How the NN3084 model number is decoded
NN3084 is an NTN NN cylindrical roller bearing: two integral ribs on the outer ring and a ribless, separable inner ring — a non-locating bearing that lets the shaft float axially, inside the 420×620×150 mm ISO 15 envelope. On the NTN nameplate NN states which ring carries the ribs, which determines whether NN3084 floats or locates; the numeric remainder is the ISO 15 series and 420 mm bore reference, not a fit or clearance instruction. Line contact between rollers and raceways gives NN3084 high radial capacity but no tolerance for misalignment: beyond roughly 3–4 arc-minutes the roller ends edge-load and fatigue accelerates. Mass 154000 g for the 420×620×150 mm NN3084 execution covers the pressed-steel cage and full roller complement; substitute on mass plus rating, not envelope alone. Keep the open bearing wrapped until fitting: the line-contact raceways of the 420 mm bore indent under a single hard particle, and the steel cage provides no sealing of its own.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- high-speed turbine and turbo-blower rotor supports
- coordinate-measuring and semiconductor-equipment drives
- machine-tool main spindles requiring high radial stiffness
- precision gearbox and indexing-drive shafts
Known failure patterns
- roller smearing (microwelding) at start-up before the oil film builds under insufficient radial load
- cage distortion after a mounting blow carried through the roller set
- roller-end and raceway scoring from inadequate oil flow under heavy radial load
- electrical pitting on VFD-driven motor shafts without grounding protection
- electrical pitting on VFD-driven motor shafts without grounding protection
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 420 mm bore, oil-lubricated arrangements toward 990 r/min need positive flow and drain design; the 154000 g NN3084 ring stores enough heat that grease-only duty needs a careful relubrication calculation.
- Do not replace NN3084 with a deep-groove ball bearing on rating alone: line contact gives 2300 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 150 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 420 mm inner ring.
- The 100.0 mm section at 420 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 150 mm-wide cavity.
- Wide (22/23) and light (10/49) executions at 420 mm bore share bore but not OD/width; check the full NN3000 series code before substituting, because housing and shoulder geometry will not interchange.
- The 2300/4300 kN ratings, 320 kN Pu and 154000 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for NN3084 (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 NN3084?
NN3084 is an NTN NN double-row precision cylindrical roller bearing to ISO 15: 420 mm bore, 620 mm OD and 150 mm width (16.535 × 24.409 × 5.906 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 2300 kN, C0 4300 kN, Pu 320 kN, grease limiting speed 840 r/min, oil 990 r/min, mass about 154000 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. NN3084 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. NN3084 is supplied in the standard open execution shown in the table.
What does the K tapered bore mean on a precision NN bearing like NN3084?
NN3084 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 NN3084?
NTN rates NN3084 at 840 r/min with grease and 990 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.
