How the 28158-28300 model number is decoded
NTN supplies this 1.575 in (40 mm) shaft position as 4T-28158/28300: cone 28158, cup 28300, profiled rollers and a pressed-steel cage, rated 61.5 kN basic dynamic and 63 kN static. 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 — 28158 sits in the pure-numeric inch family. Catalogue mass of the 4T-28158/28300 cone-plus-cup set is 387 g; shaft and housing shoulders must carry that mass square to the axis during fitting. Housing fitment sequence for 4T-28158/28300: press the 28300 cup square into the 76.2 mm seat first, then bring the 28158 cone (on its 40 mm shaft) into adjustment — the two references are separate engineering parts that happen to ship as one set. A single-row tapered bearing reacts thrust in one direction only; 4T-28158/28300 is adjusted against a second bearing so the shaft is located in both directions.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- truck and trailer axle hubs on inch-dimensioned axles
- agricultural tractor transmission and PTO shafts
- industrial gearboxes built to inch shafting
- construction-equipment pivot and wheel positions
Known failure patterns
- cone-rib and roller large-end smearing when the adjusted pair runs with preload but starved lubricant film
- cup creep and housing fretting when the cup seat is cut too loose for the rotating load
- flaking on one cone only when a bent shaft loads the O/X pair unevenly
- cage fatigue when the pair runs continuously near the grease limiting speed without oil cooling
- fretting corrosion on a loose cone seat that creeps under rotating load
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Hub and pinion positions of this 40 mm class are adjusted in pairs; verify end play against the axle or gearbox drawing and re-torque after bedding-in instead of trusting the first setting on 4T-28158/28300.
- The pure-numeric inch family at 40 mm bore (76.2×20.638 mm assembled) is one of several inch families sharing similar bores; cross-series swaps change OD, T and contact angle, so match the full 28158/28300 reference at purchase.
- Fit selection follows the rotating ring: a rotating cone on a 40 mm shaft takes a k5/m5 seat, and a rotating cup reverses the logic — decide from the load diagram, not from habit.
- Fit selection follows the rotating ring: a rotating cone on a 40 mm shaft takes a k5/m5 seat, and a rotating cup reverses the logic — decide from the load diagram, not from habit.
- Grease packs must leave free volume inside the 20.638 mm-wide set; over-greasing a pair churning near the oil-band speed of 6,700 r/min raises temperature and destroys the setting.
- The 61.5/63 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-28158/28300; 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-28158/28300?
4T-28158/28300 is an inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing to the ABMA boundary plan: 40 mm bore (1.575 in), 76.2 mm outside diameter and 20.638 mm assembled width T (3 × 0.813 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 61.5 kN, C0 63 kN, grease limiting speed 5,000 r/min, oil speed 6,700 r/min, mass about 387 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup set with a pressed-steel cage.
Are the cone and cup of 4T-28158/28300 interchangeable separately?
Yes — ABMA inch parts are individually interchangeable: the 28158 cone or the 28300 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 61.5/63 kN ratings change with the cup.
What is the difference between 4T-28158/28300 and a metric ISO 355 tapered bearing?
4T-28158/28300 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 40×76.2×20.638 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-28158/28300 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 28158/28300 references; the 4T spelling is retained among this page's search aliases.
Why does 4T-28158/28300 list two speeds, 5,000 and 6,700 r/min?
The lower figure, 5,000 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-28158/28300 at 6,700 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on pair adjustment, oil flow and cooling.
