How the 24164 model number is decoded
For a 320 mm shaft carrying heavy radial load with misalignment or deflection, SKF lists 24164 under catalogue execution 24164 CC/W33: two barrel-roller rows on a sphered outer raceway. On the SKF nameplate, 24164 follows the ISO 15 convention: 2 for the spherical roller type, 41 for the dimension series 41 (medium OD, maximum width), final digits 64 for the 320 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. With C 4395 kN and C0 7100 kN, the 24164 load check covers radial plus moderate axial in either direction — but below the minimum load the rollers skid, so verify P ≥ 0.01·C0 at the lightest operating point. Mount with the spherical bearing's self-alignment in mind: it compensates ≈ 0.5–2.5° of misalignment depending on series, but the shaft and housing seats still set the datum — a rotating inner ring on a 320 mm shaft typically takes a m6 seat with an H7 housing bore.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- heavy rolling-mill work-roll chocks
- large dredger and marine winch drums
- steel-plant continuous-caster segments
- large induced-draft fan rotors
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 320 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 24100-series series at 320 mm bore (540×218 mm) is the heaviest medium-OD execution, built for extreme radial and shock loads at low speed; the 700 r/min ceiling is part of the design, not an afterthought — check it before using it in a faster drive.
- The self-aligning feature is not a license to ignore alignment: beyond ≈ 0.5–2.5° (series-dependent) the edge loading eats the fatigue margin, and seal drag grows as the rings tilt.
- The 210000 g mass and 218 mm width mean abutment faces must be square to the axis within the bearing's own P0 tolerance; a tilted spacer tilts the outer ring and concentrates load on one roller row of 24164.
- The 4395/7100 kN ratings are SKF catalogue values for this exact execution (24164 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 24164 (cylindrical bore as listed, tapered-bore 24164 CCK30/W33 variant, plus sealed and vibrating-screen options in the same envelope); they are not interchangeable order numbers — quote the full 24164 CC/W33 designation when purchasing.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of 24164?
The 24164 CC/W33 is a double-row spherical roller bearing with 320 mm bore, 540 mm outer diameter and 218 mm width (12.598 × 21.26 × 8.583 in) per ISO 15. From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: basic dynamic load rating C 4395 kN, C0 7100 kN, fatigue load limit Pu 510 kN, reference speed 500 r/min, limiting speed 700 r/min, mass about 210000 g. It is an open, self-aligning bearing with two pressed-steel cages with a floating guide ring.
How does the 24164 bore code work?
The last two digits of 24164 are bore code 64, so 64 × 5 = 320 mm bore. The 540 mm OD and 218 mm width come from the ISO 15 dimension-series plan (dimension series 41 (medium OD, maximum width)), shared with other spherical roller bearings of the same code.
What does the CC/W33 suffix mean on 24164?
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 24164 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 24164K30 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 24164 listed here seats directly on a machined journal.
