What is the equivalent of a 22205-E1-XL-C3 bearing?

The 22205-E1-XL-C3 is a 25×52×18mm spherical roller bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK 22205EAE4 C3, NTN 22205EMD1 C3, SKF 22205 E/C3, Timken 22205EM/C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 22205-E1-XL-C3 bearing?

The 22205-E1-XL-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 25mm, outer diameter of 52mm, and width of 18mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 49.9 kN, static load rating of 44 kN, and weighs 260g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 13,000 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG 22205-E1-XL-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 22205-E1-XL-C3 (25×52×18mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK part number as long as the seal type (open) and clearance class (C3) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.

Technical Details & Applications

Specification variations and common equipment types.

Internal Clearance

Greater Than Normal (C3)

Increased radial internal clearance. Required when bearings operate at elevated temperatures or with tight shaft fits.

Temperature70-150°C operating temperature

Seal Type

Open (No Seal)

No seals or shields. Allows external lubrication and cooling. Lowest friction, highest speed capability.

Avoid forDirty, dusty, or wet environments. Applications without planned lubrication maintenance.
