How the 23034EAKD1 model number is decoded
For heavy radial load with misalignment on a 170 mm shaft, NTN supplies 23034EAKD1: sphered outer raceway, two roller rows, pressed sheet-steel window cage (EA high-capacity design), oil speed 2,200 r/min. On the NTN nameplate the suffix cluster after the size reads in order: cage design (EA), bore (K), lubrication feature (D1); 23034EAKD1 is assembled exactly in that order. The 1:12 tapered bore mounts on an adapter/withdrawal sleeve (or tapered seat); drive-up sets the residual radial clearance and fixes the axial position of the 170 mm bore assembly. Speed planning: 1,700 r/min grease limiting speed is the cage/kinematic ceiling and 2,200 r/min is the oil-lubricated value for the 170 mm bore; vibrating screens rarely approach either and are load/cage limited instead. Mount 23034EAKD1 on its adapter or withdrawal sleeve on the 170 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
- offshore and marine propulsion shaftlines
- large wind-turbine main-shaft arrangements
- steel-mill and heavy crusher main shafts
- mining shovel and dragline swing shafts
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
- hard-particle indentation through the open arrangement in dusty mining duty
- brinelling from static overload or a hammer blow during sleeve mounting
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 170 mm bore 23034EAKD1 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.
- Oil relubrication toward 2,200 r/min needs drain and level design; flooding the 67 mm cavity churns heat through the heavy roller set and cage despite the higher oil speed figure.
- The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 23034EAKD1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- Never substitute 23034EAKD1 by envelope alone: the 1240 kN C0 and 68.8 kN Pu are specific to the NTN EA pressed-steel-cage execution, and vibrating duty depends heavily on cage identity.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 23034EAKD1 carries EA pressed-steel-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 170×260 mm envelope is identical.
- The 914/1240 kN ratings, 68.8 kN Pu and 12300 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 23034EAKD1 (EA pressed-steel-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 23034EAKD1?
23034EAKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 170 mm bore, 260 mm OD and 67 mm width (6.693 × 10.236 × 2.638 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 914 kN, C0 1240 kN, Pu 68.8 kN, grease limiting speed 1,700 r/min, oil 2,200 r/min, mass about 12300 g. It is open, with pressed sheet-steel window cage (EA 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. 23034EAKD1 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 23034EAD1.
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. 23034EAKD1 is the EA pressed-steel-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 23034EAKD1?
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. 23034EAKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 23034EAKD1 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 — 914 kN C / 1240 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
