How the 21322 model number is decoded
In the 21300-series (ISO 15 dimension series) the leading 2 marks a double-row spherical roller and the last two digits of 21322 encode the bore: code 22 = 110 mm (code × 5 from 04 upward). The ISO 15 envelope is 240 mm outside diameter and 50 mm width — 4.331 × 9.449 × 1.969 in, with a 65.0 mm radial section height. Two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers on a common sphered outer raceway self-align to shaft deflection while carrying heavy radial load and bidirectional axial load. Typical catalogue practice for a rotating inner ring is a m6 shaft seat, H7 housing and C3 internal clearance; K variants use a 1:12 tapered bore on an adapter sleeve — verify against the mounting arrangement.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- paper machine drying cylinders
- large gear drives and mill pinions
- heavy conveyor drum pulleys
- cement and aggregate processing machinery
- mining and aggregate vibrating screens
Known failure patterns
- lubricant starvation and cage wear where the relubrication interval ignores the slow-speed, dirty operating regime
- water and grit pitting of open bearings in mining and pulping duty after the housing seals degrade
- unloaded-row scuffing when pure thrust exceeds the catalogue axial capacity and one roller row unloads completely
- thermal seizure when an interference shaft fit plus hot running removes all residual radial clearance from a CN bearing
- raceway and roller spalling after the L10 life or from sustained overload and shock in crusher duty
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- The large 110 mm-bore 21322 mounts with real force: use induction heating or hydraulic drive-up on the tapered seat, measure residual clearance in micrometres, and plan lifting fixtures — the 50 mm double-row assembly cannot be drifted into position without brinelling.
- The 213 series at 110 mm bore keeps the 50 mm width comparatively narrow for its 240 mm OD; it fits restricted axial space but carries less load than a 22322, so substitution into heavy 223 duty — even at identical bore and OD — will shorten life.
- Before fitting 21322, machine the 110 mm shaft seat and 240 mm housing bore with a relief or small fillet so nothing bridges the bearing chamfer; the 50 mm-wide rings only load correctly when the full faces abut, and a large radius pinches the 65.0 mm radial section.
- On a K tapered bore with adapter sleeve, tighten the KM locknut to drive the 21322 up the sleeve, rotating the inner ring, and stop on residual clearance — measured with feelers at the unloaded rollers — not on torque alone; then lock the tab washer so the 110 mm seat cannot creep.
- Relubricate 21322 through the W33 groove while the shaft turns slowly so fresh grease flushes the full 50 mm-wide roller set; pumping grease into a stationary bearing channels it past one row and leaves the other side of the 110 mm bore starved.
- Self-aligning is not a licence to ignore alignment: 21322 accommodates typically around 1° of angular misalignment under normal load (roughly 2° only in favourable, light-load conditions) — the exact figure falls with load, so check the catalogue value rather than designing to the maximum.
- Spherical rollers need a minimum radial load to keep the rollers driven — as a rule of thumb about 2% of the basic dynamic load rating; an unloaded 21322 on an idler or in a cold-start drive will skid and smear, so add preload, reduce the bearing size or use a sealed grease-filled variant.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 21322 spherical roller bearing?
A 21322 double-row spherical roller bearing per ISO 15 has a 110 mm bore, 240 mm outer diameter and 50 mm width (4.331 × 9.449 × 1.969 in), a 65.0 mm radial section and roughly 9117 g geometry-based estimated mass; catalogue masses vary with cage and design.
How does the 21322 bore code work?
The leading 2 in 21322 denotes a double-row spherical roller, the middle digits give the ISO 15 dimension series, and the last two digits are bore code 22: 22 × 5 = 110 mm. The 240 mm OD and 50 mm width come from the dimension series (21300), not from the bore code alone.
How much misalignment can a 21322 accommodate?
Thanks to the sphered outer ring raceway, 21322 normally accommodates angular misalignment of around 1° under load (up to about 2° in favourable, lightly loaded conditions); the permissible value is smaller under full load and depends on clearance and cage design, so check the catalogue figure for the actual duty.
What is the difference between 21322 and 21322K?
The plain 21322 has a cylindrical bore for a straight shaft seat. The K suffix denotes a 1:12 tapered bore, normally mounted on an H3xx adapter sleeve over a commercial shaft (or directly on a tapered journal); the bearing is driven up the sleeve to a specified residual clearance and locked with a KM nut and tab washer.
Should the 21322 be ordered with CN, C3 or C4 clearance?
Use C3 as the usual default when the rotating inner ring has an interference fit, because the fit plus thermal expansion reduces residual play; choose C4 (often with a vibratory cage design) for screens and feeders; order CN mainly for loose fits on stationary shafts or split housings. A W33 outer-ring lubrication groove is a separate, commonly combined option.
