How the 4211-ATN9 model number is decoded
4211 ATN9 is a double-row deep-groove ball bearing in the 4200-series: the last two digits encode the bore: 4211 carries code 11 = 55 mm (code × 5). Two complete ball sets share the 55×100×25 mm (2.165×3.937×0.984 in) envelope, giving C 44.9 kN, C0 44 kN and Pu 1.9 kN, with reversing axial capacity a single-row bearing cannot match. ATN9 is the glass-fibre PA66 cage. Limiting speed 5600 r/min, mass 800 g. The arrangement is open and requires external sealing.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- gearbox layshafts with reversing axial load
- agricultural gearboxes
- belt take-up and tensioner units
- machine tool feed drives
Known failure patterns
- uneven load sharing between the two raceways when one ring is tilted
- polyamide cage embrittlement after sustained high-temperature service
- electrical pitting in VFD-driven motors without shaft grounding
- edge loading from shaft deflection or housing misalignment
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- The wide 55×100×25 mm envelope is not interchangeable with a single-row 6211 — the housing and shaft shoulders differ, so design the seat for the double-row width from the start.
- Double-row 4211 is open and needs application sealing and lubrication; in dusty drives add external seals rather than expecting the bearing itself to stay clean.
- C 44.9 kN in a 25 mm width is the strength of the double-row design; use it for combined or reversing axial loads rather than pure radial duty where a slimmer single-row bearing would run cooler.
- Fit both rings square on the shoulders: the narrow internal land between the two raceways of 4211-ATN9 is sensitive to cocking during pressing.
- Double-row 4211 is open and needs application sealing and lubrication; in dusty drives add external seals rather than expecting the bearing itself to stay clean.
- Fillet radii must clear the 4211-ATN9 chamfer so the 25 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 4211-ATN9?
Double-row 4211 ATN9 measures 55×100×25 mm (2.165×3.937×0.984 in), about 800 g.
What does ATN9 mean on 4211 ATN9?
A = double-row deep-groove arrangement, TN9 is a glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 cage; it limits continuous temperature to roughly 100–120 °C.
Does 4211-ATN9 run as fast as a single-row bearing?
Somewhat slower: SKF rates it to 5600 r/min; the two cages and wider grease volume generate more drag than a single-row 6211.
How is 4211-ATN9 lubricated and sealed?
The ATN9 execution is open and greased/oiled by the application; provide external lip seals and a regreasing path for dirty duty.
