SKF 3218 A C3 Double Row Angular Contact Bearing

SKF 3218 A C3 is a double-row angular contact bearing with a 90 mm bore and 160 mm outer diameter, designed to carry combined radial and axial loads. The C3 internal clearance indicates more space between raceways than normal, accommodating thermal expansion and mounting tolerances. Manufactured by SKF, this bearing uses a double-row configuration to balance load capacity and stiffness in a compact package, making it suitable for machinery and equipment where precise load transfer is required under varying load directions. The 3218 A C3 designation specifies the bore and outer dimensions and the clearance class, aligning with standard SKF mounting practices for double-row angular contact designs.
