How the 23124EMKD1 model number is decoded
NTN lists 23124EMKD1 with a 1:12 tapered bore (K) and D1 outer-ring annular oil groove with holes: 120 mm bore, 200 mm OD, 62 mm width, rated 2,000 r/min on grease. The leading digits are the ISO 15 dimension series (23100 series); the bore code resolves to 120 mm (two-digit code ×5, with the 00–03 exception table), and 200 mm OD / 62 mm width follow the general plan. At 663 kN C and 7540 g mass the 23100 series part is built for shock and vibration; the 62 mm-wide ring needs square abutments to keep both rows equally loaded. Equivalent-load planning keeps a radial plus moderate axial combination on 23124EMKD1; if the axial component dominates, pair with a thrust bearing rather than running one roller row unloaded. Fillet radii on shaft and housing must clear the ring chamfers of the 62 mm-wide set; use the NTN shoulder/withdrawal-groove table rather than copying a ball-bearing layout.
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
- cage damage when a mounting force is applied through the roller set instead of the ring face
- sliding wear and heat when relubrication intervals ignore the groove (D1/W33) supply path
- brinelling from static overload or a hammer blow during sleeve mounting
- water-induced pitting in washdown or outdoor duty without effective external seals
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 120 mm bore 23124EMKD1 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.
- Open spherical rollers swallow dust in mining duty; specify labyrinth or taconite seals externally, or the 2,000 r/min grease rating is lost to abrasive wear long before fatigue.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 23124EMKD1 carries EM machined-brass-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 120×200 mm envelope is identical.
- Minimum load must be maintained even at rest under vibration: an unloaded 23124EMKD1 on a stopped screen false-brinells; parking brakes and shaker isolation both matter.
- Open spherical rollers swallow dust in mining duty; specify labyrinth or taconite seals externally, or the 2,000 r/min grease rating is lost to abrasive wear long before fatigue.
- The 663/820 kN ratings, 43.4 kN Pu and 7540 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 23124EMKD1 (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 23124EMKD1?
23124EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 120 mm bore, 200 mm OD and 62 mm width (4.724 × 7.874 × 2.441 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 663 kN, C0 820 kN, Pu 43.4 kN, grease limiting speed 2,000 r/min, oil 2,500 r/min, mass about 7540 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. 23124EMKD1 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 23124EMD1.
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. 23124EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 23124EMKD1?
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. 23124EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 23124EMKD1 take?
The sphered outer raceway compensates static and dynamic misalignment in the order of 1–2° (verify the exact 2203E figure for the 23100 series); beyond that, load concentrates on one roller row. Load is predominantly radial with a moderate axial share in either direction — 663 kN C / 820 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
