Decoding SKF C 4034 V/C3
- C 40Series
- CARB roller bearings, C 40 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 34Bore
- Bore 170 mm (34 × 5).
- V/C3Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
C 4034 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF C 4034 V/C3 measures 170 mm across the bore and 260 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 90 mm (170 x 260 x 90 mm).

SKF CARB bearings are self-aligning radial roller bearings with toroidal rollers. They accommodate angular misalignment between shaft and housing while carrying high radial loads. Their compact design suits equipment where shaft deflection or mounting inaccuracies would otherwise cause problems. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies the SKF CARB line to customers across the United States and Latin America.
The part number tells you the main features. In C 2212 V/C3, the C stands for the CARB family, 2212 is the size series, V means the bearing is full complement (no cage), and /C3 is radial internal clearance above normal. Other designations like C 4022 V/C3 and C 6910 V/C3 follow the same pattern, with different sizes and clearance classes to match the application.
These bearings are common in long shafts that tend to deflect, such as those in conveyors, mills, mixers, industrial fans, and paper machines. Industries that rely on them include metallurgy, cement, mining, paper, and food processing. Because they compensate for misalignment, they work well in equipment with vibration or variable loads, which helps extend bearing life and reduce maintenance.
When selecting a CARB bearing, consider the radial load, speed, and expected misalignment. Choose the internal clearance (normal, C3, or C4) based on operating temperature and fit: higher temperature or tighter interference fits call for greater clearance. Careful initial alignment during mounting is still necessary, even though the bearing handles later misalignment. Use the correct grease or oil, and make sure shaft and housing tolerances are within spec to avoid deformation.
CARB bearings can be interchanged with other brands that use the same international designation, such as toroidal bearings. However, always verify dimensions and load ratings because suffixes and tolerances may differ. Consult a specialist before substituting one brand for another to ensure compatibility and performance.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF C 4034 V/C3 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF C 4034 V/C3 measures 170 mm across the bore and 260 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 90 mm (170 x 260 x 90 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation C 4034.
- What does the V suffix mean on an SKF CARB bearing?
- The V suffix indicates a full complement design without a cage. This allows higher radial loads but reduces the limiting speed compared to caged versions.
- When should a C3 or C4 radial clearance be chosen?
- Choose C3 or C4 clearance when the bearing operates at high temperatures or with interference fits that reduce internal clearance. The extra clearance compensates for thermal expansion and prevents excessive preload.
- Are SKF CARB bearings interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, they can be interchanged with bearings from other brands that follow the same designation and dimensions. Always check tolerances and load capacities, as they may vary between manufacturers.
