How the 239-850 model number is decoded
239/850 is the basic execution of NTN's spherical roller range for a 850 mm shaft — 6500 kN basic dynamic capacity in a 550000 g, open ISO 15 envelope. The leading digits are the ISO 15 dimension series (23900 series); the bore code resolves to 850 mm (two-digit code ×5, with the 00–03 exception table), and 1120 mm OD / 200 mm width follow the general plan. Two symmetric roller rows share the load: C 6500 kN, C0 15100 kN (C0/C ≈ 2.32), with useful axial capacity in either direction alongside the dominant radial load. Catalogue mass 550000 g (550.00 kg) for the 850×1120×200 mm execution includes the basic cage and both roller rows; shaft and housing shoulders must support that ring squarely. Supply grease through the outer-ring feature during commissioning and at the calculated interval, rotating the 850 mm bore assembly by hand to distribute it across both rows.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large wind-turbine main-shaft arrangements
- steel-mill and heavy crusher main shafts
- mining shovel and dragline swing shafts
- cement-rotary-kiln support and trunnion rolls
Known failure patterns
- raceway spalling at the roller ends when misalignment or deflection concentrates the line contact
- 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
- water-induced pitting in washdown or outdoor duty without effective external seals
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 850 mm bore 239/850 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.
- Oil relubrication toward 290 r/min needs drain and level design; flooding the 200 mm cavity churns heat through the heavy roller set and cage despite the higher oil speed figure.
- Self-aligning does not mean unlimited misalignment: beyond the catalogue angle the outer ring's spherical travel is exhausted and the 6500 kN rating no longer applies.
- Minimum load must be maintained even at rest under vibration: an unloaded 239/850 on a stopped screen false-brinells; parking brakes and shaker isolation both matter.
- Adapter-sleeve mounting requires the correct sleeve series and locknut for the 850 mm shaft; a sleeve sized to bore alone ignores thread, width and the oil-injection option on large K30 seats.
- The 6500/15100 kN ratings, 1080 kN Pu and 550000 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 239/850 (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 239/850?
239/850 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 850 mm bore, 1120 mm OD and 200 mm width (33.465 × 44.094 × 7.874 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 6500 kN, C0 15100 kN, Pu 1080 kN, grease limiting speed 220 r/min, oil 290 r/min, mass about 550000 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?
239/850 has a cylindrical bore and mounts directly on a machined shaft seat. Its tapered-bore counterpart is 239/850K (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. 239/850 is the basic execution.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 239/850?
239/850 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 239/850 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 — 6500 kN C / 15100 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
