FAG22232E1C3Spherical Roller Bearing – 160 mm ID, 290 mm OD, 80 mm Width, Straight Bore, W33, C3 Clearance

Product Description

What this part is

FAG 22232-E1-C3 is a double-row spherical roller bearing. Bore Diameter: 160 mm. Outside Diameter: 290 mm. Overall Width: 80 mm. Number Of Rows: 2. Rolling Elements: Spherical Roller. Bore Type: Straight. Closure Type: Open. Bearing Material: Chrome steel. Item Weight: 22.52 kg (49.64 lb).

Decoding the designation

222 — Double-row spherical roller series to DIN 635-2. Both rows run in a common spherical outer raceway, so the bearing takes heavy radial load, thrust in both directions and shaft misalignment together.

32 — Bore code. Multiply by five: 160 mm.

E1 — Reinforced design with an enlarged roller complement.

C3 — Internal Clearance: C3, greater than normal.

W33 — Annular groove in the outer ring outside diameter with three radial holes through to the rolling elements. Groove width 15 mm, hole diameter 8 mm. The passage takes grease or oil from the housing lubrication port and distributes it around the full circumference.

What these specs mean in practice

Dynamic Load Rating: 1,150,000 N. Static Load Rating: 1,400,000 N. Limiting Speed: 2,650 rpm. Reference Speed: 1,900 rpm. Fatigue load limit, radial: 129,000 N. Internal Clearance: C3. Lubricant: grease or oil. Operating temperature range: -30 °C to +200 °C.

On a double-row spherical roller the static rating sits above the dynamic rating, which is normal for the type. Dynamic axial load factor 3.93, static axial load factor 2.58, with the factor change at an Fa/Fr ratio of 0.26.

Series: 222. Base Number: 22232.

Mounting data

Minimum shaft shoulder diameter 174 mm. Maximum housing shoulder diameter 276 mm. Outer ring bore diameter 258.2 mm. Raceway diameter of the inner ring 190.9 mm. Minimum chamfer dimension 3 mm; maximum housing recess radius 2.5 mm.

Bore Type: Straight, so the bearing mounts directly on a cylindrical shaft seat.

Quantity and configuration

Unit Quantity: 1 Pc.

Interchange guidance

Same-envelope, same-clearance equivalents: SKF 22232 CC/W33 C3, NSK 22232CAME4C3, NTN 22232EAD1C3, Timken 22232EJW33C3 and Koyo 22232RHAC3. Clearance is part of the match: a CN-clearance bearing of the same number is a related execution, not a substitute where C3 was specified.
