Internal clearance SKF spherical
roller bearings are man-
ufactured as standard with Normal
radial internal clearance. Nearly all the
bearings are also available with a larger C3 internal clearance and some
can be supplied with a even larger C4
clearance. Some sizes can be de-
livered with C2 internal clearance
which is smaller than Normal. Check
the availability of bearings with radial Tolerances Running accuracy SKF spherical roller bearings with
cylindrical and tapered bore are pro-
duced as standard with normal toler-
ances corresponding to ISO 492:1994. In high-speed bearing arrangements
the demands on running accuracy are
often higher than usual. For such bear-
ing arrangements, the C08 execution
is recommended which has running
accuracy to ISO tolerance class 5
specifications. The values for the run-
ning accuracy are in accordance with
ISO 492:1994. Check availability of the C08 specification bearing before
ordering. Annular groove and lubricationholes Efficient lubrication of the SKF spher-
ical roller bearings is facilitated by either• three lubrication holes and an annulargroove (E design or suffix W33) or • three lubrication holes without annular groove (suffix W20). Explorer The designations of Explorer bearings
are printed in blue in the product
tables. Cylindrical or tapered bore SKF spherical roller bearings are avail-
able with cylindrical bore and tapered
bore. The tapered bore of bearings of
series 240, 241, 248 and 249 has a
taper of 1:30, whereas the bore of the
other bearing series have a taper of 1:12. >

Product data Page ............. 3Page ............. 18 The boundary dimensions of SKF
spherical roller bearings with and with-
out seals are in accordance with ISO
15:1998, except for the width of the
sealed bearings of series BS2-22.These are basically series 222 E or
222 CC bearings, but are slightly wider
to integrate the seals. Bearing data >
