How the 430208X model number is decoded
NTN supplies this 40 mm shaft position as 4T-430208X: a factory-adjusted double-row tapered roller bearing whose two roller rows share one double cup, overall width 45 mm. Unlike a pair of single-row bearings, the TDO unit of 4T-430208X integrates both rows in one article: the 45 mm overall width and the internal clearance are ground and set by NTN, so there is no field adjustment dimension. Double-row capacity is not twice a single-row bearing: the printed 116 kN C already accounts for load sharing between the two rows of 4T-430208X, so apply it directly in the L10 calculation. Because the unit is preset, mounting 4T-430208X resembles mounting a double-row spherical or cylindrical bearing: seat the unit, clamp axially to the stated end cover torque, and verify rotation — no end-play measurement is required. Induction heating to max 120 °C is the standard fitting method at this 40 mm bore; driving the unit home through the rollers brinells both rows at once.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- crane travel and hoist drum shafts
- mining conveyor drive and head pulleys
- paper-machine roll and press supports
- extruder and mixer drive shafts
Known failure patterns
- roller large-end smearing against the cone ribs when one row of the unit runs starved of lubricant
- preload loss and hammering noise when the cup clamping loosens and the unit gains axial float
- brinelling of both rows from a mounting blow transmitted through the roller complements
- cage damage when the unit is lifted by one cone instead of the double cup during fitting
- thermal distress when the oil supply sized for one row starves the second row
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Gearbox positions of this 40 mm class rely on the preset clearance of 4T-430208X; shimming or nut-tightening the unit like a single-row pair overruns the factory setting and runs the rows hot.
- The 430 light plan keeps 4T-430208X narrower and faster than the 432 heavy execution of the same 40 mm bore; where shock or a high thrust share dominates, verify whether the heavier 432-family row is the intended position.
- Grease packs must leave free volume across the 45 mm width; over-greasing a unit churning near the 5,500 r/min oil-band speed raises temperature and expels the grease.
- The 116 kN C already includes two-row load sharing — do not double it when pairing the unit with a floating bearing in the L10 calculation.
- The internal clearance of 4T-430208X is factory-set: no end-play adjustment exists at mounting, and any attempt to set preload with a shaft nut overloads one row.
- The 116/134 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-430208X; 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-430208X?
4T-430208X is a double-row tapered roller bearing of TDO (back-to-back) construction: 40 mm bore, 80 mm outside diameter and 45 mm overall width. From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 116 kN, C0 134 kN (2203E prints a dash for Cu on this size), grease limiting speed 4,100 r/min, oil speed 5,500 r/min, mass about 956 g. 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 40 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-430208X 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-430208X 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 45 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 430208X mean?
Suffix reading on 430208X: X marks the boundary-dimension revision of the base number (D and width differ from the plain number of the same bore); suffixed variants are separate order numbers and are not interchangeable articles.
Why does 4T-430208X list two speeds, 4,100 and 5,500 r/min?
The lower figure, 4,100 r/min, is the grease-lubricated limiting speed for the two rows and their cages. With oil lubrication NTN rates 4T-430208X at 5,500 r/min because oil removes heat from both roller rows better — the housing feed must reach both rows through the double cup.
