How the 05062-05185 model number is decoded
In NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E, the order number 4T-05062/05185 denotes the pure-numeric inch family of NTN inch tapered roller bearings — cone 05062 and cup 05185 delivered as a matched, separable pair of 15.875 mm bore and 47 mm outside diameter. Letter prefixes inherited from the inch convention mark the load family: LM reads as light-medium, HM as heavy-medium, LL as extra-light, J-prefixed codes as metric-envelope families — 05062 sits in the pure-numeric inch family. The 15.6 mm radial section over the 15.875 mm bore positions the contact line of the pair; abutment shoulders and spacers are dimensioned from that geometry, not from the bore alone. Housing fitment sequence for 4T-05062/05185: press the 05185 cup square into the 47 mm seat first, then bring the 05062 cone (on its 15.875 mm shaft) into adjustment — the two references are separate engineering parts that happen to ship as one set. After bedding-in, re-check the end play of the adjusted 4T-05062/05185 pair — initial seating of the ring faces relaxes the setting slightly.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- conveyor roller and pulley shafts in inch-frame machinery
- utility-vehicle differential and pinion supports
- small machine-tool feed and spindle counter-supports
- light trailer and boat-trailer wheel hubs
Known failure patterns
- cone-rib and roller large-end smearing when the adjusted pair runs with preload but starved lubricant film
- false brinelling on a stationary pair exposed to vibration during transport or standby
- preload loss and noise after one bearing of the adjusted pair is replaced without resetting end play
- cage damage from a mounting blow transmitted through the roller complement
- fretting corrosion on a loose cone seat that creeps under rotating load
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 15.875 mm (0.625 in) bore the thin cone and cup distort under an over-tight shaft nut; set the 4T-05062/05185 pair with a dial indicator on end play rather than by locknut feel.
- The pure-numeric inch family at 15.875 mm bore (47×14.381 mm assembled) is one of several inch families sharing similar bores; cross-series swaps change OD, T and contact angle, so match the full 05062/05185 reference at purchase.
- Fit selection follows the rotating ring: a rotating cone on a 15.875 mm shaft takes a j5/k5 seat, and a rotating cup reverses the logic — decide from the load diagram, not from habit.
- ABMA makes the 15.875×47 mm envelope interchangeable, not the ratings: NTN prints 26.6/24.2 kN for this execution and another make of the same number can differ in roller complement.
- An unloaded 4T-05062/05185 near 8,600 r/min lets rollers skid and smear the cone rib; spring-preload lightly loaded high-speed pairs.
- The 26.6/24.2 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-05062/05185; internal geometry legitimately differs between inch-series makers, so re-verify ratings, adjustment and the exact cone/cup references before substituting another brand on a rated drive.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue ratings of NTN 4T-05062/05185?
4T-05062/05185 is an inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing to the ABMA boundary plan: 15.875 mm bore (0.625 in), 47 mm outside diameter and 14.381 mm assembled width T (1.85 × 0.566 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 26.6 kN, C0 24.2 kN, grease limiting speed 8,600 r/min, oil speed 11,000 r/min, mass about 131 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup set with a pressed-steel cage.
Are the cone and cup of 4T-05062/05185 interchangeable separately?
Yes — ABMA inch parts are individually interchangeable: the 05062 cone or the 05185 cup can be replaced by an identical reference from NTN or another ABMA-dimensioned maker. Pairing the cone with a different cup reference is a different catalogue row: OD, assembled T and the 26.6/24.2 kN ratings change with the cup.
What is the difference between 4T-05062/05185 and a metric ISO 355 tapered bearing?
4T-05062/05185 follows the ABMA inch boundary plan with cone/cup references; ISO 355 bearings use metric dimension-series numbers (302, 322, …). Even where a metric size looks close to 15.875×47×14.381 mm, the envelopes and contact angles differ — the two systems are not drop-in interchangeable; check every boundary value before substituting.
What does the 4T prefix on 4T-05062/05185 mean?
4T is NTN's tapered roller bearing quality mark, stamped on cone and cup in the factory. It identifies NTN's 4T programme and is not a dimension or variant code, so interchange lists quote the bare 05062/05185 references; the 4T spelling is retained among this page's search aliases.
Why does 4T-05062/05185 list two speeds, 8,600 and 11,000 r/min?
The lower figure, 8,600 r/min, is the grease-lubricated limiting speed — the mechanical ceiling for the cage, rollers and cone-rib contact. With oil lubrication NTN rates 4T-05062/05185 at 11,000 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on pair adjustment, oil flow and cooling.
