How the 24096-ECAK30-W33 model number is decoded

In SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000, 24096-ecak30-w33 denotes the tapered-bore version (K30 suffix, taper 1:30) of the 24000-series spherical roller bearing: dimensioned 480×700×218 mm, it seats on an adapter or withdrawal sleeve rather than directly on a machined journal. Digit by digit, 24096-ecak30-w33 reads as bearing type 2 (spherical roller, two barrel-roller rows), dimension series 40, and bore reference 96 resolving to 480 mm; 700 mm OD and 218 mm width are the matching ISO 15 boundary values. Note that K30 means the 1:30 taper used on dimension series 40/41; the more common K means 1:12. 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. At 450 r/min reference speed the 110.0 mm-section 24096-ecak30-w33 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 750 r/min as the mechanical ceiling. Over-driving the 24096-ecak30-w33 up its sleeve pinches radial clearance below the residual minimum and can crack the inner ring in service; under-driving leaves the sleeve seat loose, so the ring creeps and frets the sleeve — measure, do not estimate.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • large induced-draft fan rotors
  • SAG and ball-mill drive shafts
  • 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
  • inner-ring circumferential cracking after over-drive on the tapered seat removes too much radial clearance and the bearing runs preloaded
  • roller-end scoring from starved lubricant at start-up before the grease channel purges
  • seal-lip wear and grease purge loss when an open bearing is run without functioning housing seals

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • At 480 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 480 mm bore (700×218 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.
  • The adapter sleeve is selected by actual shaft diameter, not by the 480 mm nominal bearing bore: H-sleeve part numbers span a small diameter range, so two different shaft diameters can use the same 24096-ecak30-w33 with different sleeves.
  • Never apply the drive-up or clearance-reduction figures for this 1:30 tapered 24096-ecak30-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.
  • Shaft and housing fillets must clear the bearing chamfer so the 218 mm-wide rings seat square; use an undercut or withdrawal groove rather than an oversized radius that locks on the ring face.
  • The 5524/10400 kN ratings are SKF catalogue values for this tapered-bore execution (SKF 24096 ECAK30/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 24096-ecak30-w33?

The SKF 24096 ECAK30/W33 is a double-row spherical roller bearing with a 1:30 tapered bore, 480 mm nominal bore, 700 mm outer diameter and 218 mm width (18.898 × 27.559 × 8.583 in) per ISO 15. From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: C 5524 kN, C0 10400 kN, Pu 695 kN, reference speed 450 r/min, limiting speed 750 r/min, mass about 310000 g. It is mounted on an adapter (H) or withdrawal (AH) sleeve, not directly on the shaft.

What does the K30 suffix mean on 24096-ecak30-w33?

K30 (written CCK30/W33 in the CC execution) marks the 1:30 tapered bore 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.

Which adapter sleeve fits the 24096-ecak30-w33?

The sleeve is selected by the actual shaft diameter in millimetres, not only by the 480 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 24096-ecak30-w33 driven up and checked?

Mounting is controlled by radial-clearance reduction or axial drive-up distance from the SKF catalogue tables for the 1:30 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 24096-ecak30-w33 and 24096-ecak30-w33?

They share the ISO 15 envelope and the same 5524/10400 kN ratings, but 24096-ecak30-w33 has the 1:30 tapered bore for sleeve mounting on a plain shaft, while 24096-ecak30-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.
