How the 23130EMKD1 model number is decoded
The NTN order number 23130EMKD1 identifies a 150×250×80 mm (5.906 × 9.843 × 3.15 in) spherical roller bearing, 1:12 tapered bore (K), to the ISO 15 boundary plan. Reading the full code: the number gives the 150×250 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. NTN prints two speeds for 23130EMKD1: 1,600 r/min grease and 2,000 r/min oil — the gap of 400 r/min reflects oil cooling of the heavy roller set. Catalogue mass 15300 g (15.30 kg) for the 150×250×80 mm execution includes the EM machined-brass-cage cage and both roller rows; shaft and housing shoulders must support that ring squarely. 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
- steel-mill and heavy crusher main shafts
- mining shovel and dragline swing shafts
- cement-rotary-kiln support and trunnion rolls
- large SAG/ball-mill trunnion and pinion 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
- rolling-contact fatigue after the catalogue L10 life at the actual load
- water-induced pitting in washdown or outdoor duty without effective external seals
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 150 mm bore 23130EMKD1 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.
- Adapter-sleeve mounting requires the correct sleeve series and locknut for the 150 mm shaft; a sleeve sized to bore alone ignores thread, width and the oil-injection option on large K seats.
- The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 23130EMKD1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 23130EMKD1 carries EM machined-brass-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 150×250 mm envelope is identical.
- Oil relubrication toward 2,000 r/min needs drain and level design; flooding the 80 mm cavity churns heat through the heavy roller set and cage despite the higher oil speed figure.
- The 1060/1350 kN ratings, 65.1 kN Pu and 15300 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 23130EMKD1 (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 23130EMKD1?
23130EMKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 150 mm bore, 250 mm OD and 80 mm width (5.906 × 9.843 × 3.15 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 1060 kN, C0 1350 kN, Pu 65.1 kN, grease limiting speed 1,600 r/min, oil 2,000 r/min, mass about 15300 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. 23130EMKD1 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 23130EMD1.
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. 23130EMKD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 23130EMKD1?
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. 23130EMKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 23130EMKD1 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 — 1060 kN C / 1350 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
