Decoding SKF 3208 A-2RS1TN9/C3MT33
- 32Series
- Double row angular contact ball bearings, 32 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 08Bore
- Bore 40 mm (08 × 5).
- A-2RS1TN9/C3MT33Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
3208 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.

When an application calls for support of combined radial and axial loads in both directions, double row angular contact bearings from SKF are a common choice. Two rows of balls running on inclined raceways give the bearing its capacity for axial forces along with high rigidity. Machine tool spindles, pumps, compressors and gearboxes are typical homes for this design. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this SKF line to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code is the first step in choosing a variant. Take 3203 A-2RS1TN9/C3MT33: the leading digits set the size and series, the A stands for a particular internal design, 2RS1 means rubber seals on both sides, TN9 points to a polyamide cage, C3 signals internal radial clearance above normal, and MT33 identifies the grease type and its temperature range. Each element changes how the bearing behaves in service.
You will find these bearings in metalworking, petrochemical, food and process plants. They appear in machine tool main spindles, high-pressure pumps, screw compressors, gearboxes and power transmission equipment. Because they take axial load in both directions, they suit assemblies that need rigidity and precision, such as electric motor shafts and positioning systems.
Selection comes down to axial and radial load, operating speed and the surrounding conditions. The 2RS1 seal keeps contaminants out and lubrication in, which helps in dusty or humid areas. Choose C3 clearance where the shaft and housing run at different temperatures. Alignment of the rings and correct preload during mounting matter; misalignment shortens service life. MT33 grease is applied at the factory, though severe duty may call for relubrication.
Bearings of this type from other brands can often be interchanged when dimensions and suffixes line up. Tolerances and internal clearance still need checking, since small differences affect performance. SKF is a global reference point, and MR Industrial Accessories supplies this product. Talking to our technical team before swapping in a different brand is always worthwhile.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 3208 A-2RS1TN9/C3MT33 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 3208 A-2RS1TN9/C3MT33 measures 40 mm across the bore and 80 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 30.2 mm (40 x 80 x 30.2 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 3208.
- What does the C3 suffix mean in these bearings?
- C3 indicates internal radial clearance greater than standard. It is specified when operating conditions create thermal differences between shaft and housing, so the bearing does not end up with excessive preload.
- Do these bearings come lubricated from the factory?
- Yes. The MT33 designation means factory grease for a defined temperature range is included. Severe or high-speed duty may require relubrication following the manufacturer's recommendations.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with another brand?
- Often yes, provided dimensions, internal clearance and seal type match. Tolerances should be verified, and our technical team can confirm whether the substitute will work in your assembly.
