How the N1096 model number is decoded

For pure radial duty on a 480 mm shaft NTN supplies N1096: two integral ribs on the inner ring and a ribless separable outer ring; the open execution is rated 810 r/min on grease and 960 r/min on oil. On the NTN nameplate N states which ring carries the ribs, which determines whether N1096 floats or locates; the numeric remainder is the ISO 15 series and 480 mm bore reference, not a fit or clearance instruction. The separable ring comes off without removing the roller assembly from the other ring, which eases inspection and lets the non-locating arrangement accommodate thermal shaft growth. Selection arithmetic: Pu 197 kN is the fatigue load limit feeding the adjusted-life equation, and the C0/C ratio of 1.57 (2750/1750 kN) shows the high-static-capacity proportioning of this 480 mm bore. Heat the inner ring to max 120 °C for the 480 mm interference fit and support the ring face square during fitting; cocking over a keyway brinells the raceway before first rotation.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• At 480 mm bore, oil-lubricated arrangements toward 960 r/min need positive flow and drain design; the 124000 g N1096 ring stores enough heat that grease-only duty needs a careful relubrication calculation.
• The 100 mm width and abutment faces must be square to the axis; a tilted spacer concentrates load across the roller set and shows as uneven raceway polish on the 480 mm inner ring.
• The N rib arrangement is not interchangeable with another prefix on the same 480 mm seat: inner ring ribbed, outer ring ribless. Swapping NU for NJ changes axial location behaviour even though the 700×100 mm envelope matches.
• Do not replace N1096 with a deep-groove ball bearing on rating alone: line contact gives 1750 kN radial capacity but the bearing cannot carry the thrust duty a ball bearing can and misalignment tolerance is only 3–4 arc-minutes.
• The EA high-capacity roller complement changes the load figure versus the basic execution of the same number; the 1750/2750 kN pair here belongs to N1096 as printed, not to the bare size.
• The 1750/2750 kN ratings, 197 kN Pu and 124000 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for N1096 (standard execution); other makes sharing the ISO 15 envelope revise internal geometry without changing the order number, so keep the 2203E reference with the specification for critical drives.
