How the 24052 model number is decoded
For a 260 mm shaft carrying heavy radial load with misalignment or deflection, SKF lists 24052 under catalogue execution 24052 CC/W33: two barrel-roller rows on a sphered outer raceway. Reading the designation: the leading 2 marks a spherical roller bearing, the 40 is the ISO 15 dimension series (dimension series 40 (compact OD, maximum width)), and the last two digits encode the 260 mm bore; the 400 mm OD and 140 mm width follow the ISO 15 general plan. 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. At 1,000 r/min reference speed the 70.0 mm-section 24052 is governed thermally by lubricant flow through the W33 groove and the two-row roller complement; grease or oil selection should be made against that value, with 1,400 r/min as the mechanical ceiling. The cylindrical-bore execution here seats directly on the shaft journal; if the application calls for an adapter sleeve, order the tapered-bore 24052 CCK30/W33 variant instead and measure the drive-up or clearance reduction, not the nut torque.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large induced-draft fan rotors
- SAG and ball-mill drive shafts
- large mining crusher main shafts
- wind-turbine main shaft support
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 260 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 260 mm bore (400×140 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.
- Never use the tapered-bore CCK30/K30 variant's drive-up figures on this cylindrical-bore 24052; clearance reduction targets differ, and over-driving a cylindrical bore onto an oversized journal cracks the inner ring.
- Catalogue reference speed and limiting speed are different limits: the 1,000 r/min reference is a thermal criterion under load, while the 1,400 r/min limiting value is the mechanical ceiling — observe both.
- The 2135/3450 kN ratings are SKF catalogue values for this exact execution (24052 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 24052 (cylindrical bore as listed, tapered-bore 24052 CCK30/W33 variant, plus sealed and vibrating-screen options in the same envelope); they are not interchangeable order numbers — quote the full 24052 CC/W33 designation when purchasing.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of 24052?
The 24052 CC/W33 is a double-row spherical roller bearing with 260 mm bore, 400 mm outer diameter and 140 mm width (10.236 × 15.748 × 5.512 in) per ISO 15. From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: basic dynamic load rating C 2135 kN, C0 3450 kN, fatigue load limit Pu 285 kN, reference speed 1,000 r/min, limiting speed 1,400 r/min, mass about 65500 g. It is an open, self-aligning bearing with two pressed-steel cages with a floating guide ring.
How does the 24052 bore code work?
The last two digits of 24052 are bore code 52, so 52 × 5 = 260 mm bore. The 400 mm OD and 140 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 24052?
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 24052 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 24052K30 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 24052 listed here seats directly on a machined journal.
