How the 23024-CCK-W33 model number is decoded
Ordering number SKF 23024 CCK/W33 in SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000 is a double-row spherical roller bearing with a tapered bore (1:12), intended for an H-series adapter sleeve or AH withdrawal sleeve, with two pressed-steel cages with a floating guide ring and the same 120×180×46 mm ISO 15 outline as its cylindrical-bore counterpart. On the SKF nameplate, 23024-cck-w33 follows the ISO 15 convention: 2 for the spherical roller type, 30 for the dimension series 30 (slim OD, extra-wide), final digits 24 for the 120 mm bore. Sleeve mounting is why the K execution exists: a plain h9-tolerance shaft is enough because the adapter sleeve supplies the precision seat, and the bearing is removable without pulling over an interference journal — a separate order number from the cylindrical-bore bearing, never a field conversion. The 30.0 mm radial section height ((180−120)/2) and 5950 g catalogue mass frame a 120 mm bore bearing rated at 366 kN C — roughly 3.05 kN of dynamic capacity per millimetre of bore before application factors. Over-driving the 23024-cck-w33 up its sleeve pinches radial clearance below the residual minimum and can crack the inner ring in service; under-driving leaves the sleeve seat loose, so the ring creeps and frets the sleeve — measure, do not estimate.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- wind-turbine main shaft support
- heavy rolling-mill work-roll chocks
- fan and pulley shafts that need periodic bearing removal in the field
- shafting produced to commercial tolerances, where the adapter sleeve supplies the precision seat
Known failure patterns
- raceway fatigue spalling of the sphered outer raceway after extended service above the catalogue L10 rating
- inner-ring raceway spalling from edge loading when misalignment exceeds the self-aligning recovery range
- fretting corrosion and sleeve-seat scoring when drive-up is insufficient and the tapered inner ring creeps on the adapter sleeve
- roller-end scoring from starved lubricant at start-up before the grease channel purges
- fretting corrosion on a loose rotating shaft seat or in vibratory stand-still
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 120 mm bore the ring mass makes cocking during mounting a real risk; guide the bearing square, confirm seat contact around the full circumference, and re-check the self-aligning swing after the housing cap is torqued down.
- The 23000-series series at 120 mm bore (180×46 mm) is the slim-OD envelope: it buys radial space but gives up capacity against a 222-series bearing of the same bore — confirm the L10 margin before downsizing into it.
- The adapter sleeve is selected by actual shaft diameter, not by the 120 mm nominal bearing bore: H-sleeve part numbers span a small diameter range, so two different shaft diameters can use the same 23024-cck-w33 with different sleeves.
- A loose sleeve after the first weeks of service usually means inadequate initial drive-up; re-checking clearance without dismounting is possible through the 46 mm-wide roller rows with feeler gauges — do not simply tighten the KM nut until vibration stops.
- The 23024-cck-w33 shares its ISO 15 envelope across brands, but internal geometry differs — SKF load ratings in this row are 366/500 kN; another maker's same-size bearing may rate higher or lower, so do not interchange on envelope alone.
- The 366/500 kN ratings are SKF catalogue values for this tapered-bore execution (SKF 23024 CCK/W33); sleeve, KM nut and MB washer are separate order numbers, and the catalogue version (SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000) should travel with the mounting specification.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of 23024-cck-w33?
The SKF 23024 CCK/W33 is a double-row spherical roller bearing with a 1:12 tapered bore, 120 mm nominal bore, 180 mm outer diameter and 46 mm width (4.724 × 7.087 × 1.811 in) per ISO 15. From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: C 366 kN, C0 500 kN, Pu 52 kN, reference speed 3,200 r/min, limiting speed 4,000 r/min, mass about 5950 g. It is mounted on an adapter (H) or withdrawal (AH) sleeve, not directly on the shaft.
What does the K suffix mean on 23024-cck-w33?
K marks a 1:12 tapered bore for sleeve mounting — SKF writes EK or CCK(/W33), FAG writes -K- inside the suffix chain for sleeve mounting. The bearing seats on an H-series adapter sleeve with a KM locknut and MB lock washer (plain shaft, h9 tolerance), or on an AH withdrawal sleeve against a shaft shoulder. The rarer K30 suffix would instead mean a 1:30 taper; dimension series 40/41 spherical rollers commonly use it.
Which adapter sleeve fits the 23024-cck-w33?
The sleeve is selected by the actual shaft diameter in millimetres, not only by the 120 mm nominal bore: SKF H-sleeve numbers each cover a small shaft-diameter range and are width-series specific (H39/H30/H31/H32 matching dimension series 39/40/31/32), and each kit bundles the sleeve, KM locknut and MB lock washer. For shoulder locations use an AH withdrawal sleeve instead. Confirm the sleeve number against the SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000 mounting tables for your shaft size.
How is the 23024-cck-w33 driven up and checked?
Mounting is controlled by radial-clearance reduction or axial drive-up distance from the SKF catalogue tables for the 1:12 taper, never by locknut torque. Measure clearance with feeler gauges before and after tightening the KM nut, stop at the tabulated decrease, and lock the MB washer tab. Over-drive removes too much clearance (inner-ring cracking risk); under-drive lets the sleeve creep and fret.
What is the difference between 23024-cck-w33 and 23024-cc-w33?
They share the ISO 15 envelope and the same 366/500 kN ratings, but 23024-cck-w33 has the 1:12 tapered bore for sleeve mounting on a plain shaft, while 23024-cc-w33 has a cylindrical bore for direct mounting on a machined interference journal (typically m6 with H7 housing). They are separate order numbers, not interchangeable in the same shaft arrangement.
