FAQ

What does the ‘C3’ suffix mean for the SKF 16038/C3 bearing?

The C3 suffix indicates that the bearing has a radial internal clearance that is greater than ‘Normal’. This is often required in applications with high speeds, temperature gradients, or where a press fit is used on both rings, as it compensates for thermal expansion and fitting effects.

Is this bearing suitable for applications with both radial and axial loads?

Yes, deep groove ball bearings like the 16038/C3 are designed to accommodate both radial and axial loads in both directions. Their deep raceway grooves allow them to sustain moderate axial loads even at high speeds.

What is the recommended lubrication procedure for a new SKF 16038/C3 open bearing?

As an open bearing, the 16038/C3 must be lubricated upon installation. The choice between grease and oil depends on the operating speed and temperature. For most applications, a high-quality lithium-based grease is suitable. Ensure the bearing is filled to the appropriate level (typically 30-50 percent of free space) to avoid overheating.
