How the 4302-ATN9 model number is decoded

4302 ATN9 is a double-row deep-groove ball bearing in the 4300-series: bore code 02 follows the 10/12/15/17 mm exception table, so 4302 fits a 15 mm shaft. Two complete ball sets share the 15×42×17 mm (0.591×1.654×0.669 in) envelope, giving C 14.8 kN, C0 9.5 kN and Pu 0.405 kN, with reversing axial capacity a single-row bearing cannot match. ATN9 is the glass-fibre PA66 cage. Limiting speed 15000 r/min, mass 120 g. The arrangement is open and requires external sealing.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • double-supported pump impeller shafts
  • gearbox layshafts with reversing axial load
  • agricultural gearboxes
  • belt take-up and tensioner units

Known failure patterns

  • uneven load sharing between the two raceways when one ring is tilted
  • polyamide cage embrittlement after sustained high-temperature service
  • edge loading from shaft deflection or housing misalignment
  • rolling-contact fatigue spalling once the catalogue L10 life is exceeded

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • Two deep-groove raceways in 4302-ATN9 share the load but need parallel seats; tilting the 17 mm-wide assembly loads one row heavily and can spall it early.
  • The wide 15×42×17 mm envelope is not interchangeable with a single-row 6202 — the housing and shaft shoulders differ, so design the seat for the double-row width from the start.
  • Double-row 4302 is open and needs application sealing and lubrication; in dusty drives add external seals rather than expecting the bearing itself to stay clean.
  • C 14.8 kN in a 17 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.
  • The wide 15×42×17 mm envelope is not interchangeable with a single-row 6202 — the housing and shaft shoulders differ, so design the seat for the double-row width from the start.
  • Clearance suffixes follow the seal code in the designation stack (e.g. 4302-2Z/C3 in SKF spelling); no suffix means normal CN internal clearance.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of 4302-ATN9?

Double-row 4302 ATN9 measures 15×42×17 mm (0.591×1.654×0.669 in), about 120 g.

What does ATN9 mean on 4302 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 4302-ATN9 run as fast as a single-row bearing?

Somewhat slower: SKF rates it to 15000 r/min; the two cages and wider grease volume generate more drag than a single-row 6202.

How is 4302-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.
