How the 3207-ATN9 model number is decoded

3207 ATN9 is SKF's 35 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, 35×72×27 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 35×72×27 mm (1.378×2.835×1.063 in), 18.5 mm radial section height, C 40 kN, C0 28 kN, Pu 1.18 kN.reference speed 10,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 9,000 r/min (mechanical), catalogue mass 440 g. At the printed limiting speed of 9,000 r/min the mean pitch diameter dm ≈ 53.5 mm implies a dn value around 482k mm·r/min; the 10,000 r/min reference speed is the thermal-planning figure under catalogue load. Envelope economics: the 27 mm width over a 18.5 mm section yields 1.46 mm of ring width per section millimetre, and the bearing weighs 440 g for 40 kN of dynamic capacity — about 11 g per rated kN. Speed-ratio note for this exact unit: the reference speed is 10,000 r/min against a 9,000 r/min limiting speed, i.e. a reference-to-limit ratio of 1.11.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • gearbox input and output shafts with bidirectional thrust
  • two-direction thrust positions without room for a paired single-row set
  • centrifugal pump shafts

Known failure patterns

  • two-direction thrust overload concentrating load on one row and spalling its raceway
  • loss of controlled axial clearance (CB) after thermal growth removes residual play
  • TN9 cage embrittlement in a hot gearbox position beyond the 120 °C polymer ceiling
  • edge loading from shaft deflection or housing misalignment
  • hard-particle indentation of the asymmetric raceway in unfiltered oil

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • A capped 3207-2Z/-2RS1 execution of this envelope exists for sealed-for-life duty; an open double-row bearing needs application sealing and a defined lubricant supply.
  • The D executions have a two-piece inner ring: mount both halves square to each other, never press on the outer ring, and keep the split faces clean during fitting.
  • Catalogue ratings of 40/28 kN apply to the ATN9 execution; the D and DNRCBM two-piece-ring executions carry their own figures on their own pages.
  • Catalogue ratings of 40/28 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 3207 ATN9 as the double atn9 execution; the other order numbers of the 3207 size are different products and may carry different ratings — always quote the full designation when purchasing.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions and catalogue data of 3207-ATN9?

3207 ATN9 measures 35 mm bore × 72 mm OD × 27 mm width (1.378 × 2.835 × 1.063 in), mass about 440 g. SKF 17000 ratings: C 40 kN, C0 28 kN, Pu 1.18 kN, reference speed 10,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 9,000 r/min (mechanical).

What does the ATN9 suffix mean?

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.

What does the D mean in ATN9?

D marks a two-piece inner ring, used on the heavy 33-series executions to simplify mounting; the rest of the suffix identifies the cage (MA brass outer-ring-centred, M brass ball-centred, J1 stamped steel, TN9 PA66) and snap-ring/clearance options (NR, CB).

Does the 3207 double-row bearing need pairing?

No — both ball rows are built into one bearing, so bidirectional location does not require a second unit. Controlled axial clearance is part of the design rather than a field adjustment.
