How the 22324EAD1 model number is decoded
For heavy radial load with misalignment on a 120 mm shaft, NTN supplies 22324EAD1: sphered outer raceway, two roller rows, pressed sheet-steel window cage (EA high-capacity design), oil speed 2,200 r/min. Digit by digit the code reads as spherical-roller dimension series plus 120 mm bore; the 86 mm width is the wide ISO 15 section, which is why spherical rollers interchange dimensionally but not in cage or rating detail. At 1170 kN C and 22300 g mass the 22300 series part is built for shock and vibration; the 86 mm-wide ring needs square abutments to keep both rows equally loaded. The 70.0 mm section height hosts the spherical roller geometry; shaft and housing fillet radii must clear the chamfer table so the 86 mm-wide ring seats fully on both sides. Fit the cylindrical-bore 22324EAD1 with the inner ring heated (max 120 °C) for the shaft interference; the outer ring slides into the housing with its spherical seat able to pivot after seating.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- offshore and marine propulsion shaftlines
- large wind-turbine main-shaft arrangements
- steel-mill and heavy crusher main shafts
- mining shovel and dragline swing 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
- sliding wear and heat when relubrication intervals ignore the groove (D1/W33) supply path
- hard-particle indentation through the open arrangement in dusty mining duty
- brinelling from static overload or a hammer blow during sleeve mounting
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 120 mm bore 22324EAD1 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.
- Oil relubrication toward 2,200 r/min needs drain and level design; flooding the 86 mm cavity churns heat through the heavy roller set and cage despite the higher oil speed figure.
- The cylindrical-bore 22324EAD1 and its tapered-bore counterpart 22324EAKD1 share envelope and ratings but not mounting: do not order the K variant unless the drawing specifies a sleeve or tapered seat.
- Oil relubrication toward 2,200 r/min needs drain and level design; flooding the 86 mm cavity churns heat through the heavy roller set and cage despite the higher oil speed figure.
- Open spherical rollers swallow dust in mining duty; specify labyrinth or taconite seals externally, or the 1,800 r/min grease rating is lost to abrasive wear long before fatigue.
- The 1170/1280 kN ratings, 68.4 kN Pu and 22300 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22324EAD1 (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 22324EAD1?
22324EAD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 120 mm bore, 260 mm OD and 86 mm width (4.724 × 10.236 × 3.386 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 1170 kN, C0 1280 kN, Pu 68.4 kN, grease limiting speed 1,800 r/min, oil 2,200 r/min, mass about 22300 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?
22324EAD1 has a cylindrical bore and mounts directly on a machined shaft seat. Its tapered-bore counterpart is 22324EAKD1 (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. 22324EAD1 is the EA pressed-steel-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 22324EAD1?
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. 22324EAD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 22324EAD1 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 — 1170 kN C / 1280 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
