SKF spherical roller bearings of the EK/VA series are self-aligning bearings with two rows of rollers, a tapered bore and special characteristics according to the VA suffix. They are designed to withstand combined loads and angular misalignment. They are used in equipment where precision and durability are critical, such as industrial drives, process machinery and applications with vibrations or shocks.
The designation of these bearings combines the basic series, the EK suffix and the VA code. The series (for example, 222, 223) indicates the bearing type and its load capacity. The EK suffix indicates that the bore is tapered (taper 1:12) for mounting on a shaft with an adapter sleeve or directly on a tapered shaft. The VA code followed by a number (such as VA751, VA759, VA405) identifies a variant with special characteristics, such as internal clearance, heat treatment or specific tolerances. For example, 22212 EK/VA751 is a spherical roller bearing of the 222 series, tapered bore, with the VA751 variant.
These bearings are used in industries such as cement, mining, steel, paper and materials handling. In Argentina, they are common in conveyor belts, mills, crushers, industrial fans and continuous process machines. Their ability to withstand radial and axial loads in both directions, together with their tolerance to misalignment, makes them suitable for equipment subject to shaft deflection or not perfectly aligned mounting.
To select the right bearing, take into account the load, speed and environmental conditions. The tapered bore facilitates mounting and allows the internal clearance to be adjusted by axial advancement. Adequate lubrication and effective sealing are essential to retain the lubricant and exclude contaminants. Shaft and housing alignment must be careful, although the bearing tolerates a certain angular misalignment. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mounting and axial fixing.
SKF bearings of this series can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands, but it is essential to verify the dimensions and the characteristics of the VA variant, as they may differ. Not all brands offer the same special variants. Always consult the equivalence tables and make sure the replacement meets the load, speed and internal clearance requirements. Interchangeability is not automatic; each case must be validated.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the EK suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- The EK suffix indicates that the bearing has a tapered bore with 1:12 taper. This allows it to be mounted on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve, making it easier to adjust the internal clearance.
- What is the difference between the VA751, VA759 and VA405 variants?
- The VA variants identify special characteristics defined by SKF, such as internal clearance, heat treatment or tolerances. Each number corresponds to a different specification. Ask us with the complete part number for advice.
- How is a bearing with a tapered bore mounted?
- It is mounted on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve. Axial advancement controls the internal clearance. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and verify the clearance reduction with measuring instruments.
