Decoding SKF 23252 CAC/W33
- 232Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 232 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 52Bore
- Bore 260 mm (52 × 5).
- CAC/W33Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
23252 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 23252 CAC/W33 measures 260 mm across the bore and 480 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 174 mm (260 x 480 x 174 mm).

SKF CAC/W33 spherical roller bearings are double-row, self-aligning bearings with a cylindrical bore and a lubrication groove on the outer ring. They handle high radial loads and axial loads in both directions while tolerating angular misalignment. These bearings suit industrial equipment where precise alignment is hard to maintain, such as heavy drives, mills, and mining machinery.
The part number combines a size code with suffixes that define design details. Take 23072 CAC/W33: the 230 prefix indicates the diameter and width series, CAC specifies the internal design with a brass cage and roller guidance, and W33 denotes the lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring. Other sizes in the same family include 23156 CAC/W33 and 23264 CAC/W33. Reading these codes helps you confirm the features of each bearing before ordering.
In US plants, these bearings appear in crushing equipment, cement mills, high-capacity conveyors, cranes, and steelmaking machinery. Their capacity for combined loads and misalignment makes them suitable for assemblies where shafts flex or structures are not perfectly rigid. They are also found in large industrial fans and presses. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this SKF line to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries.
When selecting a bearing, consider the radial and axial loads, rotation speed, and lubrication method. The W33 groove simplifies relubrication, but you must choose the right lubricant and follow the correct intervals. During mounting, check initial alignment and avoid impacts that could damage the rollers or cage. Internal clearance is set according to the shaft and housing fits; consult the recommended tolerances for each application.
Spherical roller bearings with standardized dimensions are often interchangeable between brands, even though designations differ. For a replacement, compare the main dimensions, load capacity, and suffixes that indicate features such as cage or lubrication. Do not rely on the series number alone; verify that the internal design is equivalent. If you are unsure, the MR technical team can help you find a suitable equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 23252 CAC/W33 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 23252 CAC/W33 measures 260 mm across the bore and 480 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 174 mm (260 x 480 x 174 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 23252.
- What does the CAC suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
- The CAC suffix indicates an internal design with a two-piece brass cage and roller guidance on the inner ring. This affects load capacity and limiting speed. When replacing the bearing, respect this designation to maintain original performance.
- What is the W33 groove for?
- The W33 groove is an annular groove in the outer ring with holes that allow lubricant to reach the rollers directly. It facilitates relubrication and improves lubricant distribution, extending bearing service life in demanding applications.
- How do I choose the right spherical roller bearing for my machine?
- Consider the radial and axial load, speed, environment, and mounting type. Verify shaft and housing dimensions, and choose the suffix that matches your lubrication and cage needs. If you have doubts, consult us with your equipment data.
