How the 307 model number is decoded
307 is a filling-slot (notched-ring) deep-groove bearing in the legacy 300-series: the last two digits encode the bore: 307 carries code 07 = 35 mm (code × 5). The rings carry loading slots that allow extra balls during assembly, which is what gives the 35×80×21 mm envelope its C 34.7 kN and C0 26.5 kN ratings (Pu 1.12 kN). The open 307 carries no shields or seals and relies on application lubrication and external sealing. Limiting speed 9500 r/min, mass 480 g. These bearings are built for high purely-radial loads at moderate speeds.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- slew drives
- material-handling winches
- slow heavy gearboxes
- farm machinery and harvesters
Known failure patterns
- spalling of the filling-slot edge when balls are hammered through the slot under heavy thrust loading
- dirt entering through the open slot area when external sealing is neglected
- brinelling from static overload or hammer blows during mounting
- false brinelling from vibration while the shaft stands idle
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- The slots sit at one angular position: on 307, never pass the full radial load across the slot zone during mounting or the ring lip can crack.
- 307 uses the legacy SKF 200/300 numbering (light/heavy filling-slot series), not the modern 6200/6300 spelling; quote 307 exactly when ordering replacements.
- Filling-slot bearings take heavy purely-radial load at moderate speed but little thrust; the 34.7/26.5 kN ratings assume radial loading — use deep-groove 6xxx where axial load matters.
- Shields on 307 retain grease but do not seal against water; for wet farm duty add external lip seals rather than trusting the shield.
- Limiting speed is just 9500 r/min: filling-slot cages and the slot geometry run cooler below that — overspeed drives cage wear and smearing.
- Assign interference to the rotating ring: on a conventional shaft-mounted 35 mm position the inner ring rotates, so use a k5/m6 shaft seat with an H7 housing — reverse the logic if the outer ring rotates.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 307?
Filling-slot bearing 307 measures 35×80×21 mm (1.378×3.15×0.827 in), about 480 g.
What does the designation 307 mean?
It is the legacy 200/300 filling-slot numbering: series 300 and bore code 07 = 35 mm. Filling-slot bearings predate the 6xxx deep-groove spelling.
What fails on 307?
Slot-edge chipping under thrust or shock, dirt ingress in the open design and cage wear past the 9500 r/min limiting speed are the typical failure modes.
Is 307 available sealed?
Shielded executions (-2Z, listed here as 307-ZZ) exist; contact-sealed versions are generally not produced for the filling-slot family.
