How the 3305-ATN9 model number is decoded
3305 ATN9 is SKF's 25 mm-bore double-row angular-contact ball bearing of the 3300 series — two ball rows back-to-back for two-direction axial location in one unit, 25×62×25.4 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 25×62×25.4 mm (0.984×2.441×1 in), 18.5 mm radial section height, C 32 kN, C0 20.4 kN, Pu 0.865 kN.reference speed 12,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 11,000 r/min (mechanical), catalogue mass 350 g. Sizing arithmetic on the 25 mm bore: 32 kN C divided by the 18.5 mm radial section height gives 1.7 kN per section millimetre; the 350 g mass and 3 % Pu/C share frame the light-load floor for the adjusted-life check. Mass and section check: 350 g inside the 25×62×25.4 mm outline leaves a 18.5 mm radial section, and the 20.4 kN static rating is 0.64× the dynamic rating — plan static safety and minimum load against those numbers rather than against sister executions. Bore-to-OD planning: OD 62 over bore 25 is a 2.48× step for this size, and the 25.4 mm width gives a bore/width ratio of 0.98; use these ratios when housing space around the 25 mm shaft is the first constraint.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- printing and converting machinery
- gearbox input and output shafts with bidirectional thrust
- two-direction thrust positions without room for a paired single-row set
Known failure patterns
- loss of controlled axial clearance (CB) after thermal growth removes residual play
- tilted mounting that loads one double row more heavily than the other
- TN9 cage embrittlement in a hot gearbox position beyond the 120 °C polymer ceiling
- fretting corrosion on a loose rotating shaft seat
- fretting corrosion on a loose rotating shaft seat
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Compared with a single-row pair of the same bore, the double-row 3305 occupies less axial space but offers less freedom to adjust preload — do not substitute without re-checking the arrangement.
- 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.
- Controlled axial clearance is the heart of the design: the A execution is produced to the standard double-row axial clearance; check residual clearance after mounting and at operating temperature.
- The double-row 3305 takes thrust in both directions by itself — that is the reason to choose it over two single-row bearings: one housing bore, one fit, built-in set geometry.
- Catalogue ratings are SKF PUB BU/P1 17000 figures for 3305 ATN9 as the double atn9 execution; the other order numbers of the 3305 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 3305-ATN9?
3305 ATN9 measures 25 mm bore × 62 mm OD × 25.4 mm width (0.984 × 2.441 × 1 in), mass about 350 g. SKF 17000 ratings: C 32 kN, C0 20.4 kN, Pu 0.865 kN, reference speed 12,000 r/min (thermal) and limiting speed 11,000 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.
Does the 3305 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.
Which fits should I use?
With a rotating inner ring use roughly k5 on the 25 mm shaft and H7 in the 62 mm housing; check the wide ring seats square because the 25.4 mm width is sensitive to tilt.
