How the 23026EMKD1 model number is decoded
23026EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing: two rows of symmetric rollers on a sphered outer raceway, 130×200×52 mm to ISO 15, with one-piece machined brass cage (EM high-capacity design). On the NTN nameplate the suffix cluster after the size reads in order: cage design (EM), bore (K), lubrication feature (D1); 23026EMKD1 is assembled exactly in that order. The 35.0 mm radial section over the 130 mm bore carries two roller rows; capacity per millimetre of bore is about 4.3 kN/mm, among the highest of rolling bearings for the ISO 15 envelope. Equivalent-load planning keeps a radial plus moderate axial combination on 23026EMKD1; if the axial component dominates, pair with a thrust bearing rather than running one roller row unloaded. Mount 23026EMKD1 on its adapter or withdrawal sleeve on the 130 mm plain shaft: oil the sleeve, fit the lock nut, drive up to the NTN-specified residual clearance (or use oil injection on large seats), then lock the tab washer.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large SAG/ball-mill trunnion and pinion shafts
- heavy vibrating screens and grizzly feeders
- offshore and marine propulsion shaftlines
- large wind-turbine main-shaft arrangements
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
- micro-pitting when the EHL film is thinner than the raceway composite roughness
- asymmetric wear on the two roller rows from sustained angular misalignment beyond the self-aligning range
- rolling-contact fatigue after the catalogue L10 life at the actual load
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 130 mm bore 23026EMKD1 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.
- The two roller rows must share load equally — a tilted spacer or unequal abutment on the 52 mm-wide ring loads one row only and shows as asymmetric race polish during inspection.
- The two roller rows must share load equally — a tilted spacer or unequal abutment on the 52 mm-wide ring loads one row only and shows as asymmetric race polish during inspection.
- Open spherical rollers swallow dust in mining duty; specify labyrinth or taconite seals externally, or the 2,200 r/min grease rating is lost to abrasive wear long before fatigue.
- The 1:12 tapered bore is the only difference from the cylindrical-bore 23026EMD1: envelopes and ratings match, but drive-up tooling, sleeve and seat do not — never mix the two mounting methods.
- The 565/721 kN ratings, 44.2 kN Pu and 5730 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 23026EMKD1 (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 23026EMKD1?
23026EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 130 mm bore, 200 mm OD and 52 mm width (5.118 × 7.874 × 2.047 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 565 kN, C0 721 kN, Pu 44.2 kN, grease limiting speed 2,200 r/min, oil 2,900 r/min, mass about 5730 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. 23026EMKD1 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 23026EMD1.
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. 23026EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 23026EMKD1?
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. 23026EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 23026EMKD1 take?
The sphered outer raceway compensates static and dynamic misalignment in the order of 1–2° (verify the exact 2203E figure for the 23000 series); beyond that, load concentrates on one roller row. Load is predominantly radial with a moderate axial share in either direction — 565 kN C / 721 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
