How the 432315U model number is decoded
The NTN 2203E double-row table prints 4T-432315U at 75 mm bore, 160 mm OD and 125 mm overall width, with a grease limiting speed of 2,000 r/min and an oil ceiling of 2,700 r/min. Large sizes continue the plans under different leading digits: 4130/4131 and 4230/4231 belong to the 430-family dimension plan, while 3230/3231 continue the 432 heavy plan — 432315U reads accordingly. The 42.5 mm radial section over the 75 mm bore carries two roller rows across the 125 mm width; abutment shoulders must clear both cone bores and the double-cup OD. TDO construction means the two cone assemblies of 4T-432315U 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 75 mm shaft. Fillet radii and shoulder heights must follow the 2203E mounting table for 4T-432315U; the double cup must seat square across its full 125 mm width.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- crusher and screening-plant main shafts
- large fan and blower shafts with thrust reversal
- steel-plant roller table and conveyor drives
- marine winch and deck-machinery shafts
Known failure patterns
- roller large-end smearing against the cone ribs when one row of the unit runs starved of lubricant
- brinelling of both rows from a mounting blow transmitted through the roller complements
- preload loss and hammering noise when the cup clamping loosens and the unit gains axial float
- 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 75 mm unit by induction heating (max 120 °C); at 11.5 kg a cocked lift damages the cages and ribs before the bearing ever runs.
- The 432 heavy plan gives 4T-432315U its 125 mm width and 675 kN rating at the 75 mm bore; do not downgrade to a 430-family unit of the same bore without re-checking C, C0 and the 109 kN Cu.
- Order by the full 432315U code including suffixes — U, X, DX, E1 and UTG variants share the 75 mm bore but are different articles with different internal geometry.
- Grease packs must leave free volume across the 125 mm width; over-greasing a unit churning near the 2,700 r/min oil-band speed raises temperature and expels the grease.
- Grease packs must leave free volume across the 125 mm width; over-greasing a unit churning near the 2,700 r/min oil-band speed raises temperature and expels the grease.
- The 675/935 kN ratings and 109 kN Cu here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-432315U; 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-432315U?
4T-432315U is a double-row tapered roller bearing of TDO (back-to-back) construction: 75 mm bore, 160 mm outside diameter and 125 mm overall width. From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 675 kN, C0 935 kN, Cu 109 kN, grease limiting speed 2,000 r/min, oil speed 2,700 r/min, mass about 11.5 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 75 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-432315U 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-432315U 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 125 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 432315U mean?
Suffix reading on 432315U: 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-432315U list two speeds, 2,000 and 2,700 r/min?
The lower figure, 2,000 r/min, is the grease-lubricated limiting speed for the two rows and their cages. With oil lubrication NTN rates 4T-432315U at 2,700 r/min because oil removes heat from both roller rows better — the housing feed must reach both rows through the double cup.
