What is the equivalent of a 30308-XL-C3 bearing?

The 30308-XL-C3 is a 40×90×25.25mm tapered roller bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK HR30308J C3, NTN 4T-30308 C3, SKF 30308 J2/Q C3, Timken 30308 C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 30308-XL-C3 bearing?

The 30308-XL-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 40mm, outer diameter of 90mm, and width of 25.25mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 49.2 kN, static load rating of 29.1 kN, and weighs 484g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 4,800 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG 30308-XL-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 30308-XL-C3 (40×90×25.25mm) 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.
