Description

SKF 3306 E/C3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for 3306 E/C3 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

SKF double row deep groove ball bearings are a compact solution for shafts that must support radial and axial loads in both directions. Their two row ball design allows higher load capacity than a single row bearing of the same size. They are used in applications where axial space is limited and rigidity is required. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the correct part number.

The designation of these bearings combines a four digit basic number with suffixes that indicate specific characteristics. For example, in 3208 E/C3, the 3208 identifies the size and series, the E indicates a design with higher capacity balls, and C3 indicates an internal radial clearance greater than standard. In 3306 E/C3 and 3316 E/C3 the same pattern is repeated: basic number, E and C3. Knowing these suffixes is key to ordering the correct replacement.

These bearings are used in industries such as food, chemical and metallurgical, in equipment such as centrifugal pumps, fans, small compressors, machine tools and conveyors. In Argentina, they are commonly found in packaging lines, mills and transmission systems that require robust and low maintenance support. Their double row makes them suitable for shafts where combined loads are frequent.

To select the appropriate bearing, take into account the radial and axial load, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. The C3 suffix is useful when the fit is tight or there are thermal gradients, since it prevents excessive preload. During mounting, ensure correct alignment between housing and shaft, and verify the sealing: if the environment has dust or humidity, consider variants with seals. Lubrication must be the one indicated by the manufacturer for each application.

When replacing a bearing, it is important to understand that designations can vary between manufacturers. An SKF part number such as 3208 E/C3 may have equivalents in other brands, but they do not always match exactly in suffixes or internal clearance. Therefore, always verify the critical dimensions and operating conditions before substituting. MR Accesorios Industriales can help you find the appropriate interchangeability without compromising performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the C3 suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
The C3 suffix indicates an internal radial clearance greater than standard. It is used when the bearing will work with tight fits or temperature differences between the shaft and the housing, to prevent the balls from becoming preloaded and overheating.
How do I know if a double row bearing replaces a single row one?
They are not always directly interchangeable. The double row one supports higher radial and axial loads, but it may have different dimensions and rigidity. Verify the shaft and housing dimensions, and consult us with the original part number to evaluate the equivalence.
What lubrication do you recommend for these bearings?
Lubrication depends on speed, temperature and environment. For general applications, a good quality lithium grease is usually suitable. Under extreme conditions, consult the manufacturer's data sheet or contact us for advice according to your equipment.
