How the 239-1250 model number is decoded
239/1250 belongs to the 23900 series of NTN spherical rollers: self-aligning, high radial capacity, moderate axial load in either direction. Numbering ties 239/1250 to its envelope and execution: same-number EA versus EM or plain variants share the 1250 mm bore but differ in cage and sometimes mass, so they are quoted as separate articles. Open by design, 239/1250 requires application seals and a grease or oil system; NTN vibrating-duty executions of this envelope are selected with cage and clearance choices that are separate order codes. Selection: the C0/C ratio of 2.50 (33500/13400 kN) reflects the heavy static and shock proportioning of 239/1250; size the equivalent load at the required L10 with shock factor for the application. Supply grease through the outer-ring feature during commissioning and at the calculated interval, rotating the 1250 mm bore assembly by hand to distribute it across both rows.
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
- raceway spalling at the roller ends when misalignment or deflection concentrates the line contact
- 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
- rolling-contact fatigue after the catalogue L10 life at the actual load
- hard-particle indentation through the open arrangement in dusty mining duty
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 1250 mm bore 239/1250 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.
- Minimum load must be maintained even at rest under vibration: an unloaded 239/1250 on a stopped screen false-brinells; parking brakes and shaker isolation both matter.
- The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a grooved 239/1250 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- The cylindrical-bore 239/1250 and its tapered-bore counterpart 239/1250K share envelope and ratings but not mounting: do not order the K variant unless the drawing specifies a sleeve or tapered seat.
- Self-aligning does not mean unlimited misalignment: beyond the catalogue angle the outer ring's spherical travel is exhausted and the 13400 kN rating no longer applies.
- The 13400/33500 kN ratings, 1810 kN Pu and 1600000 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 239/1250 (basic); 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 239/1250?
239/1250 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 1250 mm bore, 1630 mm OD and 280 mm width (49.213 × 64.173 × 11.024 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 13400 kN, C0 33500 kN, Pu 1810 kN, grease limiting speed 120 r/min, oil 160 r/min, mass about 1600000 g. It is open, with pressed-steel cage (standard execution).
What is the difference between the K/K30 tapered bore and the cylindrical bore versions?
239/1250 has a cylindrical bore and mounts directly on a machined shaft seat. Its tapered-bore counterpart is 239/1250K (K = 1:12, or K30 = 1:30 on the wide series), intended for adapter/withdrawal-sleeve mounting.
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. 239/1250 is the basic execution.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 239/1250?
239/1250 is listed without a D1/W33 outer-ring groove in 2203E; lubrication is supplied from the ring sides. D1 (NTN spelling) and W33 add the annular groove plus holes and are ordered as distinct suffixed executions of the same envelope.
How much misalignment and axial load can 239/1250 take?
The sphered outer raceway compensates static and dynamic misalignment in the order of 1–2° (verify the exact 2203E figure for the 23900 series); beyond that, load concentrates on one roller row. Load is predominantly radial with a moderate axial share in either direction — 13400 kN C / 33500 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
