How the 336-332 model number is decoded
In NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E, the order number 4T-336/332 denotes the pure-numeric inch family of NTN inch tapered roller bearings — cone 336 and cup 332 delivered as a matched, separable pair of 41.275 mm bore and 80 mm outside diameter. Unlike ISO 355 metric numbers, this ABMA code does not encode the bore arithmetically: 336 identifies the cone of 41.275 mm (1.625 in) bore by catalogue lookup, and 332 fixes the 80 mm OD. Grease relubrication at the 4,700 r/min limiting speed targets the cone-rib contact; sustaining 6,300 r/min needs an oil supply directed at the large roller ends. Housing fitment sequence for 4T-336/332: press the 332 cup square into the 80 mm seat first, then bring the 336 cone (on its 41.275 mm shaft) into adjustment — the two references are separate engineering parts that happen to ship as one set. The rollers run with their large ends against the cone's guide rib; lubricant must reach that rib face of 4T-336/332, not only the raceway, or the pair smears on the first overloaded start.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- agricultural tractor transmission and PTO shafts
- industrial gearboxes built to inch shafting
- construction-equipment pivot and wheel positions
- mining and quarry conveyor drive pulleys
Known failure patterns
- rib-face scoring when the thrust share of the combined load exceeds what the cone rib of this size carries
- 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 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
- Hub and pinion positions of this 41.275 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-336/332.
- The pure-numeric inch family at 41.275 mm bore (80×21 mm assembled) is one of several inch families sharing similar bores; cross-series swaps change OD, T and contact angle, so match the full 336/332 reference at purchase.
- Shaft and housing fillets must clear the ring chamfers of 336 and 332; use undercut shoulders so the rings seat on the face, not on a radius.
- Open 4T-336/332 sets have no seals: a hub or gearbox needs external sealing or the 4,700 r/min grease figure is meaningless once water reaches the cone rib.
- Do not confuse T (21 mm, the assembled cone-plus-cup width) with the cone width when drawing spacers; an abutment sized to T leaves the cup unseated.
- The 75.5/75 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-336/332; 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-336/332?
4T-336/332 is an inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing to the ABMA boundary plan: 41.275 mm bore (1.625 in), 80 mm outside diameter and 21 mm assembled width T (3.15 × 0.827 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 75.5 kN, C0 75 kN, grease limiting speed 4,700 r/min, oil speed 6,300 r/min, mass about 468 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup set with a pressed-steel cage.
Are the cone and cup of 4T-336/332 interchangeable separately?
Yes — ABMA inch parts are individually interchangeable: the 336 cone or the 332 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 75.5/75 kN ratings change with the cup.
What is the difference between 4T-336/332 and a metric ISO 355 tapered bearing?
4T-336/332 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 41.275×80×21 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-336/332 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 336/332 references; the 4T spelling is retained among this page's search aliases.
Why does 4T-336/332 list two speeds, 4,700 and 6,300 r/min?
The lower figure, 4,700 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-336/332 at 6,300 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on pair adjustment, oil flow and cooling.
