How the 24024EMD1 model number is decoded
The NTN order number 24024EMD1 identifies a 120×180×60 mm (4.724 × 7.087 × 2.362 in) spherical roller bearing, cylindrical bore, to the ISO 15 boundary plan. On the NTN nameplate the suffix cluster after the size reads in order: cage design (EM), bore (cylindrical), lubrication feature (D1); 24024EMD1 is assembled exactly in that order. The bearing accepts predominantly radial load with a moderate axial share, but is not a pure thrust bearing: sustained axial-only load skids the unloaded row and damages the EM machined-brass-cage cage. Equivalent-load planning keeps a radial plus moderate axial combination on 24024EMD1; if the axial component dominates, pair with a thrust bearing rather than running one roller row unloaded. On vibrating-duty shafts verify the radial clearance class and cage choice at order time; the open 24024EMD1 leaves sealing and the C3/C4 clearance decision to the application drawing.
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
- 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
- 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 120 mm bore 24024EMD1 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 24024EMD1 and its tapered-bore counterpart 24024EMK30D1 share envelope and ratings but not mounting: do not order the K variant unless the drawing specifies a sleeve or tapered seat.
- Adapter-sleeve mounting requires the correct sleeve series and locknut for the 120 mm shaft; a sleeve sized to bore alone ignores thread, width and the oil-injection option on large K seats.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 24024EMD1 carries EM machined-brass-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 120×180 mm envelope is identical.
- Never substitute 24024EMD1 by envelope alone: the 726 kN C0 and 34.4 kN Pu are specific to the NTN EM machined-brass-cage execution, and vibrating duty depends heavily on cage identity.
- The 526/726 kN ratings, 34.4 kN Pu and 5280 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 24024EMD1 (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 24024EMD1?
24024EMD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 120 mm bore, 180 mm OD and 60 mm width (4.724 × 7.087 × 2.362 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 526 kN, C0 726 kN, Pu 34.4 kN, grease limiting speed 2,100 r/min, oil 2,600 r/min, mass about 5280 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?
24024EMD1 has a cylindrical bore and mounts directly on a machined shaft seat. Its tapered-bore counterpart is 24024EMK30D1 (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. 24024EMD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 24024EMD1?
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. 24024EMD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 24024EMD1 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 — 526 kN C / 726 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
