How the 24164EMK30D1 model number is decoded
The NTN order number 24164EMK30D1 identifies a 320×540×218 mm (12.598 × 21.26 × 8.583 in) spherical roller bearing, 1:30 tapered bore (K30), to the ISO 15 boundary plan. The leading digits are the ISO 15 dimension series (24100 series); the bore code resolves to 320 mm (two-digit code ×5, with the 00–03 exception table), and 540 mm OD / 218 mm width follow the general plan. The 1:30 tapered bore mounts on an adapter/withdrawal sleeve (or tapered seat); drive-up sets the residual radial clearance and fixes the axial position of the 320 mm bore assembly. 320 mm bore is 12.598 in and 540 mm OD is 21.26 in; the ISO 15 envelope swaps between brands, but the 5010/7720 kN ratings and cage design are NTN 2203E values. Fillet radii on shaft and housing must clear the ring chamfers of the 218 mm-wide set; use the NTN shoulder/withdrawal-groove table rather than copying a ball-bearing layout.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- heavy vibrating screens and grizzly feeders
- offshore and marine propulsion shaftlines
- large wind-turbine main-shaft arrangements
- steel-mill and heavy crusher main shafts
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
- micro-pitting when the EHL film is thinner than the raceway composite roughness
- water-induced pitting in washdown or outdoor duty without effective external seals
- fretting corrosion between adapter sleeve and tapered bore when the drive-up is insufficient
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 320 mm bore 24164EMK30D1 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.
- 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 320 mm bearing, and drive-up procedures differ.
- Self-aligning does not mean unlimited misalignment: beyond the catalogue angle the outer ring's spherical travel is exhausted and the 5010 kN rating no longer applies.
- The D1/W33 groove only helps if the housing has a matching grease passage; mounting a D1 24164EMK30D1 in a solid block with no port wastes the feature and leaves the centre rows under-lubricated.
- Do not confuse EA and EM at the same number: 24164EMK30D1 carries EM machined-brass-cage; swapping to the other cage execution changes mass, speed behaviour and sometimes suitability for vibration, even though the 320×540 mm envelope is identical.
- The 5010/7720 kN ratings, 225 kN Pu and 201000 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for 24164EMK30D1 (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 24164EMK30D1?
24164EMK30D1 is an NTN double-row spherical roller bearing to ISO 15: 320 mm bore, 540 mm OD and 218 mm width (12.598 × 21.26 × 8.583 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 5010 kN, C0 7720 kN, Pu 225 kN, grease limiting speed 690 r/min, oil 880 r/min, mass about 201000 g. It is open, with one-piece machined brass cage (EM high-capacity design) 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 24100 series). 24164EMK30D1 mounts on a matching adapter or withdrawal sleeve on a plain 320 mm shaft and is driven up to a measured radial clearance; the cylindrical-bore counterpart is 24164EMD1.
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. 24164EMK30D1 is the EM machined-brass-cage execution, listed with the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation mark.
What do D1 and W33 mean on 24164EMK30D1?
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. 24164EMK30D1 carries D1; W33 is the equivalent industry-spelled annular-groove-and-holes feature seen on other executions.
How much misalignment and axial load can 24164EMK30D1 take?
The sphered outer raceway compensates static and dynamic misalignment in the order of 1–2° (verify the exact 2203E figure for the 24100 series); beyond that, load concentrates on one roller row. Load is predominantly radial with a moderate axial share in either direction — 5010 kN C / 7720 kN C0 — but sustained pure axial load is not recommended because it unloads one row.
