How the 4312-ATN9 model number is decoded
4312 ATN9 is a double-row deep-groove ball bearing in the 4300-series: the last two digits encode the bore: 4312 carries code 12 = 60 mm (code × 5). Two complete ball sets share the 60×130×46 mm (2.362×5.118×1.811 in) envelope, giving C 112 kN, C0 98 kN and Pu 4.15 kN, with reversing axial capacity a single-row bearing cannot match. ATN9 is the glass-fibre PA66 cage. Limiting speed 4500 r/min, mass 2650 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 112 kN in a 46 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 4312-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 60 mm position.
- Two deep-groove raceways in 4312-ATN9 share the load but need parallel seats; tilting the 46 mm-wide assembly loads one row heavily and can spall it early.

- Catalogue ratings for 4312-ATN9 (C 112 kN, C0 98 kN) are SKF figures from PUB BU/P1 17000; geometry revisions can change ratings without changing the designation, so keep the catalogue edition with the specification.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 4312-ATN9?
Double-row 4312 ATN9 measures 60×130×46 mm (2.362×5.118×1.811 in), about 2650 g.
What does ATN9 mean on 4312 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.
Why choose a double-row 42xx/43xx bearing?
Two ball rows give higher C (112 kN for 4312-ATN9), reversing axial capacity and some moment stiffness in one 46 mm-wide unit — useful on gearbox layshafts and pump shafts.
Is 4312-ATN9 interchangeable with a 62-series single-row bearing?
No: although bore matches, OD and width differ and the seat shoulders must suit the wide double-row ring; 60×130×46 mm is its own envelope.
