The SKF CARB bearing C K/HA series is a toroidal roller bearing, self-aligning and with a reduced section. It is used in applications where there is misalignment between shaft and housing, and where axial space is limited. Its design allows small oscillations and absorbs deformations without losing load capacity. It is a common solution in power transmission, process equipment and vibrating machinery. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this SKF line and advises you to choose the correct part number.
The C K/HA series designation reads as follows: the letter C identifies the CARB category; the number that follows —3038, 3044, 3052 in the examples— indicates the size and load capacity; the K indicates the tapered bore, which facilitates mounting with an adapter sleeve; and the suffix HA plus a digit (HA3 in the examples) refers to the special heat treatment for high temperatures. The last number, such as the 4 in HA3C4, defines the internal clearance. With that data you can order the exact bearing.
In Argentine industry, CARB C K/HA series bearings appear in equipment where perfect alignment is not guaranteed: conveyor belts, vibrating screens, mills, mixers and pulp and paper machines. They are also found in high-flow pumps, industrial fans and gearboxes subjected to shaft deflection. Their self-aligning capacity reduces wear and extends service life under severe conditions.
To select the correct bearing, take into account radial and axial load, rotation speed, working temperature and lubrication type. The tapered bore K requires a suitable mounting sleeve and a precision lock nut to secure it. Check the C4 internal clearance if you will work at elevated temperatures, and choose the seal according to the environment: open for oil lubrication, or with shields to retain grease. Initial alignment and clean lubrication are key to performance.
SKF CARB bearings are interchangeable with other brands offering equivalent designs, such as toroidal bearings from European or Asian manufacturers. Interchangeability depends on the main dimensions —bore, outer diameter and width— and the bore type. Always verify the clearance and heat treatment suffix, because not all brands use the same nomenclature. If you need an alternative, consult us with the full part number and we'll help you find the equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF C 3038 K/HA3C4 bearing?
- The SKF C 3038 K/HA3C4 bearing has a 190 mm bore, a 290 mm outside diameter and a 75 mm width (190 x 290 x 75 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation C 3038.
- What does the K suffix mean on a CARB bearing?
- The letter K indicates that the bearing has a tapered bore. This allows mounting it on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve, which facilitates adjustment and dismounting. It is a common option when firm and precise locking is needed.
- What is the HA3C4 suffix for?
- The HA3 suffix identifies a special heat treatment for high temperatures, and the final number C4 indicates a larger internal clearance than standard. This combination is useful in applications where the bearing runs hot and needs to tolerate expansions without losing function.
- How do I request a quote for an SKF CARB bearing?
- Send the full part number via WhatsApp, for example C 3038 K/HA3C4. With that data we'll send you the quote and advise you. If you are not sure of the part number, tell us the dimensions and the application so we can advise you.
