FAQ

What does the suffix '/C3VT143' mean for this SKF bearing?

The 'C3' indicates that the bearing has an internal radial clearance greater than Normal, which is necessary for applications with temperature differences between the inner and outer rings or for press fits. The 'VT143' specifies the type of factory-filled grease, which is Polylub HVT, a high-temperature grease suitable for the demanding environments this bearing is designed for.

Is the BS2-2212-2CS suitable for applications with misalignment?

Yes, as a self-aligning ball bearing, its primary feature is the ability to accommodate static and dynamic misalignment. The spherical outer ring raceway allows the inner ring, balls, and cage to rotate freely around the bearing center, compensating for shaft deflection or housing alignment errors.

What are the main applications for the SKF BS2-2212-2CS bearing?

This bearing is specifically designed for the roller segments of continuous casting machines in the steel industry. Its features, including the cylindrical outer ring, robust sealing (2CS), special grease (VT143), and ability to handle misalignment, make it ideal for the high temperatures, heavy loads, and contaminated environments found in these applications.
