How to read the 30303 designation
| Segment | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 3 | Single row tapered roller bearing (metric, ISO 355) |
| 03 | Dimension series 03 |
| 03 | Bore code 03 → 17 mm bore. ISO bore code (00–03 = 10/12/15/17 mm; 04 and above = code × 5 mm). |
30303 interchange
30303 is an ISO designation: bore d, outside diameter D and total width T are the same at each maker. The letters each maker adds are series, design or cage codes, not seal codes, so the full number is different at every brand. Send us the full number on your old bearing and we confirm the match.
Brand names are trademarks of their respective owners. FULI is not affiliated with, authorized by or endorsed by these companies. Part numbers are shown for interchange reference only. FULI dimensions, load ratings and speeds come from the FULI catalog.
Tolerances and fits for 30303
FULI makes 30303 to P0 as standard, with P6 on request. P0 is the Normal tolerance class of ISO 492; P6 limits are tighter. These are the P0 limits for the 17 × 47 × 15.25 mm size.
| Dimension | Nominal, mm | Deviation, µm | Limits, mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bore d (Δdmp) | 17 | 0 / −12 | 17.000 / 16.988 |
| Outside diameter D (ΔDmp) | 47 | 0 / −14 | 47.000 / 46.986 |
| Total width T (ΔTs) | 15.25 | +200 / 0 | 15.450 / 15.250 |
Δdmp and ΔDmp: deviation of the mean bore and mean outside diameter in one radial plane. ΔTs: assembled width of cone and cup, from the ISO 492 table for metric tapered roller bearings. Cone width B and cup width C: 0 / −120 µm each.
Shaft and housing fits (general guidance)
For an inner ring that turns with a solid steel shaft under normal load, bearing makers’ fit tables give 17 k5 for the shaft of 30303. The cup usually sits in an H7 or J7 housing bore so that it can be moved when the pair is adjusted.
| Seat | Deviation, µm | Limits, mm | Fit with 30303 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shaft 17 k5 | +9 / +1 | 17.009 / 17.001 | 1 to 21 µm interference |
| Housing 47 H7 | +25 / 0 | 47.025 / 47.000 | 0 to 39 µm clearance |
| Housing 47 J7 | +14 / −11 | 47.014 / 46.989 | 11 µm interference to 28 µm clearance |
Taking the loosest and the tightest combination of limits, a P0 30303 on a 17 mm k5 shaft has 1 to 21 µm interference. Its cup has 0 to 39 µm clearance in an H7 bore and 11 µm interference to 28 µm clearance in a J7 bore.
This is general guidance, not a FULI specification. Heavy or shock loads, a hollow shaft, a thin-walled, split or light-alloy housing, or a large temperature difference between shaft and housing call for other classes, and the drawing of your machine takes priority.
If the outer ring turns and the shaft stands still, as in an idler pulley or a wheel hub, the fits are reversed: the housing gets the interference fit (for example N7 or P7) and the shaft a sliding one (g6 or h6).

30303 compared with nearby sizes
30303 measures 17 × 47 × 15.25 mm: bore d, outside diameter D and total width T. Other tapered roller bearings on this site for the same 17 mm shaft are 30203 (17 × 40 × 13.25 mm).
30203 is the lighter option on the same shaft, with an outside diameter 7 mm smaller (40 mm) and 2 mm less width (13.25 mm), for housings with less room. In FULI's catalog 30203 has a dynamic load rating of 20.70 kN against 28.30 kN and a weight of about 0.079 kg against 0.129 kg for 30303.
30204 has the same 47 mm outside diameter with a 20 mm bore, so it fits the same housing bore on a larger shaft.
32204 has the same 47 mm outside diameter with a 20 mm bore, so it fits the same housing bore on a larger shaft.
In the 303 series the sizes either side of 30303 are 30302 for a 15 mm shaft and 30304 for a 20 mm shaft.

30303 weight, load ratings and speed
FULI's catalog gives the weight of 30303 as about 0.129 kg, so 100 bearings weigh about 12.9 kg and 1,000 about 129 kg before packing. The weight is for the cone and cup together.
30303 has a dynamic load rating Cr of 28.30 kN and a static load rating C0r of 27.30 kN. Cr is the load used to work out rating life; C0r is the reference for loads carried while the bearing is stationary or turning slowly.

30303 cone and cup
30303 is supplied as a complete bearing: the cone (inner ring with rollers and cage) and the cup (outer ring). The total width T of 15.25 mm applies when the two are assembled; the cone and the cup on their own are each narrower. Tell us if you need only the cone or only the cup.
Tapered roller bearings carry radial load and axial load in one direction, so 30303 is normally mounted as one of a pair facing each other, and the end play or preload is set when the pair is adjusted on the shaft. That is why FULI lists the clearance as set during mounting, not as a C-class value.
30303 dimensions in inches
The nearest common inch shaft size to the 17 mm bore of 30303 is 11/16 in (17.46 mm), 0.46 mm larger than the bore, so 30303 will not go on it. Inch shafts need an inch bearing, not a metric one with a sleeve or shim.
| Dimension | Millimetres | Inches |
|---|---|---|
| Bore d | 17 mm | 0.6693 in |
| Outside diameter D | 47 mm | 1.8504 in |
| Total width T | 15.25 mm | 0.6004 in |
Converted at 1 in = 25.4 mm and rounded to four decimals. The bearing itself is made to the millimetre sizes.
Grease for 30303
FULI supplies tapered roller bearings rust-protected and normally without grease; grease is added when 30303 is mounted. Relubricating 30303 from the side takes about 3.58 g each time by the formula in our grease calculator: 0.005 × D × T = 0.005 × 47 × 15.25.
How FULI supplies 30303
The standard 30303 from FULI has GCr15 chrome steel rings and rollers and P0 precision, with P6 on request. Where an order states a requirement for the total width T (15.25 mm for 30303) or the cone height, each set is checked on a height gauge.
Rings are marked with a brand you are authorised to use, with the FULI brand, or left neutral, as your order states. The box is printed with the model, precision class and brand.
Inquiries that leave out the prefix or suffix letters are the usual cause of a wrong quote, so write the full designation, for example 30303.

FAQ
What is the difference between 30303 and 30203?
Both fit a 17 mm shaft. 30303 is 17 × 47 × 15.25 mm and 30203 is 17 × 40 × 13.25 mm, so 30203 has an outside diameter 7 mm smaller (40 mm) and 2 mm less width (13.25 mm). In FULI's catalog 30203 has a dynamic load rating of 20.70 kN against 28.30 kN and a weight of about 0.079 kg against 0.129 kg for 30303. 30203 suits a housing with less room; 30303 carries more load.
What size is 30303 in inches?
30303 is 0.6693 × 1.8504 × 0.6004 in (17 × 47 × 15.25 mm, d × D × T). The nearest common inch shaft size to the 17 mm bore of 30303 is 11/16 in (17.46 mm), 0.46 mm larger than the bore, so 30303 will not go on it. Use an inch bearing on an inch shaft.
How much does 30303 weigh?
About 0.129 kg in FULI's catalog, so 100 pieces weigh about 12.9 kg before packing. The weight is for the cone and cup together.
How much grease does 30303 need?
About 3.58 g each time it is relubricated from the side (0.005 × 47 × 15.25). FULI ships 30303 rust-protected without grease, so the first fill is made at mounting.
Is 30303 the same size across brands?
Bore d, outside diameter D and total width T are the same: 30303 is an ISO designation. The letters each maker adds (NSK HR and J, NTN 4T-, Koyo JR, FAG XL, SKF J2/Q) are series, design or cage codes, not seal codes.
