How the 22332EMKD1 model number is decoded
22332EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing: two rows of symmetric rollers on a sphered outer raceway, 160×340×114 mm to ISO 15, with one-piece machined brass cage (EM high-capacity design). Reading the full code: the number gives the 160×340 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 sphered outer raceway lets the inner-ring assembly pivot, accommodating shaft deflection and housing misalignment (around 1–2° for this class; use the 2203E value for the exact series) without edge loading the rollers. Equivalent-load planning keeps a radial plus moderate axial combination on 22332EMKD1; if the axial component dominates, pair with a thrust bearing rather than running one roller row unloaded. 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 160 mm set.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- steel-mill and heavy crusher main shafts
- mining shovel and dragline swing shafts
- cement-rotary-kiln support and trunnion rolls
- large SAG/ball-mill trunnion and pinion shafts
Known failure patterns
- raceway spalling at the roller ends when misalignment or deflection concentrates the line contact
- pressed EA cage fatigue under sustained vibration when minimum load is not maintained
- 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
- water-induced pitting in washdown or outdoor duty without effective external seals
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 160 mm bore 22332EMKD1 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.
- 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 160 mm bearing, and drive-up procedures differ.
- Minimum load must be maintained even at rest under vibration: an unloaded 22332EMKD1 on a stopped screen false-brinells; parking brakes and shaker isolation both matter.
- Adapter-sleeve mounting requires the correct sleeve series and locknut for the 160 mm shaft; a sleeve sized to bore alone ignores thread, width and the oil-injection option on large K seats.
- Minimum load must be maintained even at rest under vibration: an unloaded 22332EMKD1 on a stopped screen false-brinells; parking brakes and shaker isolation both matter.
- The 1950/2210 kN ratings, 109 kN Pu and 49500 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22332EMKD1 (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 22332EMKD1?
22332EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 160 mm bore, 340 mm OD and 114 mm width (6.299 × 13.386 × 4.488 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 1950 kN, C0 2210 kN, Pu 109 kN, grease limiting speed 1,300 r/min, oil 1,600 r/min, mass about 49500 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. 22332EMKD1 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 22332EMD1.
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. 22332EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 22332EMKD1?
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. 22332EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 22332EMKD1 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 — 1950 kN C / 2210 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
