How the 432224XU model number is decoded
4T-432224XU 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 120×215×132 mm. Unlike a pair of single-row bearings, the TDO unit of 4T-432224XU integrates both rows in one article: the 132 mm overall width and the internal clearance are ground and set by NTN, so there is no field adjustment dimension. The fatigue load limit Cu printed for 4T-432224XU is 143 kN — the equivalent-load floor below which high reliability is expected even under contamination in the adjusted-life equation. TDO construction means the two cone assemblies of 4T-432224XU 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 120 mm shaft. Axial clamping of the double cup must be uniform around the 215 mm OD; a cocked end cover pinches one row and destroys the factory clearance setting.
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 fatigue after continuous running near the grease limiting speed without oil cooling
- false brinelling on a stored or standby unit exposed to vibration
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 120 mm bore the 4T-432224XU unit needs hydraulic or crane-assisted fitting and a verified oil supply; manual methods cannot control seating at the 875 kN C level.
- The 432 heavy plan gives 4T-432224XU its 132 mm width and 875 kN rating at the 120 mm bore; do not downgrade to a 430-family unit of the same bore without re-checking C, C0 and the 143 kN Cu.
- Never interchange a TDO double-row unit with two single-row bearings of similar size: the 132 mm width, load spread and clearance logic of 4T-432224XU are unit-specific.
- An unloaded 4T-432224XU near 1,400 r/min lets rollers skid; ensure a minimum load or light spring preload on high-speed positions.
- Grease packs must leave free volume across the 132 mm width; over-greasing a unit churning near the 1,900 r/min oil-band speed raises temperature and expels the grease.
- The 875/1360 kN ratings and 143 kN Cu here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-432224XU; 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-432224XU?
4T-432224XU is a double-row tapered roller bearing of TDO (back-to-back) construction: 120 mm bore, 215 mm outside diameter and 132 mm overall width. From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 875 kN, C0 1360 kN, Cu 143 kN, grease limiting speed 1,400 r/min, oil speed 1,900 r/min, mass about 19.2 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 120 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-432224XU 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-432224XU 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 132 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 432224XU mean?
Suffix reading on 432224XU: U marks the uprated/reinforced internal design, a separate order number with higher capacity than the basic execution; 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-432224XU list two speeds, 1,400 and 1,900 r/min?
The lower figure, 1,400 r/min, is the grease-lubricated limiting speed for the two rows and their cages. With oil lubrication NTN rates 4T-432224XU at 1,900 r/min because oil removes heat from both roller rows better — the housing feed must reach both rows through the double cup.
