How the 22330EMKD1 model number is decoded
NTN lists 22330EMKD1 with a 1:12 tapered bore (K) and D1 outer-ring annular oil groove with holes: 150 mm bore, 320 mm OD, 108 mm width, rated 1,400 r/min on grease. Reading the full code: the number gives the 150×320 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 bearing accepts predominantly radial load with a moderate axial share, but is not a pure thrust bearing: sustained axial-only load skids the unloaded row and damages the EM machined-brass-cage cage. Selection: the C0/C ratio of 1.09 (1890/1740 kN) reflects the heavy static and shock proportioning of 22330EMKD1; size the equivalent load at the required L10 with shock factor for the application. Fillet radii on shaft and housing must clear the ring chamfers of the 108 mm-wide set; use the NTN shoulder/withdrawal-groove table rather than copying a ball-bearing layout.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- cement-rotary-kiln support and trunnion rolls
- large SAG/ball-mill trunnion and pinion shafts
- heavy vibrating screens and grizzly feeders
- offshore and marine propulsion shaftlines
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
- sliding wear and heat when relubrication intervals ignore the groove (D1/W33) supply path
- brinelling from static overload or a hammer blow during sleeve mounting
- brinelling from static overload or a hammer blow during sleeve mounting
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 150 mm bore 22330EMKD1 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.
- Open spherical rollers swallow dust in mining duty; specify labyrinth or taconite seals externally, or the 1,400 r/min grease rating is lost to abrasive wear long before fatigue.
- Oil relubrication toward 1,700 r/min needs drain and level design; flooding the 108 mm cavity churns heat through the heavy roller set and cage despite the higher oil speed figure.
- Oil relubrication toward 1,700 r/min needs drain and level design; flooding the 108 mm cavity churns heat through the heavy roller set and cage despite the higher oil speed figure.
- Never substitute 22330EMKD1 by envelope alone: the 1890 kN C0 and 98.9 kN Pu are specific to the NTN EM machined-brass-cage execution, and vibrating duty depends heavily on cage identity.
- The 1740/1890 kN ratings, 98.9 kN Pu and 41300 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22330EMKD1 (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 22330EMKD1?
22330EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 150 mm bore, 320 mm OD and 108 mm width (5.906 × 12.598 × 4.252 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 1740 kN, C0 1890 kN, Pu 98.9 kN, grease limiting speed 1,400 r/min, oil 1,700 r/min, mass about 41300 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. 22330EMKD1 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 22330EMD1.
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. 22330EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 22330EMKD1?
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. 22330EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 22330EMKD1 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 — 1740 kN C / 1890 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
