How to read SKF 24168 ECACK30/C3W33
- 241Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 241 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 68Bore
- 340 mm bore: 68 × 5.
- ECACK30/C3W33Suffix
- SKF suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
24168 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.

SKF spherical roller bearings are self-aligning, double-row components designed to withstand high radial loads and axial loads in both directions. Their self-aligning design compensates for angular misalignment and shaft deflection, making them ideal for applications with bent shafts or difficult mounting. At MR Accesorios Industriales we supply the SKF line with technical advice so you can choose the right suffix for your equipment.
The designation of these bearings combines letters and numbers that indicate design features. For example, in 24168 ECACK30/C3W33, the numeric prefix defines the dimension series; ECAC indicates an optimized design with a stamped steel cage and special machining; K30 indicates a tapered bore with 1:30 taper; C3 specifies an internal radial clearance greater than normal; and W33 denotes the presence of a lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring. Knowing these suffixes is key to ordering the correct replacement.
These bearings are used in industries in Argentina such as cement, mining, steel, paper and aggregate processing. They are found in crushers, vibrating screens, mills, gearboxes, industrial fans and paper machines, where loads are high and alignment conditions are not always perfect. Their self-aligning capability reduces the risk of premature failure due to shaft deflection or foundation settling.
To select the right bearing, take into account radial and axial load, rotational speed and environmental conditions. The K30 suffix requires mounting on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve; verify the taper and use the radial clearance measurement method for a correct fit. Lubrication must be chosen according to temperature and contamination; the W33 groove and holes facilitate relubrication. Proper initial alignment and sealing extend service life.
Regarding equivalences, SKF spherical roller bearings can be interchanged with those from other brands that follow the same dimensional and suffix designation, such as FAG, NSK, NTN or Timken. However, always verify tolerances and radial clearance, as they may vary between manufacturers. For safe interchangeability, compare the main dimensions and load ratings. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you if you send us the original part number.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF 24168 ECACK30/C3W33 bearing?
- The SKF 24168 ECACK30/C3W33 bearing has a 340 mm bore, a 580 mm outside diameter and a 243 mm width (340 x 580 x 243 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 24168.
- What does the K30 suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- The K30 suffix indicates that the bearing has a tapered bore with 1:30 taper. This allows mounting on tapered shafts or with adapter sleeves, making it easier to adjust internal radial clearance. It is important to verify the shaft taper and use the correct measurement method to avoid damage.
- How do I choose the right internal radial clearance?
- Internal radial clearance depends on the application and mounting. A larger clearance, such as C3, is useful when there is fit interference, temperature gradients or misalignment. To select the correct clearance, consider the operating conditions and consult the manufacturer's tables. If you have doubts, contact us and we will advise you.
- Are SKF spherical roller bearings interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, in general they are interchangeable with bearings from other brands that share the same dimensional and suffix designation. However, there may be differences in tolerances, radial clearance and load rating. Before replacing, verify the main dimensions and operating conditions. If you send us the part number, we will help you find the equivalent.
