How to read SKF 23156 CCK/C3W33
- 231Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 231 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 56Bore
- 280 mm bore: 56 × 5.
- CCK/C3W33Suffix
- SKF suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
23156 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description

SKF spherical roller bearings of the 222 series with CCK, C3 or C4 and W33 suffixes are self-aligning bearings with two rows of rollers, tapered bore and stamped steel cage. They are used in applications with misalignment between shaft and housing, significant radial loads and some axial load. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line for the Argentine industrial market.
The designation 22228 CCK/C3W33 reads as follows: 222 indicates the medium-width spherical roller bearing series; 28 is the size code; CCK defines the internal design with 1:12 tapered bore and stamped steel cage; C3 or C4 indicate the internal radial clearance, greater than normal; W33 indicates that the bearing has a lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring. Examples in the series include several sizes, with C3 or C4 and W33 combinations.
These bearings appear in mining, cement, steel, paper, aggregate processing and heavy transport equipment. They are found in conveyor belts, mills, crushers, screens, industrial fans and paper machines. In Argentina they are common in cement plants, quarries and the oilseed industry, where long shafts and welded structures require tolerating misalignment without losing load capacity.
To select correctly, take into account radial and axial load, speed, type of fit and internal clearance. The CCK tapered bore is mounted on a tapered shaft or adapter sleeve; C3 or C4 clearance is chosen according to working temperature and fit. Grease or oil lubrication must cover the W33 groove and holes. Initial alignment and sealing prevent contamination and extend service life.
Regarding equivalents, spherical roller bearings with tapered bore and similar suffixes are available from different brands, but internal codes and clearances do not always match. Do not replace by number without verifying dimensions, clearance and cage type. Interchangeability between manufacturers requires comparing tolerances and load capacities, not just diameter and width.
If you need to replace a bearing of this series, send us the complete code by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With the exact number, the brand and a photo of the assembly we can guide you toward the right option within the SKF line we sell.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF 23156 CCK/C3W33 bearing?
- The SKF 23156 CCK/C3W33 bearing has a 280 mm bore, a 460 mm outside diameter and a 146 mm width (280 x 460 x 146 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 23156.
- What does the CCK suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- CCK indicates an internal design with 1:12 tapered bore and stamped steel cage. That bore allows mounting on a tapered shaft or sleeve, which makes it easier to adjust radial clearance and disassemble.
- When is a C3 or C4 clearance preferable to normal?
- C3 or C4 clearance is chosen when the bearing operates at elevated temperature, with tight fits or with misalignments that generate stresses. Greater clearance compensates for expansion and prevents the bearing from becoming preloaded.
- What is the function of the W33 suffix?
- W33 indicates that the outer ring has a lubrication groove and holes. This allows relubrication from the housing or casing, which is useful in hard-to-reach equipment or with long maintenance intervals.
