Decoding SKF 22308 E/VA405
- 223Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 223 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 08Bore
- Bore 40 mm (08 × 5).
- E/VA405Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
22308 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 22308 E/VA405 measures 40 mm across the bore and 90 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 33 mm (40 x 90 x 33 mm).

When shafts flex or alignment is less than perfect, SKF 223 E/VA405 spherical roller bearings keep equipment running. These self-aligning, double-row bearings handle high radial loads and angular misalignment, making them a common choice in industrial transmissions, mining equipment and heavy machinery.
The 223 series covers medium-section spherical roller bearings with two rows of rollers and a spherical outer raceway. The E suffix denotes an optimized design, while VA405 identifies a specific execution specification, typically tied to tolerances and internal clearance. Sizes in this series include 22308 E/VA405, 22310 E/VA405, 22311 E/VA405, 22312 E/VA405, 22313 E/VA405 and 22314 E/VA405, each with a different bore diameter.
These bearings are found in cement, mining, steel and aggregate processing. Crushers, vibrating screens, conveyors, mills and speed reducers are typical hosts. In such settings, loads are severe and maintaining perfect alignment is difficult, so the self-aligning capability becomes valuable.
Selecting the right bearing means reviewing radial and axial loads, rotational speed and the allowable misalignment. During mounting, check shaft and housing alignment; even though the bearing is self-aligning, excessive error shortens service life. Lubrication—grease or oil as appropriate—must be applied in the correct amount and at the right interval. Sealing is equally important to keep lubricant in and contaminants out; sealed and shielded variants exist.
For cross-referencing, SKF spherical roller bearings can be interchanged with other brands that follow the same dimensional designation, such as FAG, NSK or NTN, provided tolerances and clearance match. The VA405 suffix is specific to SKF, so verify technical equivalence when substituting another brand.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 22308 E/VA405 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 22308 E/VA405 measures 40 mm across the bore and 90 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 33 mm (40 x 90 x 33 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 22308.
- What does the VA405 suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- VA405 is a particular execution specification that may involve special tolerances, controlled internal clearance or surface treatments. It is not a generic code; consult the data sheet for the exact characteristics of each size.
- Can this bearing be interchanged with other brands?
- Yes, dimensionally it can be interchanged with bearings from other brands that share the same basic designation, such as 22308, 22310, etc. However, VA405 is specific to SKF, so confirm that tolerances and clearance are equivalent.
- How is a spherical roller bearing mounted?
- Mount it with the proper fit on the shaft and in the housing, ensuring good initial alignment. Although it is self-aligning, excessive error shortens its life. Use suitable tools and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for lubrication and sealing.
