How the 22315EAD1 model number is decoded

The NTN order number 22315EAD1 identifies a 75×160×55 mm (2.953 × 6.299 × 2.165 in) spherical roller bearing, cylindrical bore, to the ISO 15 boundary plan. Numbering ties 22315EAD1 to its envelope and execution: same-number EA versus EM or plain variants share the 75 mm bore but differ in cage and sometimes mass, so they are quoted as separate articles. Open by design, 22315EAD1 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. Equivalent-load planning keeps a radial plus moderate axial combination on 22315EAD1; if the axial component dominates, pair with a thrust bearing rather than running one roller row unloaded. Fillet radii on shaft and housing must clear the ring chamfers of the 55 mm-wide set; use the NTN shoulder/withdrawal-groove table rather than copying a ball-bearing layout.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • jaw/cone crusher eccentric and shaft positions
  • paper-machine dryer and press rolls
  • cement-mill and kiln auxiliary drives
  • large gearbox and marine gear 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
  • water-induced pitting in washdown or outdoor duty without effective external seals
  • fretting corrosion between adapter sleeve and tapered bore when the drive-up is insufficient

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • Mount the 75 mm ring with induction heat or the sleeve drive-up procedure; at 5180 g cocking damages the spherical raceways, and repositioning after seating is impractical.
  • Adapter-sleeve mounting requires the correct sleeve series and locknut for the 75 mm shaft; a sleeve sized to bore alone ignores thread, width and the oil-injection option on large K seats.
  • 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 75 mm bearing, and drive-up procedures differ.
  • 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 75 mm bearing, and drive-up procedures differ.
  • Self-aligning does not mean unlimited misalignment: beyond the catalogue angle the outer ring's spherical travel is exhausted and the 491 kN rating no longer applies.
  • The 491/467 kN ratings, 29.8 kN Pu and 5180 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22315EAD1 (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 22315EAD1?

22315EAD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 75 mm bore, 160 mm OD and 55 mm width (2.953 × 6.299 × 2.165 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 491 kN, C0 467 kN, Pu 29.8 kN, grease limiting speed 2,900 r/min, oil 3,600 r/min, mass about 5180 g. It is open, with pressed sheet-steel window cage (EA high-capacity design).

What is the difference between the K/K30 tapered bore and the cylindrical bore versions?

22315EAD1 has a cylindrical bore and mounts directly on a machined shaft seat. Its tapered-bore counterpart is 22315EAKD1 (K = 1:12, or K30 = 1:30 on the wide series), intended for adapter/withdrawal-sleeve mounting.

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. 22315EAD1 is the EA pressed-steel-cage execution, listed with the * ULTAGE new-generation mark.

What do D1 and W33 mean on 22315EAD1?

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. 22315EAD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.

How much misalignment and axial load can 22315EAD1 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 — 491 kN C / 467 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
