Construction and design

The SKF 2316 KM C3 bearing features a self aligning design with two rows of balls and a spherical raceway in the outer ring.

Main construction features include:

two rows of balls
spherical outer ring raceway
self aligning capability
cage guiding the rolling elements
tapered bore for mounting with adapter sleeves

The spherical outer ring raceway allows the bearing to adjust to angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. This feature significantly reduces stress on the bearing and increases service life.

The KM designation indicates a tapered bore design that allows mounting using adapter sleeves, while C3 clearance indicates increased internal radial clearance for improved performance in higher temperature or higher speed applications.
