How the 24034 model number is decoded
24034 is a double-row spherical roller bearing in the 24000-series family: two rows of barrel rollers on a common sphered outer raceway, self-aligning under shaft deflection, listed by SKF in SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000. On the SKF nameplate, 24034 follows the ISO 15 convention: 2 for the spherical roller type, 40 for the dimension series 40 (compact OD, maximum width), final digits 34 for the 170 mm bore. SKF basic executions here are CC/W33; specialist suffixes change the bearing materially — VA405 for vibrating screens (C4 clearance, surface-hardened cage), 2CS5 for the sealed variant — and must be quoted in full when ordering. Speed planning uses two different ceilings: 1,600 r/min thermal reference and 2,400 r/min mechanical limiting speed. Drive-on force must go through the ring being fitted: press or induction-heat the inner ring onto the 170 mm shaft (max 120 °C) and never transmit mounting force through the roller complement, or the raceways brinell.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large mining crusher main shafts
- wind-turbine main shaft support
- heavy rolling-mill work-roll chocks
- large dredger and marine winch drums
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
- cage pocket wear or fracture from roller skew at insufficient minimum load or rapid acceleration
- 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 170 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 24000-series series at 170 mm bore (260×90 mm) packs maximum roller length into the smallest OD envelope — very high C0 for its size but the lowest speed ceiling; never swap it for a wider-OD 231 bearing without re-checking the housing bore and the speed margin.
- Shaft and housing fillets must clear the bearing chamfer so the 90 mm-wide rings seat square; use an undercut or withdrawal groove rather than an oversized radius that locks on the ring face.
- Catalogue reference speed and limiting speed are different limits: the 1,600 r/min reference is a thermal criterion under load, while the 2,400 r/min limiting value is the mechanical ceiling — observe both.
- The 963/1460 kN ratings are SKF catalogue values for this exact execution (24034 CC/W33); SKF can revise internal geometry without changing the order number, so keep the catalogue version (SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000) with the specification and re-verify for critical drives.
- SKF lists several executions of 24034 (cylindrical bore as listed, tapered-bore 24034 CCK30/W33 variant, plus sealed and vibrating-screen options in the same envelope); they are not interchangeable order numbers — quote the full 24034 CC/W33 designation when purchasing.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of 24034?
The 24034 CC/W33 is a double-row spherical roller bearing with 170 mm bore, 260 mm outer diameter and 90 mm width (6.693 × 10.236 × 3.543 in) per ISO 15. From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: basic dynamic load rating C 963 kN, C0 1460 kN, fatigue load limit Pu 137 kN, reference speed 1,600 r/min, limiting speed 2,400 r/min, mass about 17500 g. It is an open, self-aligning bearing with two pressed-steel cages with a floating guide ring.
How does the 24034 bore code work?
The last two digits of 24034 are bore code 34, so 34 × 5 = 170 mm bore. The 260 mm OD and 90 mm width come from the ISO 15 dimension-series plan (dimension series 40 (compact OD, maximum width)), shared with other spherical roller bearings of the same code.
What does the CC/W33 suffix mean on 24034?
CC denotes two pressed-steel cages with a floating guide ring between the roller rows, and W33 adds an annular groove plus three lubrication holes in the outer ring for relubrication. In dimension series 40/41 the tapered-bore counterpart carries CCK30/W33 with a 1:30 taper.
Can 24034 accommodate misalignment and axial load?
Yes on both counts. The sphered outer raceway lets the bearing self-align ≈ 0.5–2.5° depending on series, absorbing shaft deflection and housing-seat errors. The two barrel-roller rows also carry bidirectional axial load in addition to heavy radial load — this is the key difference from cylindrical roller bearings, which take no axial load.
When should the tapered-bore 24034K30 variant be used instead?
Choose the K30 (1:30 tapered bore) variant when the bearing must seat on an adapter or withdrawal sleeve — typical for long shafts, frequent dismounting, or stepped shafts where machining a precision journal is impractical. Sleeve mounting requires measuring clearance reduction or axial drive-up, not nut torque. The cylindrical-bore 24034 listed here seats directly on a machined journal.
