How the 2307-ETN9 model number is decoded

The 23xx series is the wide medium-section self-aligning ball bearing (ISO dimension series 23). the last two digits encode the bore: 2307 carries code 07 = 35 mm (code × 5). Envelope 35×80×31 mm (1.378×3.15×1.22 in) with a 22.5 mm radial section height, C 39.7 kN, C0 11.2 kN and Pu 0.59 kN. The open 2307 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 16000 r/min, limiting speed 12000 r/min, catalogue mass 680 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
  • 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 2307-ETN9 (2RS1) allows less — the lip seal binds before the spherical raceway does.
  • The spherical outer raceway lets 2307-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 2307-ETN9 denotes a glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 66 cage: quiet and light at the 12000 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 35 mm rotating shaft use a k5 seat with an H7 housing; reverse the logic if the outer ring rotates.
  • Catalogue ratings for 2307-ETN9 (C 39.7 kN, C0 11.2 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 2307-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 2307-ETN9?

SKF 2307 ETN9 measures 35 mm bore × 80 mm OD × 31 mm width (1.378 × 3.15 × 1.22 in), mass about 680 g. It is open, with no shields or seals.

How does the bore code in 2307 work?

The final two digits of 2307 are bore code 07, multiplied by 5 to give 35 mm.

What is the speed rating of 2307-ETN9?

SKF lists a 16000 r/min thermal reference speed and a 12000 r/min mechanical limiting speed for 2307 ETN9; real limits also depend on lubrication and fits.

How much misalignment can 2307-ETN9 tolerate?

Self-aligning ball bearings tolerate roughly 2–3° of static misalignment for open executions; sealed 2RS1 variants like 2307-ETN9 allow less (about 1°) because the seal lip binds first.
