How to read SKF C 3140 K
- C 31Series
- CARB roller bearings, C 31 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 40Bore
- 200 mm bore: 40 × 5.
- KSuffix
- SKF suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
C 3140 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description
The SKF C 3140 K bearing has a 200 mm bore, a 340 mm outside diameter and a 112 mm width (200 x 340 x 112 mm).

SKF CARB roller bearings are radial bearings with toroidally profiled rollers, designed to withstand combined loads and compensate for angular misalignment. They are used in applications where shaft deflection or alignment errors require self-aligning capability, such as gearboxes, paper machines and mining equipment. At MR Accesorios Industriales we supply the SKF line with technical advice to select the right suffix.
The designation of SKF CARB bearings follows a clear scheme. The letter C indicates a single row radial bearing with toroidally profiled rollers. The numbers that follow, as in C 2215 K, C 2216 K or C 2220 K, correspond to the size code that defines the bore diameter and the dimension series. The suffix K indicates a tapered bore, generally 1:12 taper, which facilitates mounting on shafts with an adapter sleeve or directly on tapers. Other suffixes may indicate cage variants, internal clearance or special heat treatment, so it is advisable to verify the complete code at the time of inquiry.
These bearings find application in industries where shafts undergo deflection or misalignment. In Argentina they are used in mill gearboxes, in the cement industry, in pulp and paper machines, and in mining equipment. They also appear in industrial fans, high-flow pumps and high-load conveyors. Their ability to compensate for angular misalignment without losing load capacity makes them suitable for assemblies where perfect alignment between supports cannot be guaranteed.
To select an SKF CARB bearing, take into account the radial and axial load it must withstand, the rotational speed and the expected degree of misalignment. The tapered bore with suffix K requires correct fitting on the shaft or adapter sleeve; mounting with inadequate internal clearance can reduce service life. Lubrication must be chosen according to temperature and environment: grease for general applications or oil in high-speed systems. Initial alignment, even though the bearing is self-aligning, remains important to avoid parasitic loads.
As for equivalences, SKF CARB bearings can be interchanged with bearings from other brands that follow similar designations, such as toroidal bearings from other companies. However, not all manufacturers offer exactly the same internal geometry or the same suffixes. Therefore, when looking for a replacement, it is essential to compare not only the size code but also the bore type, internal clearance and operating conditions. MR Accesorios Industriales can help you find the right equivalent without compromising performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF C 3140 K bearing?
- The SKF C 3140 K bearing has a 200 mm bore, a 340 mm outside diameter and a 112 mm width (200 x 340 x 112 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation C 3140.
- What does the suffix K mean in an SKF CARB bearing?
- The suffix K indicates that the bearing has a tapered bore, normally with 1:12 taper. This allows it to be mounted on a tapered shaft or by means of an adapter sleeve, facilitating adjustment of internal clearance.
- How do CARB bearings differ from cylindrical roller bearings?
- CARB bearings have toroidally profiled rollers that allow compensation for angular misalignment, while cylindrical ones are not self-aligning. CARB bearings can also withstand moderate axial loads in one direction.
- How do I choose the right size of a CARB bearing?
- You must consider radial and axial load, speed, expected misalignment and the dimensions of the shaft and housing. The numeric code indicates the size; consult us with your application data for a precise recommendation.
