Description
SKF 232/670-2CS5K/CNHGEN is a spherical roller bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for 232/670-2CS5K/CNHGEN via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The SKF spherical roller bearing is a self-aligning component with two rows, designed to withstand high radial loads and angular misalignment between shaft and housing. Its self-aligning design compensates for mounting defects or shaft deflection, extending service life in equipment subjected to vibration or heavy loads. It is used in industrial applications where rigidity is not critical and tolerance to misalignment is required.
The designation of this series combines letters and numbers that indicate construction features. The suffix 2CS5 indicates a double contact seal, with material and geometry specific to retaining lubricant and excluding contaminants. The letter K indicates a tapered bore, which facilitates mounting on shafts with adapter sleeves or directly on tapers. CNHGEN is an SKF internal code that groups specifications for internal clearance, heat treatment and special tolerances for severe conditions. The example 232/670-2CS5K/CNHGEN shows the 232 series with a 670 mm bore diameter, double seal, taper and CNHGEN specification.
These bearings are used in basic industries such as cement, mining, steel, paper and wind power. In Argentina, they are common in ball mills, crushers, vibrating screens, rotary kilns, large centrifugal pumps and industrial fans. They also appear in earthmoving equipment and in machinery of the oilseed industry. Their ability to withstand combined loads and misalignment makes them suitable for long shafts or shafts subjected to deflection, where other rigid bearings would fail prematurely.
To select correctly, take into account radial and axial load, rotational speed, type of lubrication and environmental conditions. The 2CS5 seal is suitable for dusty or humid environments, but verify compatibility with operating temperature. If the shaft is tapered, mounting with an adapter sleeve facilitates adjustment of internal clearance; if it is cylindrical, you need a suitable interference fit. Initial alignment is less critical than in rigid bearings, but misalignment should be controlled within permissible limits. Lubrication can be grease or oil, depending on the application and speed range.
Regarding equivalents, each manufacturer has its own nomenclature for spherical roller bearings. Seal, taper and internal clearance suffixes can vary between brands, so direct interchangeability requires verifying main dimensions, tolerances and load capacity. Matching mounting dimensions is not enough; internal clearance and heat treatment influence performance. Consult us with the complete code and we will advise you on the right option.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the CNHGEN suffix mean in this SKF bearing?
- CNHGEN is an SKF internal code that groups specifications for internal clearance, tolerances and heat treatment for severe applications. It is not a public standard, so it is advisable to consult the manufacturer or a specialist to interpret its exact effect on your equipment.
- Does this bearing allow misalignment between shaft and housing?
- Yes, spherical roller bearings are self-aligning and compensate for small angular misalignments. The permissible value depends on the series and size; in general, it is greater than in rigid bearings, but the data sheet should always be consulted to avoid exceeding the limits.
- How do I choose between a sealed and an open bearing?
- The 2CS5 seal protects against dust and moisture, ideal for contaminated environments. If the bearing operates in an oil lubrication system or requires heat dissipation, an open version may be preferable. Evaluate the conditions of your application and consult us to define the best option.
