How the 23028EMKD1 model number is decoded
The NTN order number 23028EMKD1 identifies a 140×210×53 mm (5.512 × 8.268 × 2.087 in) spherical roller bearing, 1:12 tapered bore (K), to the ISO 15 boundary plan. On the NTN nameplate the suffix cluster after the size reads in order: cage design (EM), bore (K), lubrication feature (D1); 23028EMKD1 is assembled exactly in that order. Pu 47.5 kN is the catalogue fatigue load limit for 23028EMKD1, used in the adjusted-life equation at contaminated or partial-film conditions typical of mining and vibrating duty. 140 mm bore is 5.512 in and 210 mm OD is 8.268 in; the ISO 15 envelope swaps between brands, but the 597/783 kN ratings and cage design are NTN 2203E values. Check the self-aligning movement after fitting: the housing should pivot freely around the sphered outer raceway; a pinched outer ring removes the alignment capacity the bearing was selected for.
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
- 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
- sliding wear and heat when relubrication intervals ignore the groove (D1/W33) supply path
- rolling-contact fatigue after the catalogue L10 life at the actual load
- false brinelling on stopped machines exposed to screen or crusher vibration
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 140 mm bore 23028EMKD1 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 D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 23028EMKD1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- Never substitute 23028EMKD1 by envelope alone: the 783 kN C0 and 47.5 kN Pu are specific to the NTN EM machined-brass-cage execution, and vibrating duty depends heavily on cage identity.

- The 597/783 kN ratings, 47.5 kN Pu and 6180 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 23028EMKD1 (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 23028EMKD1?
23028EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 140 mm bore, 210 mm OD and 53 mm width (5.512 × 8.268 × 2.087 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 597 kN, C0 783 kN, Pu 47.5 kN, grease limiting speed 2,100 r/min, oil 2,700 r/min, mass about 6180 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. 23028EMKD1 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 23028EMD1.
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. 23028EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 23028EMKD1?
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. 23028EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 23028EMKD1 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 — 597 kN C / 783 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
