Decoding SKF N 318 ECP/C3
- N 3Series
- Cylindrical roller bearings, N 3 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 18Bore
- Bore 90 mm (18 × 5).
- ECP/C3Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
N 318 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF N 318 ECP/C3 measures 90 mm across the bore and 190 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 43 mm (90 x 190 x 43 mm).

SKF cylindrical roller bearings in the ECP/C3 series are built to handle high radial loads and high speeds. The cylindrical rollers and polyamide cage support precise, durable operation in demanding industrial settings. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to customers across the United States and Latin America.
The part number tells you a lot about the bearing. Take N 215 ECP/C3: the first letter shows the execution type, the middle number gives the size, and the suffixes ECP and C3 describe internal design and radial clearance. ECP means a polyamide cage with an optimized design; C3 means radial clearance is greater than standard. The middle number changes with bearing size. Reading these codes helps you match the bearing to the application quickly.
These bearings appear in conveyors, pumps, fans, machine tools and power transmission equipment. Their capacity for radial loads and high speeds suits tough environments. Food processing, cement, mining and petrochemical operations often rely on this type of component for critical processes.
Selecting the right cylindrical roller bearing means checking radial load, speed and operating conditions. If dust or moisture is present, sealing matters, so consider sealed variants. Choose C3 clearance when thermal expansion or interference fits are expected. Correct lubrication and accurate alignment during mounting help extend service life. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for assembly and lubrication.
When replacing a bearing, remember that cylindrical roller bearings from different brands can vary in internal design, tolerances and suffixes. Check not only the bore, outer diameter and width but also the cage type, radial clearance and operating conditions. Not every code interchanges directly. A specialist can confirm compatibility before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF N 318 ECP/C3 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF N 318 ECP/C3 measures 90 mm across the bore and 190 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 43 mm (90 x 190 x 43 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation N 318.
- What does the suffix ECP mean in an SKF bearing?
- The suffix ECP indicates a polyamide cage and an optimized internal design for greater load capacity and speed. Always verify the complete code to ensure compatibility with your application.
- When should I use a bearing with C3 radial clearance?
- C3 radial clearance is advisable when thermal expansion, interference fits or high speeds are expected. It is also used in applications where the bearing operates at high temperatures. Consult our technical team to evaluate your case.
- How do I know if a bearing from another brand is equivalent to SKF?
- To determine equivalences, compare main dimensions, cage type, radial clearance and operating conditions. Not all codes are directly interchangeable. At MR Industrial Accessories we help you find the right replacement.
