The SKF double row angular contact bearing is a component designed to support combined radial and axial loads in both directions. Its construction with two rows of balls and inclined raceways gives it great rigidity and load capacity, ideal for applications requiring precision and stability, such as machine tool spindles, pumps and gearboxes. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry it as part of our SKF bearing line.
The designation of these bearings follows a scheme that combines numbers and suffixes. For example, in 3206 ATN9/VQ537, the first digits indicate the type and dimension series; series 32 corresponds to double row bearings with a specific design. The suffixes provide key information: ATN indicates a polyamide cage reinforced with fiberglass and an optimized internal design; /VQ537 identifies a particular clearance or preload specification, defined by the manufacturer for applications requiring a specific fit. Knowing these codes allows you to select the right bearing for each requirement.
These bearings are used in industries where precision and load capacity are critical. In Argentina, we find them in machine tool spindles, milling machine heads, gear pumps, compressors and speed reducers. They are also present in power transmission equipment and in automotive applications that demand high rigidity. Their ability to support axial loads in both directions makes them versatile for assemblies requiring exact shaft positioning.
To correctly select a double row angular contact bearing, take into account the load it must support, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. It is essential to verify the internal clearance or preload, as they influence rigidity and service life. Mounting must be done with precise alignment and, in many cases, with a press fit on the shaft or in the housing. Proper lubrication, whether grease or oil, and effective sealing against contaminants are key to long-lasting performance.
Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, SKF bearings of this type can be replaced by products from other brands that follow the same dimensional and suffix designation. However, it is important to verify tolerances and internal clearance, as they can vary between manufacturers. Always consult a specialist before replacing a bearing, to ensure compatibility and the expected performance in your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the ATN suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
- The ATN suffix indicates a polyamide cage reinforced with fiberglass and an optimized internal design. This cage reduces weight and improves behavior at high speeds, as well as resisting temperature and common lubricants.
- Does this bearing accept axial loads in both directions?
- Yes, the double row angular contact design allows it to support axial loads in both directions, in addition to radial loads. This makes it suitable for applications requiring high rigidity and precise shaft control.
- How do I choose the right internal clearance for my application?
- The internal clearance or preload depends on the working conditions: speed, temperature and type of load. For precision applications a light preload is usually required, while at high speeds a larger clearance may be needed. Consult our technical team for a specific recommendation.
