How the 1315 model number is decoded
In the 1300-series (ISO 15 dimension series) the leading digits 13 mark a double-row self-aligning ball bearing and the last two digits encode the bore: 1315 carries bore code 15 = 75 mm. Outside diameter 160 mm and width 37 mm follow the ISO 15 general plan. The cylindrical bore fits directly on a machined shaft seat; a tapered-bore K variant is available for adapter-sleeve mounting. Two rows of balls run on a common sphered outer raceway, allowing the inner ring to pivot and compensate for shaft deflection or housing misalignment.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- paper mill and processing equipment shafts
- industrial electric motor shafts
- pump and compressor drive shafts
- gearbox and speed reducer shafts
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear from dust and dirt ingress through the open arrangement
- lubricant starvation when no regreasing interval is maintained
- raceway smearing under marginal lubrication at start-up
- fretting corrosion on a loose shaft seat
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Temperature rise and interference fits consume internal clearance on this 75 mm bore: a CN bearing on a tight, hot shaft can lose all residual clearance — size 1315 with C3 for those conditions.
- The 13xx medium section at 75 mm bore gains rating through a larger 160 mm OD and 37 mm width; verify the housing accepts the larger envelope before substituting for a 1215.
- The open 1315 has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 75×160×37 mm raceway, so specify a sealed arrangement for dusty or washdown duty.
- Open bearings tolerate the highest speeds in the 1300-series but need a defined regreasing interval; run-to-failure lubrication is the dominant cause of early failure in open 1315 units.
- Suffixes stack in a defined order — clearance follows the bore code, e.g. 1315-C3. No clearance suffix means normal CN clearance.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 1315 self-aligning ball bearing?
A 1315 self-aligning ball bearing has a 75 mm bore, 160 mm outer diameter and 37 mm width, per ISO 15 boundary dimensions. This is the cylindrical-bore version; a tapered-bore K variant is available for adapter-sleeve mounting.
How does the 1315 bore code work?
The last two digits of 1315 are bore code 15, giving 15 × 5 = 75 mm bore. The 160 mm outside diameter and 37 mm width follow the ISO 15 diameter series, not the bore code alone.
What does the open suffix mean on 1315?
A bare 1315 designation means open: no shields or seals, normal CN radial clearance and P0 normal tolerance unless further suffixes are ordered. The application must supply and retain the lubrication.
How does the 1300 compare with other self-aligning series at the same 75 mm bore?
The 13xx is the medium section: 160×37 mm, 42.5 mm radial section at 75 mm bore, carrying more load than a 1215 but needing a larger housing bore.
