How the 23192-CAK-W33 model number is decoded

In SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000, 23192-cak-w33 denotes the tapered-bore version (K suffix, taper 1:12) of the 23100-series spherical roller bearing: dimensioned 460×760×240 mm, it seats on an adapter or withdrawal sleeve rather than directly on a machined journal. Reading the designation: the leading 2 marks a spherical roller bearing, the 31 is the ISO 15 dimension series (dimension series 31 (medium OD, wide)), and the last two digits encode the 460 mm bore; the 760 mm OD and 240 mm width follow the ISO 15 general plan. 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 680 kN Pu figure feeds the adjusted-life equation at contaminated or partial-film conditions, and the 1.60 C0/C balance shows this execution is tuned to heavy radial-plus-axial duty with misalignment tolerance. Because driving up the 1:12 taper consumes radial clearance, K executions are commonly ordered with C3 initial clearance so the residual running clearance after mounting matches the cylindrical-bore 23192-cak-w33 on an interference seat.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • steel-plant continuous-caster segments
  • large induced-draft fan rotors
  • stepped shafts fitted with withdrawal sleeves against a fixed shoulder
  • fan and pulley shafts that need periodic bearing removal in the field

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
  • electrical pitting on VFD-driven shafts without grounding protection

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • At 460 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 460 mm bore (760×240 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.
  • The adapter sleeve is selected by actual shaft diameter, not by the 460 mm nominal bearing bore: H-sleeve part numbers span a small diameter range, so two different shaft diameters can use the same 23192-cak-w33 with different sleeves.
  • Never apply the drive-up or clearance-reduction figures for this 1:12 tapered 23192-cak-w33 to a bearing of the other taper (1:12 vs 1:30); the steeper taper moves far less clearance per nut turn and the targets come from different catalogue tables.
  • The self-aligning feature is not a license to ignore alignment: beyond ≈ 0.5–2.5° (series-dependent) the edge loading eats the fatigue margin, and seal drag grows as the rings tilt.
  • The 6760/10800 kN ratings are SKF catalogue values for this tapered-bore execution (SKF 23192 CAK/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 23192-cak-w33?

The SKF 23192 CAK/W33 is a double-row spherical roller bearing with a 1:12 tapered bore, 460 mm nominal bore, 760 mm outer diameter and 240 mm width (18.11 × 29.921 × 9.449 in) per ISO 15. From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: C 6760 kN, C0 10800 kN, Pu 680 kN, reference speed 430 r/min, limiting speed 800 r/min, mass about 530000 g. It is mounted on an adapter (H) or withdrawal (AH) sleeve, not directly on the shaft.

What does the K suffix mean on 23192-cak-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 23192-cak-w33?

The sleeve is selected by the actual shaft diameter in millimetres, not only by the 460 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 23192-cak-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 23192-cak-w33 and 23192-cak-w33?

They share the ISO 15 envelope and the same 6760/10800 kN ratings, but 23192-cak-w33 has the 1:12 tapered bore for sleeve mounting on a plain shaft, while 23192-cak-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.
