How the 22338EMKD1 model number is decoded
22338EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution of NTN's spherical roller range for a 190 mm shaft — 2600 kN basic dynamic capacity in a 79900 g, open ISO 15 envelope. Reading the full code: the number gives the 190×400 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. Pu 145 kN is the catalogue fatigue load limit for 22338EMKD1, used in the adjusted-life equation at contaminated or partial-film conditions typical of mining and vibrating duty. With about 13.7 kN of C per millimetre of the 190 mm bore, 22338EMKD1 screens interchange candidates quickly — then verify cage (EA/EM), bore (K/K30) and lubrication feature (D1/W33) suffixes. On vibrating-duty shafts verify the radial clearance class and cage choice at order time; the open 22338EMKD1 leaves sealing and the C3/C4 clearance decision to the application drawing.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- heavy vibrating screens and grizzly feeders
- offshore and marine propulsion shaftlines
- large wind-turbine main-shaft arrangements
- steel-mill and heavy crusher main 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
- brinelling from static overload or a hammer blow during sleeve mounting
- asymmetric wear on the two roller rows from sustained angular misalignment beyond the self-aligning range
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 190 mm bore 22338EMKD1 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.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 22338EMKD1 carries EM machined-brass-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 190×400 mm envelope is identical.
- Open spherical rollers swallow dust in mining duty; specify labyrinth or taconite seals externally, or the 1,000 r/min grease rating is lost to abrasive wear long before fatigue.
- The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 22338EMKD1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 22338EMKD1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- The 2600/3120 kN ratings, 145 kN Pu and 79900 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22338EMKD1 (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 22338EMKD1?
22338EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 190 mm bore, 400 mm OD and 132 mm width (7.48 × 15.748 × 5.197 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 2600 kN, C0 3120 kN, Pu 145 kN, grease limiting speed 1,000 r/min, oil 1,300 r/min, mass about 79900 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. 22338EMKD1 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 22338EMD1.
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. 22338EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 22338EMKD1?
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. 22338EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 22338EMKD1 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 — 2600 kN C / 3120 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
