How the 1207-ETN9 model number is decoded
The 12xx series is the light/normal-section self-aligning ball bearing (ISO dimension series 02). the last two digits encode the bore: 1207 carries code 07 = 35 mm (code × 5). Envelope 35×72×17 mm (1.378×2.835×0.669 in) with a 18.5 mm radial section height, C 19 kN, C0 6 kN and Pu 0.31 kN. The open 1207 ETN9 carries no shields or seals and relies on application lubrication and external sealing. The ETN9 suffix identifies the glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 cage execution. The bore is cylindrical (straight), for a press-fit on a 35 mm shaft. Reference (thermal) speed 20000 r/min, limiting speed 13000 r/min, catalogue mass 320 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- textile machinery drives
- industrial fans and blowers
- woodworking machinery
- pump shafts with mild misalignment
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear when the open arrangement is used without adequate external sealing
- lubricant starvation where no regreasing interval is maintained
- excessive misalignment loading one ball row heavily and spalling it early
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling once the catalogue L10 life is exceeded
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- The fatigue load limit is 0.31 kN; it feeds the equivalent-mean-load check, not the basic life calculation — do not substitute one for the other.
- The spherical outer raceway lets 1207-ETN9 tolerate shaft deflection, but it does not increase thrust capacity — combined loads still need an angular-contact or deep-groove bearing.
- The ETN9 suffix on 1207-ETN9 denotes a glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 cage: quiet and light at the 13000 r/min limiting speed, but it softens above roughly 120 °C — check the oil temperature in hot drives.
- At 35 mm bore, C3 clearance is the safe choice when interference fits plus temperature rise consume the CN clearance; a hot tight bearing with no residual clearance fails fast.
- The spherical outer raceway lets 1207-ETN9 tolerate shaft deflection, but it does not increase thrust capacity — combined loads still need an angular-contact or deep-groove bearing.
- Fillet radii must clear the 1207-ETN9 chamfer so the 17 mm-wide ring seats square; an oversized shaft radius creates point contact on the ring face.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 1207-ETN9?
SKF 1207 ETN9 measures 35 mm bore × 72 mm OD × 17 mm width (1.378 × 2.835 × 0.669 in), mass about 320 g. It is open, with no shields or seals.
How does the bore code in 1207 work?
The final two digits of 1207 are bore code 07, multiplied by 5 to give 35 mm.
How heavy is 1207-ETN9?
Catalogue mass is 320 g for 1207 ETN9; seal and cage executions of the same envelope differ by a few grams.
What load can 1207-ETN9 take?
Catalogue values for 1207 ETN9: dynamic C 19 kN, static C0 6 kN, fatigue limit Pu 0.31 kN. Use C in life calculation and C0 for static checks at 35 mm bore.
