DIN 720 31300 Series Steep Angle Tapered Roller Bearings Specification

What DIN 720 fixes, what it deliberately leaves to another document, its equivalents, and the dimensional table.

DIN 720 is the German standard for metric tapered roller bearings, covering the same 30000-series envelope as ISO 355: bore d, outside diameter D, the assembled width T and the individual cone and cup widths B and C.

Covers
Tapered roller bearings
Does not fix
It does not decide the mounted setting. A tapered roller bearing is adjusted against its opposing bearing to an endplay or a preload on assembly, and that figure comes from the application, not from a dimensional standard.
Equivalents
ISO 355 and its identical adoption DIN ISO 355 are the current international references; GB/T 297 is the Chinese equivalent.

Equivalence between the ISO, DIN and GB/T documents is dimensional: a bearing made to either mounts in the same seat. It is not an equivalence of load rating, tolerance class or internal clearance, each of which is fixed by a separate standard and declared separately.

Wheel hub bearing — 31300 Series Steep Angle Tapered Roller Bearings in service

DIN 720 covers tapered roller bearings. This page sets out what the standard fixes for 31300 series steep angle tapered roller bearings, what it deliberately leaves to other documents, its national equivalents, and the dimensional table supplied against it.

DIN 720 — Scope

DIN 720 is the German standard for metric tapered roller bearings, covering the same 30000-series envelope as ISO 355: bore d, outside diameter D, the assembled width T and the individual cone and cup widths B and C.

What DIN 720 Does Not Fix

It does not decide the mounted setting. A tapered roller bearing is adjusted against its opposing bearing to an endplay or a preload on assembly, and that figure comes from the application, not from a dimensional standard.

This division of labour is the thing to carry away from any bearing standard. A boundary dimension standard makes bearings interchangeable; it does not make them equivalent. Two bearings of the same designation from different makers mount in the same seat and are not required to have the same load rating, the same internal design, the same cage or the same speed limit.

National Equivalents

ISO 355 and its identical adoption DIN ISO 355 are the current international references; GB/T 297 is the Chinese equivalent.

This product is supplied against ISO 355 / DIN ISO 355 / GB/T 297, which names the documents it is made to.

When to Cite DIN 720

DIN 720 remains in daily use in European mechanical engineering and on legacy drawings, and it is what many German-language datasheets cite. For a new design the ISO document is the better contractual reference, with the DIN number carried alongside it so that the drawing reads the same to everyone.

Technical Drawing

Customize the parameters below — every spec field is editable, and the drawing redraws to match the values you choose. Changing the designation snaps the other fields to that size's standard values; you can then override any individual value.

Held in production, not just on paper

The tolerances above are decided on the grinding and superfinishing lines in our own plant, and gauged on every ring rather than on a sample. A dimension is only worth quoting if it survives the process that produces it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DIN 720 mean two bearings are interchangeable?

Dimensionally, yes — that is what a boundary dimension standard is for, and a bearing of the same designation from any maker mounts in the same shaft and housing seat. Functionally, not necessarily: the load rating, the internal design, the cage, the clearance group and the speed limit are decided by the manufacturer and by other standards, and two bearings with the same number are not required to match on any of them.

Does DIN 720 fix the load rating?

No. DIN 720 does not set load ratings. Basic dynamic load ratings are calculated to the method of ISO 281 and are declared by the manufacturer; the static rating follows ISO 76.

Which edition of DIN 720 does this table follow?

The table reproduces the dimensions we supply 31300 series steep angle tapered roller bearings to. We do not publish an edition year against it, so where the edition is contractually significant, cite the edition you require on the enquiry and we will confirm it against the table before quoting.

Can I cite the GB/T number instead of the ISO one?

For the boundary dimensions, yes — the GB/T standards restate the ISO dimension plan and a part made to either mounts in the same seat. The safest drawing note gives both, because it stays legible if the supply moves between a Chinese, a European and an international manufacturer.
