How the 22208EAKD1 model number is decoded
22208EAKD1 is the EA pressed-steel-cage execution of NTN's spherical roller range for a 40 mm shaft — 116 kN basic dynamic capacity in a 518 g, open ISO 15 envelope. Reading the full code: the number gives the 40×80 mm envelope, EA names the cage/capacity execution, K marks the 1:12 tapered bore for adapter/withdrawal-sleeve mounting, and D1 outer-ring annular oil groove with holes completes the order number. Pu 7.78 kN is the catalogue fatigue load limit for 22208EAKD1, used in the adjusted-life equation at contaminated or partial-film conditions typical of mining and vibrating duty. The 20.0 mm section height hosts the spherical roller geometry; shaft and housing fillet radii must clear the chamfer table so the 23 mm-wide ring seats fully on both sides. On vibrating-duty shafts verify the radial clearance class and cage choice at order time; the open 22208EAKD1 leaves sealing and the C3/C4 clearance decision to the application drawing.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- stone crusher and screen eccentric shafts
- papermaking and printing press rolls
- pump and fan shafts under heavy belt load
- marine propulsion auxiliary shafts
Known failure patterns
- lubricant starvation at the centre rib area when the D1/W33 groove is not connected to a relubrication supply
- pressed EA cage fatigue under sustained vibration when minimum load is not maintained
- micro-pitting when the EHL film is thinner than the raceway composite roughness
- brinelling from static overload or a hammer blow during sleeve mounting
- brinelling from static overload or a hammer blow during sleeve mounting
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Vibrating-duty 40 mm bearings need the right clearance class and secure fits; verify the k5/m5 seat and relubrication routing rather than assuming the open 22208EAKD1 is greased for life.
- The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 22208EAKD1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- Self-aligning does not mean unlimited misalignment: beyond the catalogue angle the outer ring's spherical travel is exhausted and the 116 kN rating no longer applies.
- The two roller rows must share load equally — a tilted spacer or unequal abutment on the 23 mm-wide ring loads one row only and shows as asymmetric race polish during inspection.
- The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 22208EAKD1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- The 116/105 kN ratings, 7.78 kN Pu and 518 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22208EAKD1 (EA pressed-steel-cage/D1); another maker's same-envelope part revises internal geometry, so re-verify ratings and cage before substitution on vibrating or rated drives.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of 22208EAKD1?
22208EAKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 40 mm bore, 80 mm OD and 23 mm width (1.575 × 3.15 × 0.906 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 116 kN, C0 105 kN, Pu 7.78 kN, grease limiting speed 6,800 r/min, oil 8,500 r/min, mass about 518 g. It is open, with pressed sheet-steel window cage (EA high-capacity design) and a 1:12 tapered bore.
What is the difference between the K/K30 tapered bore and the cylindrical bore versions?
K denotes a 1:12 tapered bore. 22208EAKD1 mounts on an adapter sleeve (or tapered shaft seat) and is driven up to the specified residual clearance; its cylindrical-bore counterpart in the same envelope and ratings is 22208EAD1.
What do EA and EM mean on NTN spherical roller bearings?
EA is the NTN standard-capacity/high-capacity execution with a pressed sheet-steel window cage; EM is the high-capacity execution with a one-piece machined brass cage. Both use the optimised symmetric-roller design, but cage identity changes mass, speed behaviour and suitability for duties like vibrating screens, so they are separate order numbers. 22208EAKD1 is the EA pressed-steel-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 22208EAKD1?
D1 is NTN's outer-ring lubrication feature: an annular groove with oil holes around the outer ring, aligned with a housing grease port so lubricant reaches both roller rows directly. 22208EAKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 22208EAKD1 take?
The sphered outer raceway compensates static and dynamic misalignment in the order of 1–2° (verify the exact 2203E figure for the 22200 series); beyond that, load concentrates on one roller row. Load is predominantly radial with a moderate axial share in either direction — 116 kN C / 105 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
