Decoding SKF 23252 CACK/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).
- CACK/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 CACK/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 CACK/W33 spherical roller bearings are self-aligning, two-row components built to manage heavy radial loads together with axial loads in either direction. Their design allows them to compensate for angular misalignment between shaft and housing, which helps in setups where the shaft deflects or mounting is not perfect. Typical uses include mining, cement, steel, paper and power transmission equipment.
The code CACK/W33 breaks down like this: the base number (such as 23060, 23152 or 23248) sets the size and load capacity per ISO standards. The CA suffix means a one-piece machined brass cage that rides on the roller rows. K stands for a tapered bore with a 1:12 taper, so the bearing fits a tapered shaft or an adapter sleeve. W33 adds a lubrication groove and three holes in the outer ring for grease access. So a 23060 CACK/W33 is a series 230 bearing with CA cage, tapered bore and W33 lubrication.
These bearings suit high-load situations where misalignment can happen. In cement plants, they show up in mills and kilns; in mining, in crushers and conveyor belts; in steel, in rolling mills; in paper, in presses and dryers; and in power transmission equipment like gearboxes and couplings. Road machinery, cranes and port equipment also use them. The self-aligning feature makes them a good fit for long shafts that tend to deflect.
When selecting a CACK/W33 spherical roller bearing, look at radial and axial load, speed and the surrounding conditions. For a tapered bore, you will need an adapter sleeve or a tapered shaft; after mounting, check the internal clearance because over-tightening can reduce it and lead to overheating. Lubrication matters: the W33 groove and holes let you relubricate through the outer ring. Initial alignment does not have to be perfect thanks to self-alignment, but stay within the permissible angular limits.
For equivalences, SKF spherical roller bearings can be swapped with other brands that use the same standardized designations. An SKF 23060 CACK/W33 matches a bearing with tapered bore and brass cage from another maker, provided dimensions and tolerances are the same. Check the exact suffix carefully, because variants like CC, CA or E can point to different cages or load capacities.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 23252 CACK/W33 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 23252 CACK/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 suffix CACK/W33 mean in an SKF bearing?
- CACK/W33 means the bearing has a machined brass cage (CA), a tapered bore (K) and a lubrication groove with three holes in the outer ring (W33). This makes mounting on a tapered shaft and relubrication easier.
- Is this bearing self-aligning?
- Yes, spherical roller bearings are self-aligning. They compensate for angular misalignment between shaft and housing, which lowers stress and can extend service life where deflection occurs.
- How is a bearing with a tapered bore mounted?
- It mounts on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve. Check the internal clearance after tightening, because too much fit can remove it and cause failures. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
