How to read SKF 2317 K
- 23Series
- Self-aligning ball bearings, 23 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 17Bore
- 85 mm bore: 17 × 5.
- KSuffix
- SKF suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
2317 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description
The SKF 2317 K bearing has a 85 mm bore, a 180 mm outside diameter and a 60 mm width (85 x 180 x 60 mm).

The SKF self-aligning ball bearing with K suffix is a double-row ball bearing with a spherical outer ring, which allows it to self-align and compensate for angular misalignment between shaft and housing. It is used in applications where the shaft can flex or where mounting is not perfectly coaxial, such as fans, pumps, conveyors and agricultural machinery. Its robust design and its ability to support moderate radial and axial loads make it a reliable option for industrial equipment.
The designation of these bearings is read as follows: the number indicates the self-aligning ball bearing series, and the K suffix indicates that the bore is tapered (taper 1:12). For example, a 1211 K has a tapered bore that facilitates mounting on shafts with an adapter sleeve. Other suffixes may indicate a steel cage, special internal clearance or heat treatment. Always check the complete part number to ensure the correct variant.
These bearings are used in industries such as food, chemical, cement and agricultural. They are common in industrial fans, centrifugal pumps, belt conveyors, mixers and process equipment where there is misalignment due to shaft flexing or mounting on welded structures. In Argentina, they are found in milling plants, meat processing plants and animal feed factories, where cleanliness and resistance to contamination are important.
To select an SKF self-aligning ball bearing with K suffix, take into account the radial and axial load it must support, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. The tapered bore requires a suitable mounting sleeve or a shaft with a 1:12 taper; check concentricity and tightening. Lubrication must be suitable for the temperature and speed; in humid or dusty environments, choose seals or protectors. Initial alignment is not critical thanks to self-alignment, but correct mounting extends service life.
Regarding equivalences, self-aligning ball bearings with tapered bore are manufactured under international standards, so different brands offer products that are interchangeable in dimensions and capacities. However, not all suffixes match between manufacturers; for example, the cage or clearance code may vary. Always check the complete part number and technical specifications before replacing one bearing with another of a different brand. MR Accesorios Industriales sells SKF.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF 2317 K bearing?
- The SKF 2317 K bearing has a 85 mm bore, a 180 mm outside diameter and a 60 mm width (85 x 180 x 60 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 2317.
- What does the K suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
- The K suffix indicates that the bearing bore is tapered with a 1:12 taper. This allows it to be mounted on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve, which facilitates adjustment and disassembly. It is important to use the appropriate sleeve to ensure correct tightening.
- Where are SKF self-aligning ball bearings with K suffix used?
- They are used in applications where there is angular misalignment or shaft flexing, such as fans, pumps, conveyors and agricultural machinery. They are common in the food, chemical and cement industries. Their self-aligning capability reduces wear and extends bearing service life.
- How do I know if I can replace a self-aligning ball bearing with one from another brand?
- Self-aligning ball bearings with tapered bore follow international standards, so the main dimensions are interchangeable between brands. But the suffixes that indicate cage, clearance or sealing may vary. Always check the complete part number and specifications before replacing.
