How the C4013-2CS5V-GEM9 model number is decoded
C 4013-2CS5V/GEM9 belongs to the CARB family — compact aligning roller bearings: envelope 65×100×35 mm, radial rating 102/173 kN C/C0, and no axial-locating function by design. In C 4013-2CS5V/GEM9 the 40 dimension series fixes the 100 mm OD and 35 mm width around the 65 mm bore (the bore is written directly after the slash (no bore code)); the suffix 2CS5V/GEM9 then selects the cylindrical bore for direct shaft fitting, 2CS5V/GEM9 sealed full-complement execution with annular groove. The 2CS5V/GEM9 execution adds nitrile contact seals on both sides plus an annular-groove relubrication feature and a high-viscosity grease fill; the full-complement rollers keep 102 kN dynamic at a reduced 150 r/min ceiling. Float capacity is a selection criterion: the catalogue lists the permissible axial displacement (s) for the 35 mm wide set; size the free-end housing so thermal growth stays within it, not just inside the overall width. After fitting, confirm the inner ring can be pushed axially by hand through the catalogue displacement range; a ring that will not slide means the position is locked and will preload in service.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- 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
- heavy industrial gearbox layshafts used as the non-locating position
Known failure patterns
- raceway spalling once the catalogue L10 life is exceeded or after sustained overload
- roller skew and cage damage after the bearing is clamped solid between shaft and housing shoulders
- PA66 cage (TN9) softening when the sustained temperature passes the polymer limit
- brinelling of washer raceways from impact or mounting force applied through the rolling elements
- grease churning and overheating when a high-speed thrust position is over-packed
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 65 mm bore the small CARB executions are unusually wide (35 mm) for their 100 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 102/173 kN ratings belong to this exact execution (C 4013-2CS5V/GEM9); VE240 vibrating-screen variants and sealed 2CS/2NS variants have their own figures even at the same envelope.
- Never use C 4013-2CS5V/GEM9 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 102/173 kN ratings and 1050 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.
Frequently asked questions
How is the C 4013-2CS5V/GEM9 designation read?
C = CARB toroidal family; 40 = dimension series; 65 mm (slash-size) = 65 mm bore (the bore is written directly after the slash (no bore code)); suffix 2CS5V/GEM9 selects cylindrical bore for direct shaft fitting, 2CS5V/GEM9 sealed full-complement execution with annular groove. K is a 1:12 tapered bore for an adapter sleeve, K30 a 1:30 bore for a withdrawal sleeve.
What is the difference between V and TN9 CARB executions?
V is the full-complement execution with no cage — more rollers, higher C (102 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 4013-2CS5V/GEM9 is the cylindrical bore for direct shaft fitting, 2CS5V/GEM9 sealed full-complement execution with annular groove.
How is C 4013-2CS5V/GEM9 mounted?
Slide or heat (max 120 °C) the bearing onto the 65 mm seat, give the outer ring a loose housing fit, leave the float travel unobstructed, and never press through the 35 mm roller set.
What are the dimensions and ratings of the C 4013-2CS5V/GEM9?
A C 4013-2CS5V/GEM9 measures 65 mm bore × 100 mm outside diameter × 35 mm width (2.559 × 3.937 × 1.378 in). From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: dynamic C 102 kN, static C0 173 kN, fatigue limit Pu 20.4 kN, limiting speed 150 r/min, no reference speed listed, mass about 1050 g.
