Decoding SKF 23068 CCK/C082W33VA9B4
- 230Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 230 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 68Bore
- Bore 340 mm (68 × 5).
- CCK/C082W33VA9B4Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
23068 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.

When a shaft flexes or the housing isn't perfectly aligned, a self-aligning bearing keeps the machine running. The SKF 23060 CCK/C082W33VA9B4 is a double-row spherical roller bearing that handles radial and axial loads in both directions. Its design allows the inner ring to adjust within the outer ring, compensating for misalignment that would damage rigid bearings. This makes it a practical choice for heavy equipment where mounting tolerances are less than ideal.
The part number tells you what you're getting. The series 230 is a medium-section spherical roller bearing. CCK means a steel cage and a tapered bore. C082 is a special radial clearance. W33 adds a lubrication groove and three holes in the outer ring. VA9 is a high-temperature execution. B4 indicates a surface treatment. Each suffix matters when you're matching a replacement.
You'll find these bearings in cement plants, mines, steel mills, and paper machines. They show up in crushers, vibrating screens, ball mills, gear reducers, and continuous casting equipment. Anywhere loads are heavy and conditions are dirty, this bearing type is common. The self-aligning feature helps in grinding plants, quarries, and oilseed processing, where shaft deflection and contamination are part of daily operation.
To choose the right one, start with the radial and axial loads, then check the speed and environment. A tapered bore needs a controlled interference fit, usually with an adapter sleeve. Lubrication—grease or oil—must match the application, and you should follow relubrication intervals. Initial alignment is less critical because the bearing self-aligns, but don't exceed the permissible misalignment limits.
SKF spherical roller bearings can often be interchanged with other brands like FAG, NSK, or NTN if the dimensional designation matches. But suffixes and tolerances can differ, so always verify the interchangeability tables and technical specs before substituting. When in doubt, send us the complete code and we'll help you confirm.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 23068 CCK/C082W33VA9B4 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 23068 CCK/C082W33VA9B4 measures 340 mm across the bore and 520 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 133 mm (340 x 520 x 133 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 23068.
- What does the W33 suffix mean in an SKF spherical roller bearing?
- W33 means the outer ring has a lubrication groove and three lubrication holes. This makes relubrication easier and helps with heat dissipation in tough applications.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with one from another brand?
- Often yes, if the main dimensions and load ratings match. But check suffixes and tolerances carefully—they can vary. Send us the code and we'll help you find an equivalent.
- How is a bearing with a tapered bore mounted?
- It's mounted on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve, using a controlled interference fit. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid damage and set the correct radial clearance.
