SKF 22226 EK/C3 Double-Row Spherical Roller Bearing

The SKF 22226 EK/C3 is a double-row spherical roller bearing engineered to support heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads while accommodating shaft misalignment in industrial rotating equipment. Its tapered bore (1:12) simplifies mounting with adapter sleeves, and the C3 internal clearance handles thermal expansion and demanding operating conditions, making it suitable for continuous-duty service. Key specs include a 130 mm bore, 230 mm outer diameter, 64 mm width, dynamic load rating of 758 kN, static load rating of 930 kN, a reference speed of 2,600 RPM and a limiting speed of 3,600 RPM; the bearing uses a stamped steel cage and is open, SKF Explorer-class, and suitable for grease or oil lubrication. Commonly deployed in gearboxes, conveyors, crushers, mining equipment, pumps and fans, it supports replacement and preventive maintenance by system integrators and maintenance teams seeking high load capacity, self-alignment, and extended bearing life; compatible replacements include FAG 22226-E1-K-C3, NSK 22226 EAKE4C3, and NTN 22226 EAKW33C3.
