How the 22244EMKD1 model number is decoded
For heavy radial load with misalignment on a 220 mm shaft, NTN supplies 22244EMKD1: sphered outer raceway, two roller rows, one-piece machined brass cage (EM high-capacity design), oil speed 1,500 r/min. On the NTN nameplate the suffix cluster after the size reads in order: cage design (EM), bore (K), lubrication feature (D1); 22244EMKD1 is assembled exactly in that order. The 1:12 tapered bore mounts on an adapter/withdrawal sleeve (or tapered seat); drive-up sets the residual radial clearance and fixes the axial position of the 220 mm bore assembly. Speed planning: 1,200 r/min grease limiting speed is the cage/kinematic ceiling and 1,500 r/min is the oil-lubricated value for the 220 mm bore; vibrating screens rarely approach either and are load/cage limited instead. Fillet radii on shaft and housing must clear the ring chamfers of the 108 mm-wide set; use the NTN shoulder/withdrawal-groove table rather than copying a ball-bearing layout.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large wind-turbine main-shaft arrangements
- steel-mill and heavy crusher main shafts
- mining shovel and dragline swing shafts
- cement-rotary-kiln support and trunnion rolls
Known failure patterns
- lubricant starvation at the centre rib area when the D1/W33 groove is not connected to a relubrication supply
- machined EM cage wear from inadequate oil film at the cage-guiding surfaces
- micro-pitting when the EHL film is thinner than the raceway composite roughness
- asymmetric wear on the two roller rows from sustained angular misalignment beyond the self-aligning range
- asymmetric wear on the two roller rows from sustained angular misalignment beyond the self-aligning range
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 220 mm bore 22244EMKD1 is normally mounted on adapter/withdrawal sleeves with hydraulic assistance; follow the NTN drive-up angle or oil-injection procedure — manual nut tightening cannot set the multi-tonne seating correctly.
- The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 22244EMKD1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 22244EMKD1 carries EM machined-brass-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 220×400 mm envelope is identical.
- Adapter-sleeve mounting requires the correct sleeve series and locknut for the 220 mm shaft; a sleeve sized to bore alone ignores thread, width and the oil-injection option on large K seats.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 22244EMKD1 carries EM machined-brass-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 220×400 mm envelope is identical.
- The 2210/2690 kN ratings, 149 kN Pu and 58400 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22244EMKD1 (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 22244EMKD1?
22244EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 220 mm bore, 400 mm OD and 108 mm width (8.661 × 15.748 × 4.252 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 2210 kN, C0 2690 kN, Pu 149 kN, grease limiting speed 1,200 r/min, oil 1,500 r/min, mass about 58400 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. 22244EMKD1 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 22244EMD1.
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. 22244EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 22244EMKD1?
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. 22244EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 22244EMKD1 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 — 2210 kN C / 2690 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
