How the 22309EAKD1 model number is decoded
The NTN order number 22309EAKD1 identifies a 45×100×36 mm (1.772 × 3.937 × 1.417 in) spherical roller bearing, 1:12 tapered bore (K), to the ISO 15 boundary plan. Digit by digit the code reads as spherical-roller dimension series plus 45 mm bore; the 36 mm width is the wide ISO 15 section, which is why spherical rollers interchange dimensionally but not in cage or rating detail. 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. Grease/oil ratio: the 4,600 r/min limiting value is .81 of the 5,700 r/min oil value; heavy 36 mm-wide cages run hot in churning grease, so quantity and groove supply both matter. After mounting on a tapered seat, lock the nut and re-check clearance after a short running-in period, because sleeve seating and ring lift-off can change the residual clearance of the 45 mm set.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- marine propulsion auxiliary shafts
- vibrating screen and feeder shafts
- industrial gearbox and reducer shafts
- conveyor pulley and elevator drum shafts
Known failure patterns
- raceway spalling at the roller ends when misalignment or deflection concentrates the line contact
- cage damage when a mounting force is applied through the roller set instead of the ring face
- roller-end smearing during skidding starts under light load and high viscosity grease
- false brinelling on stopped machines exposed to screen or crusher vibration
- rolling-contact fatigue after the catalogue L10 life at the actual load
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Vibrating-duty 45 mm bearings need the right clearance class and secure fits; verify the k5/m5 seat and relubrication routing rather than assuming the open 22309EAKD1 is greased for life.
- Oil relubrication toward 5,700 r/min needs drain and level design; flooding the 36 mm cavity churns heat through the heavy roller set and cage despite the higher oil speed figure.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 22309EAKD1 carries EA pressed-steel-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 45×100 mm envelope is identical.
- The 1:12 tapered bore is the only difference from the cylindrical-bore 22309EAD1: 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 45 mm bearing, and drive-up procedures differ.
- The 206/187 kN ratings, 11.8 kN Pu and 1340 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22309EAKD1 (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 22309EAKD1?
22309EAKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 45 mm bore, 100 mm OD and 36 mm width (1.772 × 3.937 × 1.417 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 206 kN, C0 187 kN, Pu 11.8 kN, grease limiting speed 4,600 r/min, oil 5,700 r/min, mass about 1340 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. 22309EAKD1 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 22309EAD1.
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. 22309EAKD1 is the EA pressed-steel-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 22309EAKD1?
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. 22309EAKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 22309EAKD1 take?
The sphered outer raceway compensates static and dynamic misalignment in the order of 1–2° (verify the exact 2203E figure for the 22300 series); beyond that, load concentrates on one roller row. Load is predominantly radial with a moderate axial share in either direction — 206 kN C / 187 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
