SKF spherical roller bearings of the CACK series are self-aligning double-row roller bearings designed to withstand high radial loads and angular misalignment. They are used in heavy equipment where the shaft may deflect or alignment is not perfect, such as conveyor belts, mills and gearboxes. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line with technical advice so you can choose the correct suffix for your application.
The designation of these bearings combines the basic size number with suffixes that indicate internal features. For example, in 23072 CACK/C3W33, 23072 defines the size according to ISO standards, CA indicates the one-piece machined brass cage, C the optimized internal design, K the tapered bore (taper 1:12), /C3 the internal radial clearance greater than normal and W33 the groove and three lubrication holes in the outer ring. In 23252 CACK/C08W507, C08 indicates a special clearance and W507 a variant with specific lubricant and protection. Knowing these codes allows you to order the exact replacement.
These bearings are used in basic industries: cement, mining, steel, paper and pulp, and aggregate processing plants. They are present in crushers, vibrating screens, ball mills, rotary kilns, industrial fans and large gearboxes. In Argentina, you will find them in grinding, material handling and power transmission equipment where loads are high and working conditions are demanding. Their self-aligning capability makes them ideal for shafts that deflect under load.
To select the correct bearing, take into account the radial and axial load, the rotational speed and the type of mounting. The tapered bore K allows mounting on a tapered shaft or on an adapter sleeve, which facilitates adjustment of internal clearance. The C3 or C2 clearance is chosen according to the working temperature and the fit on the shaft. Lubrication with grease or oil must follow the manufacturer's recommendations, and the W33 groove simplifies relubrication. Initial alignment and proper sealing prevent contamination and extend service life.
When looking for equivalents, remember that each manufacturer uses its own suffixes to indicate cages, clearances and variants. An SKF bearing 23072 CACK/C3W33 may have an equivalent in another brand with different nomenclature, but they are not always interchangeable without verifying dimensions and tolerances. At MR Accesorios Industriales we advise you to find the right option, respecting the specifications of your equipment. Always verify the complete code and operating conditions before replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the suffix CACK mean in an SKF bearing?
- CACK indicates a combination of features: CA is the one-piece machined brass cage, C the optimized internal design and K the tapered bore with 1:12 taper. Together they define a bearing for mounting on a tapered shaft or adapter sleeve, with high load capacity.
- When should you choose a bearing with C3 clearance instead of CN?
- C3 clearance is chosen when the bearing will operate at elevated temperatures or with interference fits that reduce internal clearance. Also in applications where shaft deflection or loads cause deformation. Normal CN clearance is for standard conditions.
- Are SKF CACK series bearings interchangeable with other brands?
- Dimensional equivalents may exist in other brands, but suffixes and internal designs vary. They are not interchangeable without verifying dimensions, tolerances and load capacity. Consult us with the complete code and we will advise you.
