How the 23932EMD1 model number is decoded
23932EMD1 belongs to the 23900 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 (23900 series); the bore code resolves to 160 mm (two-digit code ×5, with the 00–03 exception table), and 220 mm OD / 45 mm width follow the general plan. Pu 45.6 kN is the catalogue fatigue load limit for 23932EMD1, used in the adjusted-life equation at contaminated or partial-film conditions typical of mining and vibrating duty. The 30.0 mm section height hosts the spherical roller geometry; shaft and housing fillet radii must clear the chamfer table so the 45 mm-wide ring seats fully on both sides. Never mount 23932EMD1 by striking the outer ring through the roller set; drive through ring faces (or the adapter sleeve nut) and support the ring square to avoid brinelling the 220 mm race.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- cement-rotary-kiln support and trunnion rolls
- large SAG/ball-mill trunnion and pinion shafts
- heavy vibrating screens and grizzly feeders
- offshore and marine propulsion shaftlines
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 160 mm bore 23932EMD1 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.
- The cylindrical-bore 23932EMD1 and its tapered-bore counterpart 23932EMKD1 share envelope and ratings but not mounting: do not order the K variant unless the drawing specifies a sleeve or tapered seat.
- The two roller rows must share load equally — a tilted spacer or unequal abutment on the 45 mm-wide ring loads one row only and shows as asymmetric race polish during inspection.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 23932EMD1 carries EM machined-brass-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 160×220 mm envelope is identical.
- The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 23932EMD1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- The 455/683 kN ratings, 45.6 kN Pu and 5090 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 23932EMD1 (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 23932EMD1?
23932EMD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 160 mm bore, 220 mm OD and 45 mm width (6.299 × 8.661 × 1.772 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 455 kN, C0 683 kN, Pu 45.6 kN, grease limiting speed 1,900 r/min, oil 2,400 r/min, mass about 5090 g. It is open, with one-piece machined brass cage (EM high-capacity design).
What is the difference between the K/K30 tapered bore and the cylindrical bore versions?
23932EMD1 has a cylindrical bore and mounts directly on a machined shaft seat. Its tapered-bore counterpart is 23932EMKD1 (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. 23932EMD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 23932EMD1?
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. 23932EMD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 23932EMD1 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 — 455 kN C / 683 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
