves (1:12) and K30 on withdrawal sleeves (1:30) — the 80 mm bore changes the sleeve family, and the drive-up procedure differs accordingly.
- Never use C 2216 V 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.
- The 255/305 kN ratings and 2150 g mass are SKF catalogue values transcribed from ch. 10.1 of PUB BU/P1 17000 (PDF table page 860); mounting data — axial displacement (s) and seating details — appears in the running text because the structured record carries the boundary envelope only.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between V and TN9 CARB executions?
V is the full-complement execution with no cage — more rollers, higher C (255 kN here) but a lower speed ceiling and no thermal reference speed. TN9 is the glass-fibre PA66 caged execution, faster and quieter at somewhat lower load. C 2216 V is the cylindrical bore for direct shaft fitting, full-complement V execution (no cage).
How is C 2216 V mounted?
Slide or heat (max 120 °C) the bearing onto the 80 mm seat, give the outer ring a loose housing fit, leave the float travel unobstructed, and never press through the 33 mm roller set.
What are the dimensions and ratings of the C 2216 V?
A C 2216 V measures 80 mm bore × 140 mm outside diameter × 33 mm width (3.15 × 5.512 × 1.299 in). From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: dynamic C 255 kN, static C0 305 kN, fatigue limit Pu 34.5 kN, limiting speed 2,000 r/min, no reference speed listed, mass about 2150 g.
Can a CARB bearing like C 2216 V locate the shaft axially?
No — that is the defining feature. C 2216 V deliberately allows the inner ring to float axially inside the outer ring while the toroidal rollers self-align. It must be paired with a separate locating bearing (spherical, tapered or angular contact) that takes 100 % of the thrust.
