Decoding SKF 2317 KM
- 23Series
- Self-aligning ball bearings, 23 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 17Bore
- Bore 85 mm (17 × 5).
- KMSuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
2317 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 2317 KM measures 85 mm across the bore and 180 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 60 mm (85 x 180 x 60 mm).

Self-aligning ball bearings in the SKF KM series combine a spherical outer ring with a cylindrical bore, so they handle radial and axial loads in both directions. The KM suffix points to a tapered bore, which simplifies mounting on tapered shafts or adapter sleeves. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line within its range of SKF bearings.
Reading the designation helps you confirm the mounting style before you order. The base number sets the size and load capacity, while KM tells you the bore is tapered at 1:12. A 1224 KM, for instance, sits in the 12 series with a tapered bore, and a 2222 KM belongs to the 22 series with the same bore type.
These bearings suit equipment where shafts are long or prone to deflection, since the self-aligning action compensates for angular misalignment that would wear out other bearing types. Typical uses include belt conveyors, textile machines, bottling lines, industrial fans and agricultural machinery, as well as food, chemical and metallurgical plants that value robustness and low maintenance.
Selection depends on the radial and axial loads involved, the rotational speed and the operating environment. Clean the shaft and housing thoroughly, use the correct tools to protect the raceways, and apply the lubricant specified by the manufacturer. Checking shaft and housing alignment lets the bearing use its self-aligning capacity fully, and any seal present keeps contaminants out.
For replacements, products from other makers with the same designation and standardized dimensions can serve as equivalents, but tolerances and internal clearance may differ. Review the technical specifications before swapping a bearing so the installation performs as intended.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 2317 KM bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 2317 KM measures 85 mm across the bore and 180 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 60 mm (85 x 180 x 60 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 2317.
- What does the KM suffix indicate on an SKF bearing?
- It means the bore is tapered at 1:12, so the bearing mounts on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve. This eases mounting and dismounting and allows internal clearance to be adjusted.
- Where are KM series self-aligning ball bearings used?
- They fit applications with combined radial and axial loads and possible misalignment between shaft and housing, such as conveyors, fans, textile machines and agricultural equipment. The self-aligning feature helps reduce wear.
- How do you mount a self-aligning ball bearing with a tapered bore?
- Mount it on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve. Clean the surfaces, apply the correct pressure and check internal clearance after mounting. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and use suitable tools.
