How the 22352EMD1 model number is decoded

22352EMD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing: two rows of symmetric rollers on a sphered outer raceway, 260×540×165 mm to ISO 15, with one-piece machined brass cage (EM high-capacity design). Digit by digit the code reads as spherical-roller dimension series plus 260 mm bore; the 165 mm width is the wide ISO 15 section, which is why spherical rollers interchange dimensionally but not in cage or rating detail. 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. 260 mm bore is 10.236 in and 540 mm OD is 21.26 in; the ISO 15 envelope swaps between brands, but the 4020/4830 kN ratings and cage design are NTN 2203E values. Never mount 22352EMD1 by striking the outer ring through the roller set; drive through ring faces (or the adapter sleeve nut) and support the ring square to avoid brinelling the 540 mm race.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • mining shovel and dragline swing shafts
  • cement-rotary-kiln support and trunnion rolls
  • large SAG/ball-mill trunnion and pinion shafts
  • heavy vibrating screens and grizzly feeders

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
  • micro-pitting when the EHL film is thinner than the raceway composite roughness
  • false brinelling on stopped machines exposed to screen or crusher vibration
  • water-induced pitting in washdown or outdoor duty without effective external seals

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • At 260 mm bore 22352EMD1 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.
  • Adapter-sleeve mounting requires the correct sleeve series and locknut for the 260 mm shaft; a sleeve sized to bore alone ignores thread, width and the oil-injection option on large K seats.
  • Never substitute 22352EMD1 by envelope alone: the 4830 kN C0 and 221 kN Pu are specific to the NTN EM machined-brass-cage execution, and vibrating duty depends heavily on cage identity.
  • Self-aligning does not mean unlimited misalignment: beyond the catalogue angle the outer ring's spherical travel is exhausted and the 4020 kN rating no longer applies.
  • Minimum load must be maintained even at rest under vibration: an unloaded 22352EMD1 on a stopped screen false-brinells; parking brakes and shaker isolation both matter.
  • The 4020/4830 kN ratings, 221 kN Pu and 186000 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 22352EMD1 (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 22352EMD1?

22352EMD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 260 mm bore, 540 mm OD and 165 mm width (10.236 × 21.26 × 6.496 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 4020 kN, C0 4830 kN, Pu 221 kN, grease limiting speed 720 r/min, oil 920 r/min, mass about 186000 g. It is open, with one-piece machined brass cage (EM high-capacity design).

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

22352EMD1 has a cylindrical bore and mounts directly on a machined shaft seat. Its tapered-bore counterpart is 22352EMKD1 (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. 22352EMD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the * ULTAGE new-generation mark.

What do D1 and W33 mean on 22352EMD1?

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. 22352EMD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.

How much misalignment and axial load can 22352EMD1 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 — 4020 kN C / 4830 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
