How the 3202-ATN9 model number is decoded

3202 ATN9 is SKF's 15 mm-bore double-row angular-contact ball bearing of the 3200 series — two ball rows back-to-back for two-direction axial location in one unit, 15×35×15.9 mm. A on a double-row bearing means no filling slots, so both rows carry their full ball complement in both directions. glass-fibre reinforced PA66 cage, ball-centred (suffix TN9), with a 120 °C continuous-temperature ceiling. Envelope 15×35×15.9 mm (0.591×1.378×0.626 in), 10.0 mm radial section height, C 11.2 kN, C0 6.8 kN, Pu 0.285 kN.reference speed 22,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 18,000 r/min (mechanical), catalogue mass 66 g. Load balance: C0 6.8 kN against C 11.2 kN gives a 0.61 ratio, typical of a double-row bidirectional design; Pu 0.285 kN enters the SKF adjusted-life equation rather than the basic rating life. Sizing arithmetic on the 15 mm bore: 11.2 kN C divided by the 10.0 mm radial section height gives 1.1 kN per section millimetre; the 66 g mass and 3 % Pu/C share frame the light-load floor for the adjusted-life check. Speed-ratio note for this exact unit: the reference speed is 22,000 r/min against a 18,000 r/min limiting speed, i.e. a reference-to-limit ratio of 1.22.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Compared with a single-row pair of the same bore, the double-row 3202 occupies less axial space but offers less freedom to adjust preload — do not substitute without re-checking the arrangement.
• Interference goes on the rotating ring (about j5 at 15 mm bore); the wide 15.9 mm ring is sensitive to tilted seats, so check squareness before clamping.
• A capped 3202-2Z/-2RS1 execution of this envelope exists for sealed-for-life duty; an open double-row bearing needs application sealing and a defined lubricant supply.
• Catalogue ratings of 11.2/6.8 kN apply to the ATN9 execution; the D and DNRCBM two-piece-ring executions carry their own figures on their own pages.
• Catalogue ratings are SKF PUB BU/P1 17000 figures for 3202 ATN9 as the double atn9 execution; the other order numbers of the 3202 size are different products and may carry different ratings — always quote the full designation when purchasing.
