How the 22310EMKD1 model number is decoded
22310EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing: two rows of symmetric rollers on a sphered outer raceway, 50×110×40 mm to ISO 15, with one-piece machined brass cage (EM high-capacity design). On the NTN nameplate the suffix cluster after the size reads in order: cage design (EM), bore (K), lubrication feature (D1); 22310EMKD1 is assembled exactly in that order. The 30.0 mm radial section over the 50 mm bore carries two roller rows; capacity per millimetre of bore is about 5.0 kN/mm, among the highest of rolling bearings for the ISO 15 envelope. 50 mm bore is 1.969 in and 110 mm OD is 4.331 in; the ISO 15 envelope swaps between brands, but the 250/232 kN ratings and cage design are NTN 2203E values. Fillet radii on shaft and housing must clear the ring chamfers of the 40 mm-wide set; use the NTN shoulder/withdrawal-groove table rather than copying a ball-bearing layout.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- vibrating screen and feeder shafts
- industrial gearbox and reducer shafts
- conveyor pulley and elevator drum shafts
- stone crusher and screen eccentric shafts
Known failure patterns
- lubricant starvation at the centre rib area when the D1/W33 groove is not connected to a relubrication supply
- 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
- rolling-contact fatigue after the catalogue L10 life at the actual load
- fretting corrosion between adapter sleeve and tapered bore when the drive-up is insufficient
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Vibrating-duty 50 mm bearings need the right clearance class and secure fits; verify the k5/m5 seat and relubrication routing rather than assuming the open 22310EMKD1 is greased for life.
- Never substitute 22310EMKD1 by envelope alone: the 232 kN C0 and 14 kN Pu are specific to the NTN EM machined-brass-cage execution, and vibrating duty depends heavily on cage identity.
- Open spherical rollers swallow dust in mining duty; specify labyrinth or taconite seals externally, or the 4,300 r/min grease rating is lost to abrasive wear long before fatigue.
- Minimum load must be maintained even at rest under vibration: an unloaded 22310EMKD1 on a stopped screen false-brinells; parking brakes and shaker isolation both matter.
- The 1:12 tapered bore is the only difference from the cylindrical-bore 22310EMD1: envelopes and ratings match, but drive-up tooling, sleeve and seat do not — never mix the two mounting methods.
- The 250/232 kN ratings, 14 kN Pu and 1800 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22310EMKD1 (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 22310EMKD1?
22310EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 50 mm bore, 110 mm OD and 40 mm width (1.969 × 4.331 × 1.575 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 250 kN, C0 232 kN, Pu 14 kN, grease limiting speed 4,300 r/min, oil 5,300 r/min, mass about 1800 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. 22310EMKD1 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 22310EMD1.
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. 22310EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 22310EMKD1?
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. 22310EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 22310EMKD1 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 — 250 kN C / 232 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
