How the 22264EMKD1 model number is decoded

For heavy radial load with misalignment on a 320 mm shaft, NTN supplies 22264EMKD1: sphered outer raceway, two roller rows, one-piece machined brass cage (EM high-capacity design), oil speed 1,020 r/min. Reading the full code: the number gives the 320×580 mm envelope, EM 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. The D1 outer-ring annular oil groove with holes makes relubrication part of the design: fresh grease reaches the rolling elements through the outer-ring feature rather than relying solely on end-side packing. 320 mm bore is 12.598 in and 580 mm OD is 22.835 in; the ISO 15 envelope swaps between brands, but the 3950/5100 kN ratings and cage design are NTN 2203E values. Mount 22264EMKD1 on its adapter or withdrawal sleeve on the 320 mm plain shaft: oil the sleeve, fit the lock nut, drive up to the NTN-specified residual clearance (or use oil injection on large seats), then lock the tab washer.

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
  • pressed EA cage fatigue under sustained vibration when minimum load is not maintained
  • roller-end smearing during skidding starts under light load and high viscosity grease
  • hard-particle indentation through the open arrangement in dusty mining duty
  • rolling-contact fatigue after the catalogue L10 life at the actual load

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • At 320 mm bore 22264EMKD1 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.
  • Self-aligning does not mean unlimited misalignment: beyond the catalogue angle the outer ring's spherical travel is exhausted and the 3950 kN rating no longer applies.
  • Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 22264EMKD1 carries EM machined-brass-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 320×580 mm envelope is identical.
  • The 1:12 tapered bore is the only difference from the cylindrical-bore 22264EMD1: envelopes and ratings match, but drive-up tooling, sleeve and seat do not — never mix the two mounting methods.
  • K and K30 are different tapers — K is 1:12 and K30 is 1:30 on the wide series; an adapter sleeve for one will not mount the other 320 mm bearing, and drive-up procedures differ.
  • The 3950/5100 kN ratings, 261 kN Pu and 174000 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22264EMKD1 (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 22264EMKD1?

22264EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 320 mm bore, 580 mm OD and 150 mm width (12.598 × 22.835 × 5.906 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 3950 kN, C0 5100 kN, Pu 261 kN, grease limiting speed 800 r/min, oil 1,020 r/min, mass about 174000 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. 22264EMKD1 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 22264EMD1.

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. 22264EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the * ULTAGE new-generation mark.

What do D1 and W33 mean on 22264EMKD1?

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. 22264EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.

How much misalignment and axial load can 22264EMKD1 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 — 3950 kN C / 5100 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
