How the 30322U model number is decoded
For a 110 mm shaft with a thrust component, NTN lists 30322U, a metric 4T tapered roller bearing of 530 kN C and 585 kN C0 inside the 240 mm OD, 54.5 mm-wide assembled set. The last two digits 22 are the ISO bore code, ×5 = 110 mm (codes 00–03 use the 10/12/15/17 exception table) under the ISO 355 numbering; the 54.5 mm value printed here is T, the width of the fully assembled cone-plus-cup set, not the inner-ring width alone. The 65.0 mm radial section carries the roller complement across the 110–240 mm envelope; section and contact angle differ between NTN metric families even at the same bore, so 302/322/323 are not drop-in swaps. The fatigue load limit Pu printed for 30322U is 60 kN; in the adjusted-life equation that is the equivalent-load floor below which high reliability is expected even under contamination. When pairing 30322U with a second tapered bearing, keep the matched arrangement clean: a single stray grit particle between cup and housing changes preload faster than the adjustment range can correct.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- paper-machine press-section rolls
- large agricultural and forestry machine axles
- heavy industrial gearboxes and crane travel drives
- rolling-mill auxiliary and pinion-stand shafts
Known failure patterns
- cone-raceway spalling at the large rib when preload is set too high for the lubricant film
- preload loss from racewear when one bearing of the paired set is replaced without re-adjusting end play
- rib scoring when axial load is carried beyond the cone rib capacity of the adjusted pair
- cage damage from a mounting blow delivered through the roller complement instead of the ring face
- rolling-contact fatigue after the catalogue L10 life at the actual combined load
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount the 110 mm cone by induction heating (max 120 °C) and the cup with a press sleeve; the 11100 g ring mass makes cocking during fitting a direct raceway-brinelling risk.
- The steeper contact angle of the large-OD 30300 family with the steeper contact angle raises axial capacity but lowers the speed ceiling against a 302/322 bearing at 110 mm bore; do not swap to the lighter family without re-checking the 1,600 r/min grease limit and the thrust load split.
- ISO 355 makes the 110×240 mm envelope interchangeable but not the ratings: NTN prints 530/585 kN for this execution, and a cheaper same-number part can differ in roller complement and steel.
- Back-to-back and face-to-face arrangements react differently to shaft bending: pick the pair orientation for the moment load before locking the 110 mm shoulder geometry, because retrofitting flips the cups.
- The U/UTG/X/C/CA/D suffix variants of a base number share the bore but not the article: ordering 30322U by size alone can deliver the wrong contact-angle execution for a pinion position.
- The 530/585 kN ratings and 60 kN Pu here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 30322U (ISO 355 2GB); internal geometry legitimately differs between manufacturers, so re-verify ratings, adjustment and suffix before substituting another make on a rated drive.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue ratings of NTN 30322U?
30322U is a metric 4T tapered roller bearing to ISO 355: 110 mm bore, 240 mm outside diameter and 54.5 mm assembled width T (4.331 × 9.449 × 2.146 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 530 kN, C0 585 kN, Pu 60 kN, grease limiting speed 1,600 r/min, oil speed 2,200 r/min, mass about 11100 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup bearing with a pressed-steel cage.
What does the 4T prefix mean on 30322U?
4T is NTN's tapered roller bearing brand mark, stamped on the cone and cup in the factory. It identifies the NTN 4T programme and is not a dimension, so the catalogue and this page list the bare ISO 355 number (30322U); the lower-case 4t- factory spelling of the code is retained among the search aliases.
How does the 30322U designation encode the 110 mm bore and what is 2GB?
last two digits 22 are the ISO bore code, ×5 = 110 mm (codes 00–03 use the 10/12/15/17 exception table). The 240 mm OD and 54.5 mm assembled T follow the ISO 355 dimension-series plan. 2GB is the maker-neutral ISO 355 abbreviation for this dimension series (the same code other manufacturers print); 4T is NTN's own brand mark.
Why does 30322U list two speeds, 1,600 and 2,200 r/min?
The lower figure, 1,600 r/min, is the grease-lubricated limiting speed — the mechanical ceiling for the cage, rollers and cone-rib contact. With oil lubrication NTN rates 30322U at 2,200 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on preload, oil flow and cooling.
What does the suffix on 30322U mean?
Suffix reading on 30322U: U marks the reinforced/uprated internal design of the bare number, a separate order number with higher load capacity than the basic execution; the suffix is part of the order number and the variants are not interchangeable articles.
