How the 323138UTG model number is decoded
4T-323138UTG is an NTN double-row tapered roller bearing of TDO (back-to-back) construction: two cone assemblies against one double cup, supplied as a preset unit of 190×320×104 mm. Reading the designation: the last two digits 38 are the bore code, ×5 = 190 mm (codes 00–03 use the 10/12/15/17 exception table); the leading digits place the bearing in the heavy-duty 432-family TDO double-row series. The fatigue load limit Cu printed for 4T-323138UTG is 157 kN — the equivalent-load floor below which high reliability is expected even under contamination in the adjusted-life equation. The internal clearance of 4T-323138UTG is set at the factory by the double cup and spacer-less grinding; do not attempt to re-adjust it with shaft nuts — the 104 mm overall width is the finished dimension. With a rotating shaft a m6/n6 seat on the 190 mm journal and a located cup in the housing are typical practice for 4T-323138UTG.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- mine hoist and dragline drum shafts
- cement-plant mill and kiln drive trains
- port-crane hoist and luffing gearboxes
- heavy press and forging-machine drives
Known failure patterns
- edge loading on one row when the housing seats the double cup cocked across its width
- 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
- pressed-steel cage pocket wear from roller skid at light load and high speed
- fretting corrosion on a loose cone seat that creeps under rotating load
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 190 mm bore the 4T-323138UTG unit needs hydraulic or crane-assisted fitting and a verified oil supply; manual methods cannot control seating at the 1260 kN C level.
- The 432 heavy plan gives 4T-323138UTG its 104 mm width and 1260 kN rating at the 190 mm bore; do not downgrade to a 430-family unit of the same bore without re-checking C, C0 and the 157 kN Cu.
- Order by the full 323138UTG code including suffixes — U, X, DX, E1 and UTG variants share the 190 mm bore but are different articles with different internal geometry.
- An unloaded 4T-323138UTG near 900 r/min lets rollers skid; ensure a minimum load or light spring preload on high-speed positions.
- Clamping the double cup with a cocked end cover pinches one row: tighten the 320 mm OD clamping uniformly around the circumference.
- The 1260/1710 kN ratings and 157 kN Cu here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-323138UTG; 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-323138UTG?
4T-323138UTG is a double-row tapered roller bearing of TDO (back-to-back) construction: 190 mm bore, 320 mm outside diameter and 104 mm overall width. From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 1260 kN, C0 1710 kN, Cu 157 kN, grease limiting speed 900 r/min, oil speed 1,300 r/min, mass about 33.2 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 190 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-323138UTG belongs to the heavy-duty 432-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-323138UTG 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 104 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 323138UTG mean?
Suffix reading on 323138UTG: 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-323138UTG list two speeds, 900 and 1,300 r/min?
The lower figure, 900 r/min, is the grease-lubricated limiting speed for the two rows and their cages. With oil lubrication NTN rates 4T-323138UTG at 1,300 r/min because oil removes heat from both roller rows better — the housing feed must reach both rows through the double cup.
