How the 423048UTG model number is decoded
4T-423048UTG is the NTN 4T catalogue entry for a 240×360×115 mm double-row tapered roller bearing — the TDO arrangement reacts radial load plus thrust in both directions without a second bearing. The 4T- prefix is NTN's tapered roller quality mark; 430 numbers the light TDO plan and 432 the heavy TDO plan — at the same 240 mm bore the 432 execution carries a wider, heavier section than the 430. Speed planning uses both catalogue columns: grease 730 r/min is the mechanical ceiling, oil 1,000 r/min with oil lubrication — a 270 r/min margin at this size. TDO construction means the two cone assemblies of 4T-423048UTG face away from each other inside one double cup: the load lines diverge outward, giving a wide effective spread and high moment stiffness for the 240 mm shaft. The preset clearance suits the standard temperature range; unusual thermal gradients between shaft and housing call for a clearance review against the 240 mm size before ordering 4T-423048UTG.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- power-plant mill and fan shafts
- rolling-mill roll-neck and pinion-stand positions
- mine hoist and dragline drum shafts
- cement-plant mill and kiln drive trains
Known failure patterns
- edge loading on one row when the housing seats the double cup cocked across its width
- one-row flaking when a bent shaft concentrates the combined load on a single row of the pair
- overheated running after a field attempt to "tighten up" the factory-set internal clearance
- cage damage when the unit is lifted by one cone instead of the double cup during fitting
- water-induced pitting when washdown reaches the open unit without external seals
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 240 mm bore the 4T-423048UTG unit needs hydraulic or crane-assisted fitting and a verified oil supply; manual methods cannot control seating at the 1170 kN C level.
- The 430 light plan keeps 4T-423048UTG narrower and faster than the 432 heavy execution of the same 240 mm bore; where shock or a high thrust share dominates, verify whether the heavier 432-family row is the intended position.
- Lubricant must reach both rows: a housing groove aligned to the cup mid-width of 4T-423048UTG feeds the two roller complements evenly; a single-side feed starves the far row.
- Never interchange a TDO double-row unit with two single-row bearings of similar size: the 115 mm width, load spread and clearance logic of 4T-423048UTG are unit-specific.
- Grease packs must leave free volume across the 115 mm width; over-greasing a unit churning near the 1,000 r/min oil-band speed raises temperature and expels the grease.
- The 1170/1770 kN ratings and 155 kN Cu here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-423048UTG; internal geometry legitimately differs between manufacturers, so re-verify ratings, clearance class and suffix before substituting another make on a rated drive.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue ratings of NTN 4T-423048UTG?
4T-423048UTG is a double-row tapered roller bearing of TDO (back-to-back) construction: 240 mm bore, 360 mm outside diameter and 115 mm overall width. From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 1170 kN, C0 1770 kN, Cu 155 kN, grease limiting speed 730 r/min, oil speed 1,000 r/min, mass about 36.3 kg. It is an open, preset-clearance unit with pressed-steel cages.
What is the difference between the NTN 430 and 432 double-row series at 240 mm bore?
Both are TDO double-row tapered roller units, but 430 is the light plan and 432 the heavy plan: at the same bore the 432 execution is wider and heavier with higher load ratings. 4T-423048UTG belongs to the light-duty 430-family TDO double-row series. Large sizes continue the plans as 4130/4131/4230/4231 (430 family) and 3230/3231 (432 family).
Can the internal clearance of 4T-423048UTG be adjusted at mounting?
No. The TDO unit — two cone assemblies against one double cup — is ground and set by NTN at the factory, and the 115 mm overall width is the finished dimension. Mounting sets no end play: seat the unit square, clamp the cup uniformly and verify free rotation. Field re-adjustment overloads one row.
What do the suffix letters on 423048UTG mean?
Suffix reading on 423048UTG: UTG marks the ULTAGE specification for large NTN tapered rollers — upgraded material and internal design, printed with the ＊ symbol ahead of the order number; suffixed variants are separate order numbers and are not interchangeable articles.
Why does 4T-423048UTG list two speeds, 730 and 1,000 r/min?
The lower figure, 730 r/min, is the grease-lubricated limiting speed for the two rows and their cages. With oil lubrication NTN rates 4T-423048UTG at 1,000 r/min because oil removes heat from both roller rows better — the housing feed must reach both rows through the double cup.
