Description
SKF 22320 EK is a spherical roller bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for 22320 EK via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
SKF spherical roller bearings are self-aligning components with two rows of rollers, designed to withstand high radial loads and axial loads in both directions, even when the shaft is misaligned. Their self-aligning design compensates for mounting errors or shaft deflections, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications. At MR Accesorios Industriales we stock the SKF brand, a world reference in bearings, with more than 80 years of experience in the Argentine market.
The series designation is interpreted as follows: the base number (for example, 22205) indicates the size and load capacity; the EK suffix indicates that the bearing has a tapered bore (taper 1:12) for mounting with an adapter sleeve. Examples in the series include 22205 EK, 22206 EK, 22207 EK, 22208 EK, 22209 EK, 22210 EK, 22211 EK and 22212 EK, covering a range of shaft diameters. Remember that the 222 series is medium section, while other series such as 213 or 223 have different characteristics. Always verify the complete part number in the SKF catalog.
These bearings are used in mining equipment, cement plants, steel mills, pulp plants, chain conveyors, mills, crushers, vibrating screens and agricultural machinery. In Argentina, they are common in the food, petrochemical and aggregate processing industries. Their ability to withstand heavy loads and misalignment makes them suitable for environments with dust, vibration or shock. They are also used in industrial fans, large centrifugal pumps and gear reducers.
To select correctly, take into account radial and axial load, rotation speed, type of lubrication (grease or oil), sealing (open, with plates or with seals) and internal clearance. Mounting with a tapered bore requires an adapter sleeve and a precision lock nut; it is essential to control residual clearance after tightening. Initial alignment is not critical thanks to self-alignment, but careful mounting extends service life. Lubrication must be appropriate for the operating temperature and speed.
Regarding equivalences, SKF spherical roller bearings can be interchanged with those from other brands that follow the same standardized dimensions, such as FAG, NSK, NTN or Timken, as long as the base number and suffixes match. However, tolerances and internal clearances may vary between manufacturers, so it is recommended to verify the technical data sheet for each brand. MR Accesorios Industriales stocks SKF as an official brand, and can advise you on interchangeability with other references.

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, which allows it to be mounted with an adapter sleeve. This facilitates adjustment of internal clearance and mounting on cylindrical shafts. It is important to use the appropriate sleeve and check clearance after mounting.
- How do I choose between an open and a sealed bearing?
- The choice depends on the environment: if there is dust, moisture or contaminants, a sealed bearing (with plates or seals) is preferable. If the bearing is lubricated from a central system or the speed is high, it can be open. Consult us with your application data for advice.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with another brand?
- Yes, if the standardized dimensions and base number match. Brands such as FAG, NSK or NTN have equivalents, but verify tolerances and internal clearance. At MR Accesorios Industriales we stock SKF and can guide you on interchangeability.
