SKF CARB C TN9/C3 bearings are self-aligning toroidal roller bearings. They handle combined loads and compensate for misalignment between shaft and housing, which is useful when equipment flexes or mounting is not perfect. MR Industrial Accessories supplies these bearings and can help you confirm the right code.
The part number breaks down into three parts. The C prefix marks the CARB series of self-aligning toroidal roller bearings. The following digits, such as C 2206, C 2207, C 2211 or C 2212, give the size and section. TN9 means a polyamide cage reinforced with fiberglass, which works at high speeds and moderate temperatures. C3 means radial internal clearance is greater than standard, which helps when fits or operating heat cause expansion.
You will find these bearings in pulp and paper mills, industrial fans, conveyor systems, textile machinery and power transmission equipment. They suit applications where alignment is not always perfect, such as high-flow pumps and ventilation systems. The self-aligning design reduces stress on the rollers and can extend service life when shafts flex or housings settle unevenly.
When selecting a bearing, consider radial and axial loads, speed and the operating environment. This series does not include seals, so use seals or covers as needed for the equipment. Choose C3 clearance when fits are tight or thermal gradients exist. Follow the equipment manufacturer's lubrication instructions; clean grease or oil and correct initial alignment help avoid premature failure.
For equivalents, SKF CARB bearings can be replaced by products from other manufacturers that share the same dimensional and functional designation, such as equivalent toroidal roller series. Always verify the complete code and tolerances before substitution. Load and speed capacities vary among self-aligning bearings, so check manufacturer tables or ask us for technical support.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the TN9 suffix mean in a SKF CARB bearing?
- TN9 indicates a polyamide cage with fiberglass reinforcement. This cage is lightweight, resistant and suitable for high speeds, and is common in CARB series with C designation.
- When should I choose a bearing with C3 clearance?
- C3 clearance is recommended when the bearing operates with tight fits, high temperatures or misalignments that cause expansion. Greater clearance prevents the rollers from becoming preloaded and damaged prematurely.
- Are SKF CARB bearings interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, as long as the dimensional and functional designation matches. SKF CARB bearings can be replaced by equivalents from other brands that offer self-aligning toroidal rollers with the same dimensions and clearance. Always check the complete code.
