Decoding SKF 22226 EK
- 222Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 222 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 26Bore
- Bore 130 mm (26 × 5).
- EKSuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
22226 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 22226 EK measures 130 mm across the bore and 230 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 64 mm (130 x 230 x 64 mm).

SKF spherical roller bearings are built with two rows of rollers that self-align, so they manage heavy radial loads and axial loads in both directions even when the shaft is not perfectly straight. This makes them a practical choice for equipment where mounting errors or shaft deflection are hard to avoid. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies the SKF line to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code helps you order the right piece. Take 22205 EK: the basic number 22205 sets the size and load capacity, while the EK suffix means a tapered bore with a 1:12 taper for an adapter sleeve. Series 213, 222 and 223 each behave differently, so always confirm the full part number in the SKF catalog before specifying.
You will find these bearings in mining equipment, cement plants, steel mills, pulp plants, chain conveyors, mills, crushers, vibrating screens and agricultural machinery. They also appear in industrial fans, large centrifugal pumps and speed reducers. Dust, vibration and shock are common in these settings, and the bearing's ability to handle misalignment and heavy loads suits them well.
Selection comes down to a few key inputs: radial and axial load, rotation speed, lubrication method (grease or oil), sealing choice (open, shielded or sealed) and internal clearance. A tapered bore calls for an adapter sleeve and a precision lock nut, and you must check residual clearance after tightening. Self-alignment means initial alignment is not critical, but careful mounting still pays off. Pick a lubricant that matches the operating temperature and speed.
On interchangeability, SKF spherical roller bearings can replace other brands that use the same standardized dimensions, such as FAG, NSK, NTN or Timken, provided the basic number and suffixes line up. Tolerances and internal clearances can differ from one maker to another, so review each brand's data sheet. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies SKF and can advise on cross-references.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 22226 EK bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 22226 EK measures 130 mm across the bore and 230 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 64 mm (130 x 230 x 64 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 22226.
- What does the EK suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- EK indicates a tapered bore with a 1:12 taper, which allows mounting with an adapter sleeve. This makes it easier to adjust internal clearance and fit the bearing on a cylindrical shaft. Use the correct adapter sleeve and verify clearance after mounting.
- How do I choose between an open and a sealed bearing?
- It depends on the environment. If dust, moisture or contaminants are present, a sealed bearing (with shields or seals) is preferable. If the bearing is lubricated from a central system or runs at high speed, an open design can work. Share your application data and we can advise.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with another brand?
- Yes, if the standardized dimensions and the basic number match. Brands such as FAG, NSK or NTN have equivalents, but check tolerances and internal clearance. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies SKF and can guide you on interchangeability.
