How the 23136EAKD1 model number is decoded

23136EAKD1 belongs to the 23100 series of NTN spherical rollers and carries the * ULTAGE new-generation mark in the 2203E table: self-aligning, high radial capacity, moderate axial load in either direction. The leading digits are the ISO 15 dimension series (23100 series); the bore code resolves to 180 mm (two-digit code ×5, with the 00–03 exception table), and 300 mm OD / 96 mm width follow the general plan. Two symmetric roller rows share the load: C 1490 kN, C0 1960 kN (C0/C ≈ 1.32), with useful axial capacity in either direction alongside the dominant radial load. The 60.0 mm section height hosts the spherical roller geometry; shaft and housing fillet radii must clear the chamfer table so the 96 mm-wide ring seats fully on both sides. Fillet radii on shaft and housing must clear the ring chamfers of the 96 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
  • 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
  • fretting corrosion between adapter sleeve and tapered bore when the drive-up is insufficient
  • asymmetric wear on the two roller rows from sustained angular misalignment beyond the self-aligning range

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • At 180 mm bore 23136EAKD1 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.
  • Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 23136EAKD1 carries EA pressed-steel-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 180×300 mm envelope is identical.
  • Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 23136EAKD1 carries EA pressed-steel-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 180×300 mm envelope is identical.
  • The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 23136EAKD1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
  • Adapter-sleeve mounting requires the correct sleeve series and locknut for the 180 mm shaft; a sleeve sized to bore alone ignores thread, width and the oil-injection option on large K seats.
  • The 1490/1960 kN ratings, 88.7 kN Pu and 26400 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 23136EAKD1 (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 23136EAKD1?

23136EAKD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 180 mm bore, 300 mm OD and 96 mm width (7.087 × 11.811 × 3.78 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 1490 kN, C0 1960 kN, Pu 88.7 kN, grease limiting speed 1,300 r/min, oil 1,700 r/min, mass about 26400 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. 23136EAKD1 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 23136EAD1.

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. 23136EAKD1 is the EA pressed-steel-cage execution, listed with the * ULTAGE new-generation mark.

What do D1 and W33 mean on 23136EAKD1?

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. 23136EAKD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.

How much misalignment and axial load can 23136EAKD1 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 — 1490 kN C / 1960 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
