How the 432312U model number is decoded
NTN supplies this 60 mm shaft position as 4T-432312U: a factory-adjusted double-row tapered roller bearing whose two roller rows share one double cup, overall width 104 mm. Suffix reading on 432312U: U marks the uprated/reinforced internal design, a separate order number with higher capacity than the basic execution; suffixed variants are separate order numbers and are not interchangeable articles. Selection: C 465 kN against C0 625 kN gives a C0/C ratio of 1.34; the two rows of 4T-432312U share the combined load as one bearing position. TDO construction means the two cone assemblies of 4T-432312U 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 60 mm shaft. Mount 4T-432312U as one article: lift on the double cup, never on a single cone, or the preset alignment of the two rows is disturbed.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- bulk-handling stacker/reclaimer travel drives
- large mixer and agitator shafts
- heavy gearbox and mill drive shafts
- crusher and screening-plant main shafts
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
- Mount the 60 mm unit by induction heating (max 120 °C); at 6.39 kg a cocked lift damages the cages and ribs before the bearing ever runs.
- The 432 heavy plan gives 4T-432312U its 104 mm width and 465 kN rating at the 60 mm bore; do not downgrade to a 430-family unit of the same bore without re-checking C, C0 and the 76.5 kN Cu.
- Grease packs must leave free volume across the 104 mm width; over-greasing a unit churning near the 3,400 r/min oil-band speed raises temperature and expels the grease.
- Never interchange a TDO double-row unit with two single-row bearings of similar size: the 104 mm width, load spread and clearance logic of 4T-432312U are unit-specific.
- Order by the full 432312U code including suffixes — U, X, DX, E1 and UTG variants share the 60 mm bore but are different articles with different internal geometry.
- The 465/625 kN ratings and 76.5 kN Cu here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-432312U; 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-432312U?
4T-432312U is a double-row tapered roller bearing of TDO (back-to-back) construction: 60 mm bore, 130 mm outside diameter and 104 mm overall width. From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 465 kN, C0 625 kN, Cu 76.5 kN, grease limiting speed 2,500 r/min, oil speed 3,400 r/min, mass about 6.39 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 60 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-432312U 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-432312U 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 432312U mean?
Suffix reading on 432312U: U marks the uprated/reinforced internal design, a separate order number with higher capacity than the basic execution; suffixed variants are separate order numbers and are not interchangeable articles.
Why does 4T-432312U list two speeds, 2,500 and 3,400 r/min?
The lower figure, 2,500 r/min, is the grease-lubricated limiting speed for the two rows and their cages. With oil lubrication NTN rates 4T-432312U at 3,400 r/min because oil removes heat from both roller rows better — the housing feed must reach both rows through the double cup.
