23230-K-C3 Spherical roller bearing C3

23230-K-C3 The 23230-K-C3 is a spherical roller bearing from the 232 series, featuring a 150 mm tapered bore (1:12 taper) and C3 radial internal clearance. The tapered bore design facilitates mounting on tapered shafts or adapter sleeves, while the C3 clearance accommodates thermal expansion and misalignment in operating conditions. Spherical roller bearings are self-aligning and suitable for heavy radial loads and moderate thrust loads in both directions. Common applications include mining equipment, paper mills, gearboxes, marine propulsion systems, and other industrial machinery where shaft deflection or misalignment is expected.
