23232-K-C3 Spherical roller bearing C3

23232-K-C3 The 23232-K-C3 is a spherical roller bearing with a 160 mm tapered bore (1:12 taper) and C3 radial internal clearance. The tapered bore design enables direct mounting on tapered shafts or adapter sleeves, while the C3 clearance accommodates thermal expansion and misalignment in operating conditions. Spherical roller bearings are double-row, self-aligning bearings designed to handle heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Common applications include industrial gearboxes, mining equipment, paper mills, vibrating screens, and heavy machinery where shaft deflection or misalignment is present.
