Decoding SKF 3316 E
- 33Series
- Double row angular contact ball bearings, 33 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 16Bore
- Bore 80 mm (16 × 5).
- ESuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
3316 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 3316 E measures 80 mm across the bore and 170 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 68.3 mm (80 x 170 x 68.3 mm).

SKF double row angular contact bearings handle combined radial and axial loads in both directions. Two rows of balls set at opposing contact angles give the bearing high rigidity and precision, which makes it a common choice for demanding rotating equipment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries.
Reading the part number helps you confirm what you are ordering. Take 3209 E: the 32 identifies the double row angular contact type, the 2 is the light dimension series (a 3 would mean medium series), and the final two digits give the bore diameter. The E suffix marks an optimized design with higher load capacity. The same pattern applies to 3311 E and 3316 E, which differ only in size and series.
These bearings suit equipment where combined loads and precision matter. Typical installations include machine tool spindles, centrifugal pumps, compressors, gearboxes, transmission equipment, vehicle wheels and agricultural machinery. Because they accept axial loads in both directions, they work well where the load direction reverses, such as in lifting systems and drive shafts.
Selection comes down to the load the bearing must carry, the rotation speed and the operating environment. Decide between open and sealed versions based on contamination and how lubrication is handled. Internal clearance and preload also influence performance. At mounting, alignment and lubrication must be correct; the opposing ball rows already provide axial guidance, but poor installation shortens service life.
For replacements, SKF double row angular contact bearings interchange with other brands that use the same dimensional designation. Load capacities and tolerances are not identical across manufacturers, so compare the technical data before substituting a bearing. The MR team can point you to suitable equivalents and verify compatibility with your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 3316 E bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 3316 E measures 80 mm across the bore and 170 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 68.3 mm (80 x 170 x 68.3 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 3316.
- What does the E suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- It indicates an optimized design, generally with higher load capacity and better performance. It appears on ball bearings across several series.
- How do I choose between an open and a sealed bearing?
- Look at the environment: sealed for contaminated conditions, open where lubrication is external and the surroundings are clean. Sealed versions need less maintenance but add friction.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with another brand?
- Yes, provided the dimensions and load capacities match. Check tolerances and internal clearance. MR can advise so the replacement is safe.
