33118
Holding a bearing marked SKF 331118 or NSK 33118 or TIMKEN 33118? Ours is 33118 — the same seat size, the same type and the same sealing and clearance design.
What this bearing is
33118 is a tapered roller bearing, execution: open. The manufacturer's cross-reference catalogue confirms full interchangeability for 8 designations, including SKF 331118, SKF 33118/Q, NSK 33118.
Designation equivalents
Before you replace it
This is a dimensional and design equivalent: the same seat size, the same bearing type and the same sealing and clearance design. It is not the same product — load ratings, tolerance class and grease may differ between manufacturers. For duty close to the limits or a critical application, check the datasheet of the specific design.
Where these equivalents come from
The base number of a standard bearing is an ISO standard — 6205 is 6205 at every manufacturer. Only the suffixes describing the design differ, and those are what we translate: shields, contact seals, cage and radial clearance. Designations that mean different things at different makers are deliberately omitted.
