How the 32056XUUTG model number is decoded
32056XUUTG is a metric single-row tapered roller bearing in the NTN 4T programme: a pressed-steel cage guides profiled rollers between a separable cone and cup on the 280×420 mm ISO 355 envelope, with 87 mm overall assembled width T. The last two digits 56 are the ISO bore code, ×5 = 280 mm (codes 00–03 use the 10/12/15/17 exception table) under the ISO 355 numbering; the 87 mm value printed here is T, the width of the fully assembled cone-plus-cup set, not the inner-ring width alone. The printed contact-angle geometry gives the low-section 32000 family tuned for low friction its characteristic load split — at 1570/2350 kN (C/C0) the static rating is about 1.50× C, typical of tapered bearings proportioned for heavy combined duty. The 5.6 kN-per-mm-bore capacity figure for 32056XUUTG summarises the 1570 kN rating over 280 mm bore; use it to sanity-check an interchange candidate before swapping brands. When pairing 32056XUUTG 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
- rolling-mill roll-neck and gearbox positions
- large crusher and SAG/AG-mill drive shafts
- wind-turbine gearbox and main-shaft arrangements
- offshore crane and drawworks drums
Known failure patterns
- cup creep and housing fretting when the specified outer-ring press fit is not achieved
- smearing on the roller large ends and cone rib after a dry start with preload but no oil film
- flaking on one cone only when a back-to-back / face-to-face pair is loaded unevenly by a bent shaft
- cage damage from a mounting blow delivered through the roller complement instead of the ring face
- indentation of the raceways by hard particles in unsealed open arrangements
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 280 mm bore the 32056XUUTG set is adjusted with hydraulic nuts on large mill and wind positions; follow the drive-up angle/end-play procedure, because manual torque methods cannot control preload at the 1570 kN C level.
- The thin 87 mm section of 32056XUUTG is built for low friction and tight envelopes, not the heavy preload of a 322/323 set; over-tightening adjustment on this 280 mm bore smears the roller ends against the rib.
- Back-to-back and face-to-face arrangements react differently to shaft bending: pick the pair orientation for the moment load before locking the 280 mm shoulder geometry, because retrofitting flips the cups.
- Minimum load matters at high speed: an unloaded 32056XUUTG at a large fraction of 740 r/min lets rollers skid and smear the cone rib; spring-preload lightly loaded pair arrangements.
- Minimum load matters at high speed: an unloaded 32056XUUTG at a large fraction of 740 r/min lets rollers skid and smear the cone rib; spring-preload lightly loaded pair arrangements.
- The 1570/2350 kN ratings and 197 kN Pu here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 32056XUUTG (ISO 355 4FC); 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 32056XUUTG?
32056XUUTG is a metric 4T tapered roller bearing to ISO 355: 280 mm bore, 420 mm outside diameter and 87 mm assembled width T (11.024 × 16.535 × 3.425 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 1570 kN, C0 2350 kN, Pu 197 kN, grease limiting speed 740 r/min, oil speed 1,000 r/min, mass about 40500 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup bearing with a pressed-steel cage.
What does the 4T prefix mean on 32056XUUTG?
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 (32056XUUTG); the lower-case 4t- factory spelling of the code is retained among the search aliases.
How does the 32056XUUTG designation encode the 280 mm bore and what is 4FC?
last two digits 56 are the ISO bore code, ×5 = 280 mm (codes 00–03 use the 10/12/15/17 exception table). The 420 mm OD and 87 mm assembled T follow the ISO 355 dimension-series plan. 4FC 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 32056XUUTG list two speeds, 740 and 1,000 r/min?
The lower figure, 740 r/min, is the grease-lubricated limiting speed — the mechanical ceiling for the cage, rollers and cone-rib contact. With oil lubrication NTN rates 32056XUUTG at 1,000 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on preload, oil flow and cooling.
What does the suffix on 32056XUUTG mean?
Suffix reading on 32056XUUTG: the XUUTG suffix marks the ULTAGE specification for large NTN tapered rollers — upgraded material and internal design for longer life inside the unchanged ISO 355 envelope; XU combines the X ISO boundary section with the U uprated internal design; the suffix is part of the order number and the variants are not interchangeable articles.
