How the 23936-CCK-W33 model number is decoded
Ordering number SKF 23936 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 180×250×52 mm ISO 15 outline as its cylindrical-bore counterpart. Digit by digit, 23936-cck-w33 reads as bearing type 2 (spherical roller, two barrel-roller rows), dimension series 39, and bore reference 36 resolving to 180 mm; 250 mm OD and 52 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 35.0 mm radial section height ((250−180)/2) and 13500 g catalogue mass frame a 180 mm bore bearing rated at 519 kN C — roughly 2.88 kN of dynamic capacity per millimetre of bore before application factors. 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 23936-cc-w33 on an interference seat.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- wind-turbine main shaft support
- heavy rolling-mill work-roll chocks
- 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
- 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 180 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 23900-series series at 180 mm bore (250×52 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 180 mm nominal bearing bore: H-sleeve part numbers span a small diameter range, so two different shaft diameters can use the same 23936-cck-w33 with different sleeves.
- The adapter sleeve is selected by actual shaft diameter, not by the 180 mm nominal bearing bore: H-sleeve part numbers span a small diameter range, so two different shaft diameters can use the same 23936-cck-w33 with different sleeves.
- Catalogue reference speed and limiting speed are different limits: the 2,600 r/min reference is a thermal criterion under load, while the 2,800 r/min limiting value is the mechanical ceiling — observe both.
- The 519/830 kN ratings are SKF catalogue values for this tapered-bore execution (SKF 23936 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 23936-cck-w33?
The SKF 23936 CCK/W33 is a double-row spherical roller bearing with a 1:12 tapered bore, 180 mm nominal bore, 250 mm outer diameter and 52 mm width (7.087 × 9.843 × 2.047 in) per ISO 15. From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: C 519 kN, C0 830 kN, Pu 76.5 kN, reference speed 2,600 r/min, limiting speed 2,800 r/min, mass about 13500 g. It is mounted on an adapter (H) or withdrawal (AH) sleeve, not directly on the shaft.
What does the K suffix mean on 23936-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 23936-cck-w33?
The sleeve is selected by the actual shaft diameter in millimetres, not only by the 180 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 23936-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 23936-cck-w33 and 23936-cc-w33?
They share the ISO 15 envelope and the same 519/830 kN ratings, but 23936-cck-w33 has the 1:12 tapered bore for sleeve mounting on a plain shaft, while 23936-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.
