How the 240-1000BK30 model number is decoded
240/1000BK30 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing: two rows of symmetric rollers on a sphered outer raceway, 1000×1420×412 mm to ISO 15, with pressed-steel cage (standard execution). The leading digits are the ISO 15 dimension series (24000 series); the bore code resolves to 1000 mm (two-digit code ×5, with the 00–03 exception table), and 1420 mm OD / 412 mm width follow the general plan. Suffix reading on 240/1000BK30: the bare number is the standard open execution; K30 marks the 1:30 tapered bore of the wide series; B marks the standard large-bore internal design on slash-size 230–232 series; quote the full code because each suffix is a distinct article. Catalogue mass 2080000 g (2080.00 kg) for the 1000×1420×412 mm execution includes the basic cage and both roller rows; shaft and housing shoulders must support that ring squarely. After mounting on a tapered seat, lock the nut and re-check clearance after a short running-in period, because sleeve seating and ring lift-off can change the residual clearance of the 1000 mm set.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- mining shovel and dragline swing shafts
- cement-rotary-kiln support and trunnion rolls
- large SAG/ball-mill trunnion and pinion shafts
- heavy vibrating screens and grizzly feeders
Known failure patterns
- raceway spalling at the roller ends when misalignment or deflection concentrates the line contact
- cage damage when a mounting force is applied through the roller set instead of the ring face
- roller-end smearing during skidding starts under light load and high viscosity grease
- water-induced pitting in washdown or outdoor duty without effective external seals
- false brinelling on stopped machines exposed to screen or crusher vibration
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 1000 mm bore 240/1000BK30 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 1:30 tapered bore is the only difference from the cylindrical-bore 240/1000B: envelopes and ratings match, but drive-up tooling, sleeve and seat do not — never mix the two mounting methods.
- Never substitute 240/1000BK30 by envelope alone: the 42000 kN C0 and 1890 kN Pu are specific to the NTN basic execution, and vibrating duty depends heavily on cage identity.
- K and K30 are different tapers — K is 1:12 and K30 is 1:30 on the wide series; an adapter sleeve for one will not mount the other 1000 mm bearing, and drive-up procedures differ.
- The two roller rows must share load equally — a tilted spacer or unequal abutment on the 412 mm-wide ring loads one row only and shows as asymmetric race polish during inspection.
- The 17800/42000 kN ratings, 1890 kN Pu and 2080000 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 240/1000BK30 (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 240/1000BK30?
240/1000BK30 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 1000 mm bore, 1420 mm OD and 412 mm width (39.37 × 55.906 × 16.22 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 17800 kN, C0 42000 kN, Pu 1890 kN, grease limiting speed 150 r/min, oil 190 r/min, mass about 2080000 g. It is open, with pressed-steel cage (standard execution) and a 1:30 tapered bore.
What is the difference between the K/K30 tapered bore and the cylindrical bore versions?
K30 denotes a 1:30 tapered bore (the wide 24000 series). 240/1000BK30 mounts on a matching adapter or withdrawal sleeve on a plain 1000 mm shaft and is driven up to a measured radial clearance; the cylindrical-bore counterpart is 240/1000B.
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. 240/1000BK30 is the basic execution.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 240/1000BK30?
240/1000BK30 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 240/1000BK30 take?
The sphered outer raceway compensates static and dynamic misalignment in the order of 1–2° (verify the exact 2203E figure for the 24000 series); beyond that, load concentrates on one roller row. Load is predominantly radial with a moderate axial share in either direction — 17800 kN C / 42000 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
