How to read SKF C 2238
- C 22Series
- CARB roller bearings, C 22 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 38Bore
- 190 mm bore: 38 × 5.
C 2238 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description

CARB roller bearings are self-aligning radial bearings with a single row of rollers, designed to support combined loads and compensate for angular misalignment. They are used in applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors require self-aligning capability, such as transmissions, pumps and process equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the SKF line with technical advice to select the correct part number.
The C designation followed by a four-digit number identifies the series and the size. For example, C 2216 corresponds to series 22 and a specific size; C 2314 to series 23; C 3040 to series 30. The first two digits indicate the dimension series and the last two the bore diameter. In CARB, suffixes may indicate cage, tolerance or internal design variants, but for each item it is essential to check the manufacturer's data sheet to know the exact characteristics.
These bearings are used in industries such as food, chemical, cement and steel, in equipment where there is shaft deflection or alignment difficulties. They are common in belt drives, centrifugal pumps, fans, mixers and conveyors. Their self-aligning capability reduces the risk of premature failures due to misalignment and simplifies mounting in applications with long shafts or separate supports.
To select a CARB, consider the radial and axial load, the speed, the lubrication and the sealing. These bearings allow angular misalignment, but it is important to respect the limits indicated by the manufacturer. Mounting requires shafts and housings with suitable tolerances; lubrication can be grease or oil, and sealing will depend on the environment. Correct initial alignment extends service life, even though the bearing compensates for subsequent misalignment.
As for equivalences, SKF CARB bearings can be interchanged with products from other manufacturers that follow similar designations, but there is no universal standardization of these codes. Each brand may have its own nomenclature and capacities. Therefore, when looking for a replacement, it is essential to verify dimensions, load capacity and design characteristics in the corresponding catalogues, and not to rely only on the similarity of the code.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF C 2238 bearing?
- The SKF C 2238 bearing has a 190 mm bore, a 340 mm outside diameter and a 92 mm width (190 x 340 x 92 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation C 2238.
- What does the C designation mean in CARB bearings?
- The letter C indicates that it is a CARB bearing, a type of self-aligning roller bearing. The numbers that follow indicate the dimension series and the bore size. For example, C 2216 corresponds to series 22 with a specific bore diameter.
- Do SKF CARB bearings allow misalignment?
- Yes, CARB bearings are designed to compensate for angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing. This makes them suitable for applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors can cause misalignment. However, it is important to respect the limits specified by the manufacturer.
- How do I request a quote for SKF CARB bearings?
- You can send the complete bearing part number by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. Our technical team will verify the designation and provide you with a quote with no obligation. We can also advise you if you need help identifying the right product.
