How the 1302-ETN9 model number is decoded
The 13xx series is the medium/normal-section self-aligning ball bearing (ISO dimension series 03). bore code 02 follows the 10/12/15/17 mm exception table, so 1302 fits a 15 mm shaft. Envelope 15×42×13 mm (0.591×1.654×0.512 in) with a 13.5 mm radial section height, C 10.8 kN, C0 2.6 kN and Pu 0.14 kN. The open 1302 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 15 mm shaft. Reference (thermal) speed 34000 r/min, limiting speed 24000 r/min, catalogue mass 94 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- food-processing conveyors
- small electric motors
- conveyor idler rollers
- agricultural machinery shafts
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear when the open arrangement is used without adequate external sealing
- lubricant starvation where no regreasing interval is maintained
- fretting corrosion on a creeping shaft or housing seat
- cage damage from running beyond the limiting speed
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Self-aligning ball bearings tolerate up to roughly 2–3° of static misalignment, but the sealed 1302-ETN9 (2RS1) allows less — the lip seal binds before the spherical raceway does.
- Catalogue ratings for 1302-ETN9 (C 10.8 kN, C0 2.6 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.
- The ETN9 suffix on 1302-ETN9 denotes a glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 cage: quiet and light at the 24000 r/min limiting speed, but it softens above roughly 120 °C — check the oil temperature in hot drives.
- Assign interference to the rotating ring: on a 15 mm rotating shaft use a j5/k5 seat with an H7 housing; reverse the logic if the outer ring rotates.
- Catalogue ratings for 1302-ETN9 (C 10.8 kN, C0 2.6 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.
- Mount 1302-ETN9 by heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) on a cylindrical bore — driving it home through the outer ring or balls brinells the raceways.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 1302-ETN9?
SKF 1302 ETN9 measures 15 mm bore × 42 mm OD × 13 mm width (0.591 × 1.654 × 0.512 in), mass about 94 g. It is open, with no shields or seals.
How does the bore code in 1302 work?
Codes 00–03 follow the exception table (10, 12, 15, 17 mm): 1302 fits a 15 mm shaft. Code × 5 starts at code 04.
What is the speed rating of 1302-ETN9?
SKF lists a 34000 r/min thermal reference speed and a 24000 r/min mechanical limiting speed for 1302 ETN9; real limits also depend on lubrication and fits.
How much misalignment can 1302-ETN9 tolerate?
Self-aligning ball bearings tolerate roughly 2–3° of static misalignment for open executions; sealed 2RS1 variants like 1302-ETN9 allow less (about 1°) because the seal lip binds first.
