Decoding SKF 23164 CC/C08W513
- 231Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 231 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 64Bore
- Bore 320 mm (64 × 5).
- CC/C08W513Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
23164 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.

For plants dealing with shaft deflection or mounting misalignment, SKF 222 CC/C3W33 spherical roller bearings offer a self-aligning, double-row solution. The CC cage, C3 clearance, and W33 lubrication feature are all built into the part number. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series to customers across the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code helps you confirm what you are ordering. The numeric portion points to the medium-width 222 series, which has two rows of symmetrical rollers. CC is the internal design: a stamped steel cage guided by the inner ring. C3 means radial internal clearance is greater than normal, a common choice for interference fits or when operating temperatures run high. W33 adds a lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring. Other sizes in the line follow the same pattern, changing only dimensions and clearance class.
These bearings suit equipment where the shaft flexes or perfect alignment is not realistic. You will find them in conveyors, mills, crushers, industrial fans, paper machines, and cranes. Mining, cement, steel, food, and chemical operations rely on them for their robustness and ability to absorb mounting error. Large centrifugal pumps and reciprocating compressors also use them when combined loads and vibration call for a self-aligning bearing.
Selection starts with radial and axial load, speed, and the surrounding environment. Choose C3 clearance when the fit is tight or temperatures exceed 100 °C. Make sure the grease or oil you use is compatible with the bearing materials and the application conditions. At mounting, check initial alignment and use the right tools to avoid ring damage. The steel cage is strong but should not be struck. The W33 groove lets you relubricate without pulling the bearing. Follow the manufacturer's guidance for residual clearance.
Equivalents from other makers may carry similar designations, yet they are not always drop-in replacements. Tolerances, internal clearance, and load capacity can differ enough to affect performance. Before swapping out an SKF bearing for another brand, verify the technical data and talk to a specialist. MR Industrial Accessories can review compatibility using the exact code and your application details.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 23164 CC/C08W513 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 23164 CC/C08W513 measures 320 mm across the bore and 540 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 176 mm (320 x 540 x 176 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 23164.
- What does C3 mean on an SKF bearing?
- C3 indicates radial internal clearance greater than normal. It is used with interference fits or high operating temperatures to compensate for thermal expansion and avoid excessive preload.
- Why is the W33 feature useful?
- W33 means the outer ring has a lubrication groove and holes. This allows relubrication without disassembly, which simplifies maintenance in demanding applications.
- Can I substitute another brand for an SKF bearing?
- Not always. Even when principal dimensions match, internal clearance, load capacity, and tolerances may vary. Check specifications and consult a specialist before substituting.
