SKF 1309 ETN9 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing

The SKF 1309 ETN9 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing is a precision self-aligning ball bearing manufactured by SKF, the world's leading rolling bearing producer founded in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1907. Designated 1309 ETN9, this bearing features 45 mm bore (d), 100 mm outer diameter (D), and 25 mm width (B), giving it a compact yet robust geometry suited to heavy-duty industrial rotating equipment. Its double row of balls runs on a common spherical raceway in the outer ring (glass-fibre reinforced polyamide cage, ETN9), giving exceptional tolerance to shaft misalignment and deflection. It carries a basic dynamic load rating (C) of approximately 48.8 kN and a basic static load rating (C0) of approximately 20.4 kN, with a reference rotational speed of around 8500 r/min depending on lubrication and mounting conditions.

The 1309 ETN9 is engineered with SKF's high-grade chrome steel raceways, precision-ground rolling elements and optimised internal geometry to reduce friction, running temperature and noise. This makes it particularly well suited to the demanding thermal conditions of the Saudi Arabian climate, where ambient temperatures regularly exceed 50 degrees Celsius and airborne dust and sand place severe demands on sealing and lubrication. SKF's seal and clearance options help maintain a clean lubricant film, extending grease life and reducing unplanned downtime in desert and coastal Eastern Province environments where humidity and salt-laden air accelerate corrosion.

In Saudi industry the 1309 ETN9 is widely specified for rotating equipment at facilities such as Saudi Aramco (Ras Tanura refinery rotating equipment) and SADAF (styrene monomer unit pumps). Typical duties include electric motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes, compressors and conveyor systems across the oil and gas, petrochemical, desalination, power generation and mining sectors. SKF bearings are accepted on major Saudi approved vendor lists including the Saudi Aramco AVL, and are SASO compliant for use throughout the Kingdom.
