How the 23226-CCK-W33 model number is decoded
The SKF 23226 CCK/W33 is a 130×230×80 mm spherical roller bearing with a 1:12 tapered bore — SKF catalogue execution for sleeve mounting on a 130 mm plain shaft, retaining the double-row self-aligning barrel-roller design. Numbering ties the bearing to its envelope: 23226-cck-w33 means spherical-roller type, dimension series 32, 130 mm bore — which is why the 230×80 mm outline swaps dimensionally with other ISO 15 bearings of the same code. 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 50.0 mm radial section height ((230−130)/2) and 18500 g catalogue mass frame a 130 mm bore bearing rated at 826 kN C — roughly 6.35 kN of dynamic capacity per millimetre of bore before application factors. Mounting on the 1:12 taper is controlled by clearance reduction or measured axial drive-up, never by locknut torque: SKF tables give the target radial-clearance decrease for the 130 mm 23226-cck-w33, checked with feeler gauges before and after drive-up.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- wind-turbine main shaft support
- heavy rolling-mill work-roll chocks
- shafting produced to commercial tolerances, where the adapter sleeve supplies the precision seat
- split-housing plummer block arrangements with bearings swapped in situ
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
- sleeve seizure and shaft seat damage from omitting the anti-seize film between withdrawal sleeve and journal before drive-up
- surface distress and smearing when the relubrication interval is exceeded — the W33 groove is only effective if grease actually reaches the roller rows
- seal-lip wear and grease purge loss when an open bearing is run without functioning housing seals
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 130 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 23200-series series at 130 mm bore (230×80 mm) adds still more width for shock-loaded and vibratory loads; it does not interchange with a 231 bearing of the same bore because the 80 mm width changes abutment spacing, even though the 230 mm OD matches.
- The adapter sleeve is selected by actual shaft diameter, not by the 130 mm nominal bearing bore: H-sleeve part numbers span a small diameter range, so two different shaft diameters can use the same 23226-cck-w33 with different sleeves.
- The 23226-cck-w33 and its cylindrical-bore counterpart 23226-cc-w33 share envelope and load ratings (826/1060 kN) but are not interchangeable in a housing already fitted for direct shaft mounting — the sleeve changes the assembly stack-up.
- Open spherical roller bearings rely on the housing seals; in screening or crusher duty a failed seal lets grit into the sphered raceway and the 23226-cck-w33 pits long before its L10 life.
- The 826/1060 kN ratings are SKF catalogue values for this tapered-bore execution (SKF 23226 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 23226-cck-w33?
The SKF 23226 CCK/W33 is a double-row spherical roller bearing with a 1:12 tapered bore, 130 mm nominal bore, 230 mm outer diameter and 80 mm width (5.118 × 9.055 × 3.15 in) per ISO 15. From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: C 826 kN, C0 1060 kN, Pu 104 kN, reference speed 1,900 r/min, limiting speed 2,600 r/min, mass about 18500 g. It is mounted on an adapter (H) or withdrawal (AH) sleeve, not directly on the shaft.
What does the K suffix mean on 23226-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 23226-cck-w33?
The sleeve is selected by the actual shaft diameter in millimetres, not only by the 130 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 23226-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 23226-cck-w33 and 23226-cc-w33?
They share the ISO 15 envelope and the same 826/1060 kN ratings, but 23226-cck-w33 has the 1:12 tapered bore for sleeve mounting on a plain shaft, while 23226-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.
