How the 22222EMKD1 model number is decoded
For heavy radial load with misalignment on a 110 mm shaft, NTN supplies 22222EMKD1: sphered outer raceway, two roller rows, one-piece machined brass cage (EM high-capacity design), oil speed 3,300 r/min. On the NTN nameplate the suffix cluster after the size reads in order: cage design (EM), bore (K), lubrication feature (D1); 22222EMKD1 is assembled exactly in that order. Open by design, 22222EMKD1 requires application seals and a grease or oil system; NTN vibrating-duty executions of this envelope are selected with cage and clearance choices that are separate order codes. Grease/oil ratio: the 2,600 r/min limiting value is .79 of the 3,300 r/min oil value; heavy 53 mm-wide cages run hot in churning grease, so quantity and groove supply both matter. Check the self-aligning movement after fitting: the housing should pivot freely around the sphered outer raceway; a pinched outer ring removes the alignment capacity the bearing was selected for.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large gearbox and marine gear shafts
- wind-turbine gearbox and rotor bearings
- large vibrating screens and mining feeders
- heavy conveyor and bucket-excavator pulleys
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
- fretting corrosion between adapter sleeve and tapered bore when the drive-up is insufficient
- rolling-contact fatigue after the catalogue L10 life at the actual load
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount the 110 mm ring with induction heat or the sleeve drive-up procedure; at 7150 g cocking damages the spherical raceways, and repositioning after seating is impractical.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 22222EMKD1 carries EM machined-brass-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 110×200 mm envelope is identical.
- Oil relubrication toward 3,300 r/min needs drain and level design; flooding the 53 mm cavity churns heat through the heavy roller set and cage despite the higher oil speed figure.
- Minimum load must be maintained even at rest under vibration: an unloaded 22222EMKD1 on a stopped screen false-brinells; parking brakes and shaker isolation both matter.
- Self-aligning does not mean unlimited misalignment: beyond the catalogue angle the outer ring's spherical travel is exhausted and the 602 kN rating no longer applies.
- The 602/643 kN ratings, 45 kN Pu and 7150 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22222EMKD1 (EM machined-brass-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 22222EMKD1?
22222EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 110 mm bore, 200 mm OD and 53 mm width (4.331 × 7.874 × 2.087 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 602 kN, C0 643 kN, Pu 45 kN, grease limiting speed 2,600 r/min, oil 3,300 r/min, mass about 7150 g. It is open, with one-piece machined brass cage (EM 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. 22222EMKD1 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 22222EMD1.
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. 22222EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 22222EMKD1?
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. 22222EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 22222EMKD1 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 — 602 kN C / 643 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
