How the 24072EMD1 model number is decoded
24072EMD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution of NTN's spherical roller range for a 360 mm shaft — 4040 kN basic dynamic capacity in a 147000 g, open ISO 15 envelope. On the NTN nameplate the suffix cluster after the size reads in order: cage design (EM), bore (cylindrical), lubrication feature (D1); 24072EMD1 is assembled exactly in that order. The D1 outer-ring annular oil groove with holes makes relubrication part of the design: fresh grease reaches the rolling elements through the outer-ring feature rather than relying solely on end-side packing. 360 mm bore is 14.173 in and 540 mm OD is 21.26 in; the ISO 15 envelope swaps between brands, but the 4040/6840 kN ratings and cage design are NTN 2203E values. Never mount 24072EMD1 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 540 mm race.
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
- 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
- micro-pitting when the EHL film is thinner than the raceway composite roughness
- fretting corrosion between adapter sleeve and tapered bore when the drive-up is insufficient
- fretting corrosion between adapter sleeve and tapered bore when the drive-up is insufficient
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 360 mm bore 24072EMD1 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.
- Never substitute 24072EMD1 by envelope alone: the 6840 kN C0 and 220 kN Pu are specific to the NTN EM machined-brass-cage execution, and vibrating duty depends heavily on cage identity.
- Minimum load must be maintained even at rest under vibration: an unloaded 24072EMD1 on a stopped screen false-brinells; parking brakes and shaker isolation both matter.
- Minimum load must be maintained even at rest under vibration: an unloaded 24072EMD1 on a stopped screen false-brinells; parking brakes and shaker isolation both matter.
- 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 360 mm bearing, and drive-up procedures differ.
- The 4040/6840 kN ratings, 220 kN Pu and 147000 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 24072EMD1 (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 24072EMD1?
24072EMD1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 360 mm bore, 540 mm OD and 180 mm width (14.173 × 21.26 × 7.087 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 4040 kN, C0 6840 kN, Pu 220 kN, grease limiting speed 640 r/min, oil 820 r/min, mass about 147000 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?
24072EMD1 has a cylindrical bore and mounts directly on a machined shaft seat. Its tapered-bore counterpart is 24072EMK30D1 (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. 24072EMD1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 24072EMD1?
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. 24072EMD1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 24072EMD1 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 — 4040 kN C / 6840 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
