How the N2216 model number is decoded

N2216 is the wide (22) section of the NTN N2200 dimension series for a 80 mm shaft — 163 kN of basic dynamic capacity in a 1890 g, open bearing. On the NTN nameplate N states which ring carries the ribs, which determines whether N2216 floats or locates; the numeric remainder is the ISO 15 series and 80 mm bore reference, not a fit or clearance instruction. Line contact between rollers and raceways gives N2216 high radial capacity but no tolerance for misalignment: beyond roughly 3–4 arc-minutes the roller ends edge-load and fatigue accelerates. Mass 1890 g for the 80×140×33 mm N2216 execution covers the pressed-steel cage and full roller complement; substitute on mass plus rating, not envelope alone. On N arrangements confirm which ring is separable before heating: forcing the ribbed ring off over the roller complement damages the cage and rib faces.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Induction-heat the 80 mm inner ring (max 120 °C) and mount it before fitting the outer ring; the ring mass makes square guidance essential — driving through the rollers brinells the 140 mm raceway.
• Wide (22/23) and light (10/49) executions at 80 mm bore share bore but not OD/width; check the full N2200 series code before substituting, because housing and shoulder geometry will not interchange.
• The 33 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 80 mm inner ring.
• The 30.0 mm section at 80 mm bore leaves a narrow oil path; with the standard cage the relubrication groove and oil-level design must keep grease from churning in the 33 mm-wide cavity.
• Wide (22/23) and light (10/49) executions at 80 mm bore share bore but not OD/width; check the full N2200 series code before substituting, because housing and shoulder geometry will not interchange.
• The 163/186 kN ratings, 22 kN Pu and 1890 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for N2216 (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.
