How the 1320 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: 1320 carries bore code 20 = 100 mm. Outside diameter 215 mm and width 47 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
- heavy conveyor drive shafts
- pulp, paper and steel mill machinery
- heavy industrial drive shafts
- large gearbox and reducer shafts
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear from dust and dirt ingress through the open arrangement
- lubricant starvation when no regreasing interval is maintained
- edge loading and stress concentration from excessive misalignment beyond the allowable angle
- raceway smearing under marginal lubrication at start-up
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount this 100 mm bore bearing by heating the inner ring (induction heater, max 120 °C) — never drive it home through the outer ring or balls, that brinells the raceways.
- The 13xx medium section at 100 mm bore gains rating through a larger 215 mm OD and 47 mm width; verify the housing accepts the larger envelope before substituting for a 1220.
- The open 1320 has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 100×215×47 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 1320 units.
- Do not use a self-aligning ball bearing where high radial rigidity is required — the sphered outer raceway allows more radial movement than a deep-groove or cylindrical roller bearing.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 1320 self-aligning ball bearing?
A 1320 self-aligning ball bearing has a 100 mm bore, 215 mm outer diameter and 47 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 1320 bore code work?
The last two digits of 1320 are bore code 20, giving 20 × 5 = 100 mm bore. The 215 mm outside diameter and 47 mm width follow the ISO 15 diameter series, not the bore code alone.
What does the open suffix mean on 1320?
A bare 1320 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 100 mm bore?
The 13xx is the medium section: 215×47 mm, 57.5 mm radial section at 100 mm bore, carrying more load than a 1220 but needing a larger housing bore.
