23232-C4 Spherical roller bearing C4

23232-C4 The 23232-C4 is a spherical roller bearing with a 160mm bore diameter from the 232 series, featuring C4 internal radial clearance for applications requiring greater clearance than standard C3. Spherical roller bearings use barrel-shaped rollers running on a common spherical outer ring raceway, providing self-aligning capability to accommodate shaft deflection and misalignment. This bearing type is commonly used in heavy industrial applications including mining equipment, construction machinery, pulp and paper mills, and gearboxes where high radial loads, moderate thrust loads, and compensation for misalignment are required. The C4 clearance is suitable for applications with thermal expansion, interference fits, or operational conditions that reduce internal clearance.
