How the QJ-312-PHAS model number is decoded

QJ 312 PHAS is SKF's 60 mm-bore QJ four-point contact ball bearing of the QJ300 series, 60×130×31 mm, with a two-piece inner ring for bidirectional axial location beside a radial bearing. QJ identifies a four-point contact ball bearing with a two-piece inner ring: the gothic-arch raceways seat each ball at four points, giving axial location in both directions while a paired radial bearing carries the radial load. glass-fibre reinforced PEEK cage, outer-ring-centred with lubrication grooves in the guiding surfaces (suffix PHAS), for very high-speed oil-air or grease lubrication. Envelope 60×130×31 mm (2.362×5.118×1.22 in), 35.0 mm radial section height, C 156 kN, C0 137 kN, Pu 5.85 kN.SKF publishes only the 9,000 r/min limiting speed for this execution, catalogue mass 2150 g. Envelope economics: the 31 mm width over a 35.0 mm section yields 0.89 mm of ring width per section millimetre, and the bearing weighs 2150 g for 156 kN of dynamic capacity — about 14 g per rated kN. Selection figures for QJ 312 PHAS: the static-to-dynamic ratio C0/C is 0.88, Pu 5.85 kN is about 4 % of C, and catalogue mass works out to roughly 36 g per millimetre of bore. Speed-ratio note for this exact unit: no thermal reference speed is listed (seal/grease life governs), so the 9,000 r/min limiting value is the single published ceiling. Plain outer-ring execution: this order number is delivered without N2 locating slots, so anti-rotation is solved in the housing instead — a shoulder dog, a spring-loaded key, a cover feature or an interference-free circlip arrangement. Because the outer ring deliberately runs with radial clearance and a small axial float gap, omitting positive anti-rotation invites seat fretting; the slotted N2 order number is the alternative when the housing can provide engagement pins.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Provide a minimum axial load (spring preload is common) so the balls stay correctly seated at speed and light-load conditions; otherwise they skid.
• Without N2 slots, provide another positive anti-rotation feature for the radially loose outer ring
• Keep a small axial gap between the outer ring and the cover flange so it can accommodate thermal movement; never clamp the outer ring solid.
• Anti-rotation is NOT built into QJ-312-PHAS: without N2 slots the housing must provide a dog, keyed cover or other positive stop, since the outer ring runs radially loose by design.
• The PHAS PEEK cage of QJ-312-PHAS is outer-ring-centred with lubrication grooves: feed clean oil-air or appropriate grease to the guide land and inspect groove filling at overhaul.
• Catalogue ratings are SKF PUB BU/P1 17000 figures for QJ 312 PHAS as the qj plain execution; the other order numbers of the QJ 312 size are different products and may carry different ratings — always quote the full designation when purchasing.
