How to read the 23232 designation
| Segment | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 2 | Spherical roller bearing (double row, self-aligning) |
| 32 | Dimension series 32 |
| 32 | Bore code 32 → 160 mm bore. ISO bore code (00–03 = 10/12/15/17 mm; 04 and above = code × 5 mm). |
23232 interchange
23232 is an ISO designation: bore d, outside diameter D and width B are the same at each maker. The letters each maker adds are design and cage codes, not seal codes; K marks a tapered bore, and each maker marks the oil groove and holes in its own way. Send us the full number on your old bearing and we confirm the match.

Tolerances and fits for 23232
FULI makes 23232 to P0 as standard, with P6 on request. P0 is the Normal tolerance class of ISO 492; P6 limits are tighter. These are the P0 limits for the 160 × 290 × 104 mm size.
| Dimension | Nominal, mm | Deviation, µm | Limits, mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bore d (Δdmp) | 160 | 0 / −25 | 160.000 / 159.975 |
| Outside diameter D (ΔDmp) | 290 | 0 / −35 | 290.000 / 289.965 |
| Width B (ΔBs) | 104 | 0 / −250 | 104.000 / 103.750 |
Δdmp and ΔDmp: deviation of the mean bore and mean outside diameter in one radial plane. ΔBs: inner ring width; the outer ring width has the same limits.
Shaft and housing fits (general guidance)
For an inner ring that turns with a solid steel shaft under normal load, bearing makers’ fit tables give 160 p6 for the shaft of 23232. The housing bore is usually H7, or J7 where the outer ring must not creep.
| Seat | Deviation, µm | Limits, mm | Fit with 23232 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shaft 160 p6 | +68 / +43 | 160.068 / 160.043 | 43 to 93 µm interference |
| Housing 290 H7 | +52 / 0 | 290.052 / 290.000 | 0 to 87 µm clearance |
| Housing 290 J7 | +36 / −16 | 290.036 / 289.984 | 16 µm interference to 71 µm clearance |
Taking the loosest and the tightest combination of limits, a P0 23232 on a 160 mm p6 shaft has 43 to 93 µm interference. Its outer ring has 0 to 87 µm clearance in an H7 bore and 16 µm interference to 71 µm clearance in a J7 bore.
This is general guidance, not a FULI specification. Heavy or shock loads, a hollow shaft, a thin-walled, split or light-alloy housing, or a large temperature difference between shaft and housing call for other classes, and the drawing of your machine takes priority. A tight shaft fit or a hot housing uses up internal clearance, and that is when C3 is chosen instead of C0.
If the outer ring turns and the shaft stands still, as in an idler pulley or a wheel hub, the fits are reversed: the housing gets the interference fit (for example N7 or P7) and the shaft a sliding one (g6 or h6).

23232 weight, load ratings and speed
FULI's catalog gives the weight of 23232 as about 31.00 kg, so 100 bearings weigh about 3100 kg and 1,000 about 31000 kg before packing. The cylindrical bore (W33) and tapered bore (K/W33) versions share this catalog line.
23232 has a dynamic load rating Cr of 1220 kN and a static load rating C0r of 1660 kN. Cr is the load used to work out rating life; C0r is the reference for loads carried while the bearing is stationary or turning slowly. The catalog lists two speed values, 1,500 and 2,200 rpm, without stating the lubrication for each column.

23232 bore and clearance versions
FULI's catalog lists 23232 in two bore versions on one line, both 160 × 290 × 104 mm: 23232W33 with a cylindrical bore and 23232K/W33 with a 1:12 tapered bore. W33 marks the lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring. The K version is mounted on an adapter sleeve, a withdrawal sleeve or a tapered shaft seat. Radial clearance is C0 as standard and C3 on request.
| Designation | What it is |
|---|---|
| 23232W33 | Cylindrical 160 mm bore, lubrication groove and holes, C0 clearance |
| 23232K/W33 | Tapered bore 1:12 for sleeve mounting, lubrication groove and holes |
| 23232W33 C3 | Cylindrical bore with C3 radial clearance |
| 23232K/W33 C3 | Tapered bore with C3 radial clearance |
23232 dimensions in inches
The nearest common inch shaft size to the 160 mm bore of 23232 is 6-5/16 in (160.34 mm), 0.34 mm larger than the bore, so 23232 will not go on it. Inch shafts need an inch bearing, not a metric one with a sleeve or shim.
| Dimension | Millimetres | Inches |
|---|---|---|
| Bore d | 160 mm | 6.2992 in |
| Outside diameter D | 290 mm | 11.4173 in |
| Width B | 104 mm | 4.0945 in |
Converted at 1 in = 25.4 mm and rounded to four decimals. The bearing itself is made to the millimetre sizes.
Grease for 23232
Relubricating 23232 from the side takes about 150.8 g each time by the formula in our grease calculator: 0.005 × D × B = 0.005 × 290 × 104. 23232W33 has a lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring; when grease goes in through them the formula is 0.002 × D × B, about 60.3 g for 23232.
How FULI supplies 23232
The standard 23232 from FULI has GCr15 chrome steel rings and rollers, P0 precision and C0 radial clearance, with P6 and C3 on request.
Rings are marked with a brand you are authorised to use, with the FULI brand, or left neutral, as your order states. The box is printed with the model, precision class and brand.
Inquiries that leave out the prefix or suffix letters are the usual cause of a wrong quote, so write the full designation, for example 23232K/W33 C3.

FAQ
What size is 23232 in inches?
23232 is 6.2992 × 11.4173 × 4.0945 in (160 × 290 × 104 mm, d × D × B). The nearest common inch shaft size to the 160 mm bore of 23232 is 6-5/16 in (160.34 mm), 0.34 mm larger than the bore, so 23232 will not go on it. Use an inch bearing on an inch shaft.
How much does 23232 weigh?
About 31.00 kg in FULI's catalog, so 100 pieces weigh about 3100 kg before packing. The cylindrical bore (W33) and tapered bore (K/W33) versions share this catalog line.
How much grease does 23232 need?
About 150.8 g each time it is relubricated from the side (0.005 × 290 × 104).
Is 23232 the same size across brands?
Bore d, outside diameter D and width B are the same: 23232 is an ISO designation. The letters each maker adds (SKF E or CC, NSK CE4, EAE4 or CDE4, NTN EAD1, Koyo RZ, NACHI EX or E, FAG E1-XL) are design and cage codes, not seal codes. K marks a tapered bore, and the oil groove and holes are marked differently by each maker (SKF W33, NSK E4, NTN D1).
