How the 23132-CCK-W33 model number is decoded
SKF lists SKF 23132 CCK/W33 as the adapter-sleeve execution in the 23100-series range: a 160 mm nominal-bore spherical roller bearing whose 1:12 tapered inner ring is driven up a sleeve, with 270 mm OD and 86 mm width to the ISO 15 envelope. Digit by digit, 23132-cck-w33 reads as bearing type 2 (spherical roller, two barrel-roller rows), dimension series 31, and bore reference 32 resolving to 160 mm; 270 mm OD and 86 mm width are the matching ISO 15 boundary values. Note that K means 1:12 taper; the rarer K30 suffix means 1:30. Adapter sleeves (H) and withdrawal sleeves (AH) are ordered separately by shaft diameter, and the KM locknut plus MB lock washer used for drive-up are also separate components. The 55.0 mm radial section height ((270−160)/2) and 27500 g catalogue mass frame a 160 mm bore bearing rated at 1029 kN C — roughly 6.43 kN of dynamic capacity per millimetre of bore before application factors. Over-driving the 23132-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
- heavy crusher and screen shafts mounted and dismounted with hydraulic nuts
- long through-shafts in conveyors, where a sleeve seat avoids a precision journal
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
- inner-ring circumferential cracking after over-drive on the tapered seat removes too much radial clearance and the bearing runs preloaded
- surface distress and smearing when the relubrication interval is exceeded — the W33 groove is only effective if grease actually reaches the roller rows
- electrical pitting on VFD-driven shafts without grounding protection
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 160 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 23100-series series at 160 mm bore (270×86 mm) is the medium-OD wide envelope for heavy continuous duty; it is wider than a 222 bearing in the same OD class, so housing width and spacer stack must be re-checked before substitution.
- A loose sleeve after the first weeks of service usually means inadequate initial drive-up; re-checking clearance without dismounting is possible through the 86 mm-wide roller rows with feeler gauges — do not simply tighten the KM nut until vibration stops.
- The adapter sleeve is selected by actual shaft diameter, not by the 160 mm nominal bearing bore: H-sleeve part numbers span a small diameter range, so two different shaft diameters can use the same 23132-cck-w33 with different sleeves.
- The 27500 g mass and 86 mm width mean abutment faces must be square to the axis within the bearing's own P0 tolerance; a tilted spacer tilts the outer ring and concentrates load on one roller row of 23132-cck-w33.
- The 1029/1370 kN ratings are SKF catalogue values for this tapered-bore execution (SKF 23132 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 23132-cck-w33?
The SKF 23132 CCK/W33 is a double-row spherical roller bearing with a 1:12 tapered bore, 160 mm nominal bore, 270 mm outer diameter and 86 mm width (6.299 × 10.63 × 3.386 in) per ISO 15. From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: C 1029 kN, C0 1370 kN, Pu 129 kN, reference speed 1,900 r/min, limiting speed 2,400 r/min, mass about 27500 g. It is mounted on an adapter (H) or withdrawal (AH) sleeve, not directly on the shaft.
What does the K suffix mean on 23132-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 23132-cck-w33?
The sleeve is selected by the actual shaft diameter in millimetres, not only by the 160 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 23132-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 23132-cck-w33 and 23132-cc-w33?
They share the ISO 15 envelope and the same 1029/1370 kN ratings, but 23132-cck-w33 has the 1:12 tapered bore for sleeve mounting on a plain shaft, while 23132-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.
