How the 436-432 model number is decoded
The NTN 2203E inch table prints 4T-436/432 at 46.038 mm bore (1.813 in), 95.25 mm cup OD and 27.783 mm assembled T, with a grease limiting speed of 4,200 r/min and an oil ceiling of 5,600 r/min. 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 — 436 sits in the pure-numeric inch family. Speed planning uses both catalogue columns: grease 4,200 r/min is the mechanical ceiling for 4T-436/432, oil 5,600 r/min with circulating oil — a 1,400 r/min margin at this size. Cup-side note for 432: within the pure-numeric inch family tables the 436 cone is listed against several cup options, and it is the cup that fixes the 95.25 mm OD and the 27.783 mm assembled width — quote the full 436/432 pair, never the cone alone. Running clearance of 4T-436/432 is set at mounting by axial displacement of cone or cup — the catalogue does not ship a preloaded set, so the drawing must state end play or preload.
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
- 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 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-436/432.
- The pure-numeric inch family at 46.038 mm bore (95.25×27.783 mm assembled) is one of several inch families sharing similar bores; cross-series swaps change OD, T and contact angle, so match the full 436/432 reference at purchase.
- Open 4T-436/432 sets have no seals: a hub or gearbox needs external sealing or the 4,200 r/min grease figure is meaningless once water reaches the cone rib.
- ABMA makes the 46.038×95.25 mm envelope interchangeable, not the ratings: NTN prints 120/129 kN for this execution and another make of the same number can differ in roller complement.
- Quote the full 436/432 pair at ordering: the 436 cone also ships against sibling cups, and a cup from another reference changes the 27.783 mm assembled width and the rating.
- The 120/129 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-436/432; 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-436/432?
4T-436/432 is an inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing to the ABMA boundary plan: 46.038 mm bore (1.813 in), 95.25 mm outside diameter and 27.783 mm assembled width T (3.75 × 1.094 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 120 kN, C0 129 kN, grease limiting speed 4,200 r/min, oil speed 5,600 r/min, mass about 930 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup set with a pressed-steel cage.
Are the cone and cup of 4T-436/432 interchangeable separately?
Yes — ABMA inch parts are individually interchangeable: the 436 cone or the 432 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 120/129 kN ratings change with the cup.
What is the difference between 4T-436/432 and a metric ISO 355 tapered bearing?
4T-436/432 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 46.038×95.25×27.783 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-436/432 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 436/432 references; the 4T spelling is retained among this page's search aliases.
Why does 4T-436/432 list two speeds, 4,200 and 5,600 r/min?
The lower figure, 4,200 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-436/432 at 5,600 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on pair adjustment, oil flow and cooling.
