How to read SKF C 3060 KM
- C 30Series
- CARB roller bearings, C 30 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 60Bore
- 300 mm bore: 60 × 5.
- KMSuffix
- SKF suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
C 3060 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description
The SKF C 3060 KM bearing has a 300 mm bore, a 460 mm outside diameter and a 118 mm width (300 x 460 x 118 mm).

The SKF CARB C KM series bearing is a single row toroidal roller bearing, designed to withstand high radial loads and allow angular misalignment between shaft and housing. Its compact, self-aligning design makes it ideal for applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors are unavoidable. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry this series as part of our SKF bearing line.
The C KM series designation is interpreted as follows: the letter C identifies the single row CARB bearing series; the number that follows (as in the example C 3080 KM) indicates the size and load capacity, and the KM suffix indicates that the bearing has a tapered bore with a mounting sleeve for interference fit. This combination allows for simple mounting and precise adjustment on cylindrical shafts.
These bearings are used in industries such as cement, mining, steel, paper and material handling. In Argentina, they are common in belt conveyors, mills, crushers, industrial fans and paper machines, where loads are high and alignment conditions vary. Their self-aligning capability reduces wear and extends the service life of the assembly.
To correctly select a CARB C KM series bearing, take into account the radial load, rotational speed and permissible degree of misalignment. Mounting with a tapered sleeve requires thorough cleaning and controlled adjustment; check the internal clearance after tightening the sleeve. Lubrication must be suitable for the operating temperature and speed, and ensuring correct initial alignment is essential to take advantage of the self-aligning capability.
As for equivalents, SKF CARB bearings can be interchanged with similar designs from other brands, but it is essential to verify dimensions, tolerances and load capacity before replacing. Not all toroidal rollers have the same characteristics, so we recommend consulting our technical team to validate compatibility in each application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF C 3060 KM bearing?
- The SKF C 3060 KM bearing has a 300 mm bore, a 460 mm outside diameter and a 118 mm width (300 x 460 x 118 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation C 3060.
- What does the KM suffix mean on a CARB bearing?
- The KM suffix indicates that the bearing has a tapered bore and is supplied with a mounting sleeve. This facilitates fixing on cylindrical shafts by means of an interference fit, which simplifies mounting and dismounting in industrial applications.
- When is it better to use a CARB bearing instead of a deep groove ball bearing?
- CARB is preferable when there is angular misalignment between shaft and housing, or when radial loads are high and self-alignment is required. Deep groove ball bearings do not tolerate significant misalignment and can fail prematurely under those conditions.
- How is a CARB bearing with a tapered sleeve mounted?
- The shaft and sleeve are cleaned, the bearing is placed and the lock nut is tightened with a suitable wrench. It is crucial to check the internal clearance after adjustment and to lubricate correctly. We recommend following the manufacturer's instructions and verifying alignment.
