How the 3382-3321 model number is decoded
NTN supplies this 1.563 in (39.688 mm) shaft position as 4T-3382/3321: cone 3382, cup 3321, profiled rollers and a pressed-steel cage, rated 105 kN basic dynamic and 112 kN static. Unlike ISO 355 metric numbers, this ABMA code does not encode the bore arithmetically: 3382 identifies the cone of 39.688 mm (1.563 in) bore by catalogue lookup, and 3321 fixes the 77.534 mm OD. Speed planning uses both catalogue columns: grease 4,800 r/min is the mechanical ceiling for 4T-3382/3321, oil 6,400 r/min with circulating oil — a 1,600 r/min margin at this size. The printed 105/112 kN ratings belong to the assembled 3382+3321 pair; a sibling row using the same cone with a different cup carries its own rating row because the raceway track shifts with the cup. After bedding-in, re-check the end play of the adjusted 4T-3382/3321 pair — initial seating of the ring faces relaxes the setting slightly.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- mining and quarry conveyor drive pulleys
- machine-tool headstocks on inch spindles
- pump and blower drive shafts with combined load
- truck and trailer axle hubs on inch-dimensioned axles
Known failure patterns
- cone-rib and roller large-end smearing when the adjusted pair runs with preload but starved lubricant film
- flaking on one cone only when a bent shaft loads the O/X pair unevenly
- cup creep and housing fretting when the cup seat is cut too loose for the rotating load
- pressed-steel cage pocket wear from roller skid at light radial load and high speed
- water-induced pitting when the open bearing sees washdown without external seals
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Hub and pinion positions of this 39.688 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-3382/3321.
- The pure-numeric inch family at 39.688 mm bore (77.534×29.37 mm assembled) is one of several inch families sharing similar bores; cross-series swaps change OD, T and contact angle, so match the full 3382/3321 reference at purchase.
- Grease packs must leave free volume inside the 29.37 mm-wide set; over-greasing a pair churning near the oil-band speed of 6,400 r/min raises temperature and destroys the setting.
- Fit selection follows the rotating ring: a rotating cone on a 39.688 mm shaft takes a k5/m5 seat, and a rotating cup reverses the logic — decide from the load diagram, not from habit.
- Quote the full 3382/3321 pair at ordering: the 3382 cone also ships against sibling cups, and a cup from another reference changes the 29.37 mm assembled width and the rating.
- The 105/112 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-3382/3321; 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-3382/3321?
4T-3382/3321 is an inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing to the ABMA boundary plan: 39.688 mm bore (1.563 in), 77.534 mm outside diameter and 29.37 mm assembled width T (3.053 × 1.156 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 105 kN, C0 112 kN, grease limiting speed 4,800 r/min, oil speed 6,400 r/min, mass about 669 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup set with a pressed-steel cage.
Are the cone and cup of 4T-3382/3321 interchangeable separately?
Yes — ABMA inch parts are individually interchangeable: the 3382 cone or the 3321 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 105/112 kN ratings change with the cup.
What is the difference between 4T-3382/3321 and a metric ISO 355 tapered bearing?
4T-3382/3321 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 39.688×77.534×29.37 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-3382/3321 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 3382/3321 references; the 4T spelling is retained among this page's search aliases.
Why does 4T-3382/3321 list two speeds, 4,800 and 6,400 r/min?
The lower figure, 4,800 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-3382/3321 at 6,400 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on pair adjustment, oil flow and cooling.
