How the 24038EMD1 model number is decoded
The NTN order number 24038EMD1 identifies a 190×290×100 mm (7.48 × 11.417 × 3.937 in) spherical roller bearing, cylindrical bore, to the ISO 15 boundary plan. The leading digits are the ISO 15 dimension series (24000 series); the bore code resolves to 190 mm (two-digit code ×5, with the 00–03 exception table), and 290 mm OD / 100 mm width follow the general plan. The cylindrical bore fits a machined 190 mm shaft seat directly; the same envelope in 24038EMK30D1 (tapered) is the sleeve-mounted alternative when clearance must be set by drive-up. Catalogue mass 23800 g (23.80 kg) for the 190×290×100 mm execution includes the EM machined-brass-cage cage and both roller rows; shaft and housing shoulders must support that ring squarely. Fit the cylindrical-bore 24038EMD1 with the inner ring heated (max 120 °C) for the shaft interference; the outer ring slides into the housing with its spherical seat able to pivot after seating.
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
- 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
- micro-pitting when the EHL film is thinner than the raceway composite roughness
- brinelling from static overload or a hammer blow during sleeve mounting
- fretting corrosion between adapter sleeve and tapered bore when the drive-up is insufficient
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 190 mm bore 24038EMD1 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.
- Self-aligning does not mean unlimited misalignment: beyond the catalogue angle the outer ring's spherical travel is exhausted and the 1360 kN rating no longer applies.
- The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 24038EMD1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- Never substitute 24038EMD1 by envelope alone: the 2000 kN C0 and 80.7 kN Pu are specific to the NTN EM machined-brass-cage execution, and vibrating duty depends heavily on cage identity.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 24038EMD1 carries EM machined-brass-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 190×290 mm envelope is identical.
- The 1360/2000 kN ratings, 80.7 kN Pu and 23800 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 24038EMD1 (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 24038EMD1?
24038EMD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 190 mm bore, 290 mm OD and 100 mm width (7.48 × 11.417 × 3.937 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 1360 kN, C0 2000 kN, Pu 80.7 kN, grease limiting speed 1,300 r/min, oil 1,700 r/min, mass about 23800 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?
24038EMD1 has a cylindrical bore and mounts directly on a machined shaft seat. Its tapered-bore counterpart is 24038EMK30D1 (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. 24038EMD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 24038EMD1?
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. 24038EMD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 24038EMD1 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 — 1360 kN C / 2000 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
