How the 4217-ATN9 model number is decoded

4217 ATN9 is a double-row deep-groove ball bearing in the 4200-series: the last two digits encode the bore: 4217 carries code 17 = 85 mm (code × 5). Two complete ball sets share the 85×150×36 mm (3.346×5.906×1.417 in) envelope, giving C 93.6 kN, C0 102 kN and Pu 4 kN, with reversing axial capacity a single-row bearing cannot match. ATN9 is the glass-fibre PA66 cage. Limiting speed 3600 r/min, mass 2550 g. The arrangement is open and requires external sealing.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • industrial wheel arrangements
  • double-supported pump impeller shafts
  • gearbox layshafts with reversing axial load
  • agricultural gearboxes

Known failure patterns

  • uneven load sharing between the two raceways when one ring is tilted
  • polyamide cage embrittlement after sustained high-temperature service
  • rolling-contact fatigue spalling once the catalogue L10 life is exceeded
  • brinelling from static overload or hammer blows during mounting

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • C 93.6 kN in a 36 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 4217-ATN9 is sensitive to cocking during pressing.
  • The ATN9 cage is glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66: it is light and quiet but caps continuous service around 100–120 °C in oil/grease — above that use the pressed-steel or machined-cage version of the 85 mm position.
  • Two deep-groove raceways in 4217-ATN9 share the load but need parallel seats; tilting the 36 mm-wide assembly loads one row heavily and can spall it early.
  • Two deep-groove raceways in 4217-ATN9 share the load but need parallel seats; tilting the 36 mm-wide assembly loads one row heavily and can spall it early.
  • Deep-groove geometry tolerates only minutes of misalignment; if the 150 mm housing bore cannot be aligned, move to a self-aligning bearing rather than shimming 4217-ATN9.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of 4217-ATN9?

Double-row 4217 ATN9 measures 85×150×36 mm (3.346×5.906×1.417 in), about 2550 g.

What does ATN9 mean on 4217 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.

How is 4217-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.

What load does 4217-ATN9 carry?

C 93.6 kN, C0 102 kN and Pu 4 kN per catalogue 17000; both rows share the load when the rings sit parallel.
