How the 432324U model number is decoded
4T-432324U is the NTN 4T catalogue entry for a 120×260×188 mm double-row tapered roller bearing — the TDO arrangement reacts radial load plus thrust in both directions without a second bearing. 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 — 432324U reads accordingly. Catalogue mass of 4T-432324U is 47 kg; lifting and fitting tackle must be rated for the whole preset unit, not for single-ring handling. TDO construction means the two cone assemblies of 4T-432324U 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. Moment loads are reacted by the wide row spread of the TDO unit; if the shaft also carries a floating bearing, keep the float clear of 4T-432324U's locating position.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large shredder and recycler main shafts
- power-plant mill and fan shafts
- rolling-mill roll-neck and pinion-stand positions
- mine hoist and dragline drum shafts
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
- 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
- At 120 mm bore the 4T-432324U unit needs hydraulic or crane-assisted fitting and a verified oil supply; manual methods cannot control seating at the 1550 kN C level.
- The 432 heavy plan gives 4T-432324U its 188 mm width and 1550 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 228 kN Cu.
- An unloaded 4T-432324U near 1,200 r/min lets rollers skid; ensure a minimum load or light spring preload on high-speed positions.
- Order by the full 432324U code including suffixes — U, X, DX, E1 and UTG variants share the 120 mm bore but are different articles with different internal geometry.
- Clamping the double cup with a cocked end cover pinches one row: tighten the 260 mm OD clamping uniformly around the circumference.
- The 1550/2270 kN ratings and 228 kN Cu here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-432324U; 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-432324U?
4T-432324U is a double-row tapered roller bearing of TDO (back-to-back) construction: 120 mm bore, 260 mm outside diameter and 188 mm overall width. From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 1550 kN, C0 2270 kN, Cu 228 kN, grease limiting speed 1,200 r/min, oil speed 1,700 r/min, mass about 47 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-432324U 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-432324U 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 188 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 432324U mean?
Suffix reading on 432324U: 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-432324U list two speeds, 1,200 and 1,700 r/min?
The lower figure, 1,200 r/min, is the grease-lubricated limiting speed for the two rows and their cages. With oil lubrication NTN rates 4T-432324U at 1,700 r/min because oil removes heat from both roller rows better — the housing feed must reach both rows through the double cup.
