Before you order

Three checks for the 23156

Most wrong replacements come from one of these. Each answer below comes from the ENRO model table.

01 · Size

Does the size match?

Measure bore, outside diameter and width. The 23156 is 280 × 460 × 146 mm. If one value differs, see the adjacent sizes below.

02 · Version

Which version do you need?

ENRO lists 2 versions: 23156W33, 23156K/W33. Match the seals, shields or bore type of the old bearing.

Versions table →
03 · Load

Is the load rating enough?

Cr 2650 kN, C0r 4250 kN (catalog reference values). Check the life at your load and speed.

Reading the number

What “23156” means

  • 231 — bearing type and dimension series code.
  • 56 — bore code: code 56 × 5 = 280 mm.

23156 variants: 23156W33 / 23156K/W33

Selection notes for the 23156

How this size sits against its neighbours in the 23100 series and the other spherical roller bearing series with the same bore. Every figure is from the ENRO model table.

  • The 23156 is the fifteenth of twenty-six sizes ENRO lists in the 23100 series, 280 × 460 × 146 mm.
  • Next size down, the 23152, is 260 × 440 × 144 mm: twenty millimetres less bore, twenty millimetres less outside diameter, two millimetres narrower.
  • Next size up, the 23160, is 300 × 500 × 160 mm: twenty millimetres more bore, 40 mm more outside diameter, fourteen millimetres wider.
  • Seven other ENRO spherical roller bearings share the 280 mm bore: the 24056 (24000 series) is 420 × 140 mm, 40 mm less outside diameter and six millimetres narrower; the 22256 (22200 series) is 500 × 130 mm, 40 mm more outside diameter and sixteen millimetres narrower.
  • The 23156 has a radial section of 90 mm ((D − d) / 2) on a 146 mm width, so its cross-section is wider than it is tall.
  • Catalog reference values for the 23156: Cr 2650 kN, C0r 4250 kN, limiting speed 1,000 rpm with grease, 1,300 rpm with oil, weight 97.0 kg.
  • Catalog dynamic load rating Cr is 2650 kN for the 23156 against 2550 kN for the 23152 (slightly less, 100 kN or 4%) and 3200 kN for the 23160 (noticeably more, 550 kN or 21%).
  • ENRO lists the 23156 in two versions: 23156W33, 23156K/W33. In the same series, the 23152 is listed in the same two versions; the 23160 is listed in the same two versions.

FAQ

23156 FAQ

What are the dimensions of the 23156 spherical roller bearing?

The 23156 has a bore (d) of 280 mm, an outside diameter (D) of 460 mm and a width (B) of 146 mm. Minimum chamfer r is 5 mm.

What load rating does the 23156 have?

Catalog reference values: basic dynamic load rating Cr 2650 kN, static rating C0r 4250 kN, limiting speed 1,000 rpm with grease. Values are confirmed per batch on request.

Which versions of the 23156 can I order?

ENRO lists the 23156 as 23156W33 (Lubrication groove and holes), 23156K/W33 (Tapered bore 1:12 + Lubrication groove and holes). State the clearance group you need in your RFQ.

Is the ENRO 23156 interchangeable with other brands' 23156?

Boundary dimensions follow the ISO 15 dimension series. The ENRO 23156 is dimensionally interchangeable with other brands' 23156 of the same size. Confirm seal, clearance and cage requirements in your RFQ.

Where are ENRO bearings made?

ENRO bearings are Made in China by partner factories, under Japan-managed quality control. Every unit passes 100% outgoing inspection before shipment.

Which bearings have the same bore as the 23156?

In the ENRO range, 23956 (280 × 380 × 75 mm), 23056 (280 × 420 × 106 mm), 24056 (280 × 420 × 140 mm), 24156 (280 × 460 × 180 mm) share the 280 mm bore. Outside diameter and width differ, so check the housing before switching.

Which clearance group should I order for the 23156?

CN (normal) suits most positions. C3 is common where the inner ring runs warmer than the outer ring, as in electric motors. Groups are defined in ISO 5753-1; state the one you need in your RFQ.
