How the 23064EMKD1 model number is decoded
NTN lists 23064EMKD1 with a 1:12 tapered bore (K) and D1 outer-ring annular oil groove with holes: 320 mm bore, 480 mm OD, 121 mm width, rated 850 r/min on grease. Reading the full code: the number gives the 320×480 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. The 80.0 mm radial section over the 320 mm bore carries two roller rows; capacity per millimetre of bore is about 7.9 kN/mm, among the highest of rolling bearings for the ISO 15 envelope. The 80.0 mm section height hosts the spherical roller geometry; shaft and housing fillet radii must clear the chamfer table so the 121 mm-wide ring seats fully on both sides. 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
- 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
- machined EM cage wear from inadequate oil film at the cage-guiding surfaces
- roller-end smearing during skidding starts under light load and high viscosity grease
- asymmetric wear on the two roller rows from sustained angular misalignment beyond the self-aligning range
- false brinelling on stopped machines exposed to screen or crusher vibration
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 320 mm bore 23064EMKD1 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 121 mm-wide ring loads one row only and shows as asymmetric race polish during inspection.
- Adapter-sleeve mounting requires the correct sleeve series and locknut for the 320 mm shaft; a sleeve sized to bore alone ignores thread, width and the oil-injection option on large K30 seats.
- K and K30 are different tapers — K is 1:12 and K30 is 1:30 on the wide series; an adapter sleeve for one will not mount the other 320 mm bearing, and drive-up procedures differ.
- The 1:12 tapered bore is the only difference from the cylindrical-bore 23064EMD1: envelopes and ratings match, but drive-up tooling, sleeve and seat do not — never mix the two mounting methods.
- The 2540/4020 kN ratings, 191 kN Pu and 76600 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 23064EMKD1 (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 23064EMKD1?
23064EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 320 mm bore, 480 mm OD and 121 mm width (12.598 × 18.898 × 4.764 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 2540 kN, C0 4020 kN, Pu 191 kN, grease limiting speed 850 r/min, oil 1,070 r/min, mass about 76600 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. 23064EMKD1 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 23064EMD1.
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. 23064EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 23064EMKD1?
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. 23064EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 23064EMKD1 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 — 2540 kN C / 4020 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
