How the 5208SCLLD model number is decoded
At 40 x 80 x 30.2 mm, NTN 5208SCLLD sits in the medium-duty 5200S double-row family of the angular-contact programme. Reading the code: 52 is the double-row dimension series (medium-duty 5200S double-row family), 08 encodes the 40 mm bore (bore code x 5), and CLLD marks the SC internal design with contact rubber seals on both sides. The radial section height here is 20.0 mm, and the catalogue couples that with C 36.5 kN / C0 29 kN. Choose the medium-duty 5200S double-row family when the shaft needs a stiff locating support and the axial component is known to act mostly one way. Set preload or end-play with the pair as a unit and lock the adjustment; a single angular-contact bearing cannot run free like a deep-groove one.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- electric motor shafts with axial locating duty
- conveyor drive and tension-drum shafts
- agricultural gearbox and PTO shaft supports
- printing-press cylinder and folder shafts
Known failure patterns
- false brinelling on the raceway contact ellipses when a preloaded spindle sits vibrating at standstill — visible as evenly spaced flute-like wear at ball pitch
- loss of preload after housing-fret or shaft creep, leaving the pair loose — ball skidding, cage rattle and a falling natural frequency follow
- machined-cage land scoring when a high-speed spindle runs past its grease rating and the cage runs dry on its guidance surface
- contamination-induced denting — hard particles rolled into the contact ellipse become the initiation points for surface fatigue
- edge loading and early spalling from housing bores that are out of round or shoulders that are too small for the ring face
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- In this size class the common miss is lubrication interval, not fit — a 40 mm spindle at the catalogue speeds needs a calculated relubrication plan, not a calendar one.
- Sealed LLD contact-seal executions are grease-for-life: there is no relubrication path, so the grease life calculation replaces the relubrication plan.
- A single-row angular contact left loose on the shaft to "help assembly" will fret the seat: the contact angle keeps driving the ring axially under load.
- If the application vibrates at standstill (transport, idle machine next to a running line), specify protection: the contact ellipse of a preloaded bearing false-brinells faster than a loose one.
- A single-row angular contact left loose on the shaft to "help assembly" will fret the seat: the contact angle keeps driving the ring axially under load.
- The 36.5/29 kN ratings and 1.7 kN Pu here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 5208SCLLD; internal geometry legitimately differs between manufacturers, so re-verify ratings, contact angle and suffix before substituting another make on a rated drive.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue ratings of NTN 5208SCLLD?
5208SCLLD is a sealed double-row angular contact ball bearing to ISO 15: 40 mm bore, 80 mm outside diameter, 30.2 mm width (1.575 x 3.15 x 1.189 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 36.5 kN, C0 29 kN and a 1.7 kN fatigue load limit Pu; the grease limiting speed is 4,800 r/min and no oil rating is printed for this execution; mass about 630 g.
How is the 5208SCLLD designation structured?
52 is the double-row dimension series (medium-duty 5200S double-row family); 08 encodes the 40 mm bore (bore code x 5), and CLLD marks the SC internal design with contact rubber seals on both sides. The 80 mm OD and 30.2 mm width follow the ISO 15 boundary-dimension plan for that series.
Which axial direction does 5208SCLLD support?
5208SCLLD is a sealed double-row bearing: thrust in both directions, radial and moment load in one envelope, with contact rubber seals (grease-lubricated, no oil speed rating).
What lubrication speeds does NTN print for 5208SCLLD?
Per NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E, the grease limiting speed is 4,800 r/min and no oil rating is printed for this execution. These are catalogue ceilings for a correctly mounted bearing with the stated lubricant; preload, fill quantity, ambient heat and paired arrangements all move the real limit.
What should be checked before substituting another make for 5208SCLLD?
The 40/80/30.2 mm envelope is ISO 15 interchangeable, but internal geometry — contact angle, osculation, cage and shoulder details — is maker-specific. Re-verify C 36.5 kN / C0 29 kN, the speed figures, contact angle and suffix meaning against the donor catalogue before swapping on a rated drive.
