How the NN3034 model number is decoded
NN3034 belongs to the NTN cylindrical roller range in NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: line-contact rollers between ground raceways for a 490 kN dynamic rating in the 170 mm bore. On the NTN nameplate NN states which ring carries the ribs, which determines whether NN3034 floats or locates; the numeric remainder is the ISO 15 series and 170 mm bore reference, not a fit or clearance instruction. NTN ships these bearings open with normal (CN) radial clearance and P0 tolerance as standard; precision classes and C3/C4 clearance are separate order suffixes, not part of NN3034. Equivalent-load planning treats NN3034 as a pure radial bearing: keep P below 490 kN at the required L10, and let a paired angular-contact or thrust part carry any sustained axial component. Housing and shaft fillets must clear the ring chamfers of NN3034; an oversized radius locks the ring on its face and tilts the 67 mm-wide seat.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- machine-tool main spindles requiring high radial stiffness
- precision gearbox and indexing-drive shafts
- high-rpm motorised grinding and milling spindles
- CNC lathe and machining-centre spindle radial sets
Known failure patterns
- inner-ring raceway spalling from overload in the line-contact Hertzian zone
- cage wear accelerated when the EA high-capacity roller complement runs continuously above its thermal balance
- micro-pitting when the EHL film falls below the composite roughness at high specific load
- brinelling from static overload or impact during handling
- brinelling from static overload or impact during handling
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 170 mm bore, oil-lubricated arrangements toward 2,700 r/min need positive flow and drain design; the 12600 g NN3034 ring stores enough heat that grease-only duty needs a careful relubrication calculation.
- Grease limiting speed 2,300 r/min and oil 2,700 r/min are different limits for NN3034: the first is the cage/lubricant mechanical ceiling, the second assumes real oil flow rather than an oil bath.
- Grease limiting speed 2,300 r/min and oil 2,700 r/min are different limits for NN3034: the first is the cage/lubricant mechanical ceiling, the second assumes real oil flow rather than an oil bath.
- Open NN3034 units need application-supplied sealing and a defined lubricant schedule; film thickness is the first failure mode for line contact when viscosity drops at the 170 mm contact.
- Never press either ring through the roller complement when fitting: mounting force goes through the ring faces, or the 260 mm race brinells and releases as vibration within hours.
- The 490/775 kN ratings, 75 kN Pu and 12600 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for NN3034 (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.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of NN3034?
NN3034 is an NTN NN double-row precision cylindrical roller bearing to ISO 15: 170 mm bore, 260 mm OD and 67 mm width (6.693 × 10.236 × 2.638 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 490 kN, C0 775 kN, Pu 75 kN, grease limiting speed 2,300 r/min, oil 2,700 r/min, mass about 12600 g. It is open, with a machined or stamped steel cage per the precision execution.
What is the difference between NU, NJ, NUP, N and NF cylindrical roller bearings?
NN and NNU are double-row precision designs rather than single-row rib variants: NN has a ribbed inner ring and separable outer ring, NNU the reverse; both give high radial stiffness for spindles and are commonly ordered with P5/P4 precision and a K 1:12 tapered bore for preload setting. NN3034 is the NN execution.
What do the EA, E and ＊ suffixes mean on NTN cylindrical roller bearings?
EA is NTN's high-capacity design with a pressed sheet-steel cage and optimised roller complement in the same ISO 15 envelope; E marks the high-capacity design at the larger bores; the ＊ symbol printed before the code in the NTN catalogue marks the ULTAGE new-generation specification and is not typed as part of the order number. NN3034 is supplied in the standard open execution shown in the table.
What does the K tapered bore mean on a precision NN bearing like NN3034?
NN3034 has a cylindrical bore and mounts on a plain machined shaft seat; a K execution (1:12 taper) exists in the NN3000 series when preload must be set by drive-up on a tapered seat.
What speeds and lubrication apply to NN3034?
NTN rates NN3034 at 2,300 r/min with grease and 2,700 r/min with oil. The grease figure is the cage/film mechanical ceiling; the oil figure assumes circulating or carefully supplied oil that removes heat from the line-contact zone.
