How the 359S-352 model number is decoded
4T-359S/352 is an NTN inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing: a separable cone-and-cup pair on the ABMA inch boundary plan, 46.038×90.119×23 mm (assembled width T), for a shaft of about 46.038 mm (1.813 in). Reading the designation: 4T-359S/352 follows the ABMA inch convention — the number before the slash is the cone (inner ring with roller set and cage), the number after the slash is the cup (outer ring), and the pure-numeric inch family lettering ties the pair to its boundary plan. Two single-row inch sets are normally mounted as an adjusted O or X pair; the 23 mm T of each 4T-359S/352 enters the spacer calculation, so the tolerance on assembled width matters as much as the bore fit. Cup-side note for 352: within the pure-numeric inch family tables the 359S cone is listed against several cup options, and it is the cup that fixes the 90.119 mm OD and the 23 mm assembled width — quote the full 359S/352 pair, never the cone alone. Minimum load matters at speed: an unloaded 4T-359S/352 run near 4,400 r/min lets the rollers skid; lightly spring-preload high-speed pair arrangements.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- construction-equipment pivot and wheel positions
- mining and quarry conveyor drive pulleys
- machine-tool headstocks on inch spindles
- pump and blower drive shafts with combined load
Known failure patterns
- rib-face scoring when the thrust share of the combined load exceeds what the cone rib of this size carries
- 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
- cage fatigue when the pair runs continuously near the grease limiting speed without oil cooling
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling after the catalogue L10 life at the actual combined load
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Hub and pinion positions of this 46.038 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-359S/352.
- The pure-numeric inch family at 46.038 mm bore (90.119×23 mm assembled) is one of several inch families sharing similar bores; cross-series swaps change OD, T and contact angle, so match the full 359S/352 reference at purchase.
- Grease packs must leave free volume inside the 23 mm-wide set; over-greasing a pair churning near the oil-band speed of 5,800 r/min raises temperature and destroys the setting.
- Inch and metric bores collide on paper — 46.038 mm is 1.813 in, not a round metric size; a metric bearing that seems 0.1 mm off will not seat on the inch shaft.
- Grease packs must leave free volume inside the 23 mm-wide set; over-greasing a pair churning near the oil-band speed of 5,800 r/min raises temperature and destroys the setting.
- The 77.5/79.5 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-359S/352; 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-359S/352?
4T-359S/352 is an inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing to the ABMA boundary plan: 46.038 mm bore (1.813 in), 90.119 mm outside diameter and 23 mm assembled width T (3.548 × 0.906 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 77.5 kN, C0 79.5 kN, grease limiting speed 4,400 r/min, oil speed 5,800 r/min, mass about 654 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup set with a pressed-steel cage.
Are the cone and cup of 4T-359S/352 interchangeable separately?
Yes — ABMA inch parts are individually interchangeable: the 359S cone or the 352 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 77.5/79.5 kN ratings change with the cup.
What is the difference between 4T-359S/352 and a metric ISO 355 tapered bearing?
4T-359S/352 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 46.038×90.119×23 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-359S/352 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 359S/352 references; the 4T spelling is retained among this page's search aliases.
Why does 4T-359S/352 list two speeds, 4,400 and 5,800 r/min?
The lower figure, 4,400 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-359S/352 at 5,800 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on pair adjustment, oil flow and cooling.
