How the 575-572-NTN model number is decoded
4T-575/572 is an NTN inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing: a separable cone-and-cup pair on the ABMA inch boundary plan, 76.2×139.992×36.512 mm (assembled width T), for a shaft of about 76.2 mm (3 in). The 4T prefix is NTN's tapered roller quality mark stamped on both parts; it is a brand mark, not a size code, so cross-references quote 575/572 without it. Catalogue mass of the 4T-575/572 cone-plus-cup set is 2420 g; shaft and housing shoulders must carry that mass square to the axis during fitting. Housing fitment sequence for 4T-575/572: press the 572 cup square into the 139.992 mm seat first, then bring the 575 cone (on its 76.2 mm shaft) into adjustment — the two references are separate engineering parts that happen to ship as one set. Running clearance of 4T-575/572 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
- paper-machine and calender roll supports
- off-highway and forestry machine axles
- marine winch and deck-machinery shafts
- crusher and screening-plant eccentric shafts
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
- Mount the 76.2 mm cone by induction heating (max 120 °C) and the 139.992 mm cup with a press sleeve; at 2420 g a cocked ring brinells the raceway directly.
- The pure-numeric inch family at 76.2 mm bore (139.992×36.512 mm assembled) is one of several inch families sharing similar bores; cross-series swaps change OD, T and contact angle, so match the full 575/572 reference at purchase.
- Grease packs must leave free volume inside the 36.512 mm-wide set; over-greasing a pair churning near the oil-band speed of 3,400 r/min raises temperature and destroys the setting.
- ABMA makes the 76.2×139.992 mm envelope interchangeable, not the ratings: NTN prints 197/265 kN for this execution and another make of the same number can differ in roller complement.
- Quote the full 575/572 pair at ordering: the 575 cone also ships against sibling cups, and a cup from another reference changes the 36.512 mm assembled width and the rating.
- The 197/265 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-575/572; 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-575/572?
4T-575/572 is an inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing to the ABMA boundary plan: 76.2 mm bore (3 in), 139.992 mm outside diameter and 36.512 mm assembled width T (5.511 × 1.437 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 197 kN, C0 265 kN, grease limiting speed 2,600 r/min, oil speed 3,400 r/min, mass about 2420 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup set with a pressed-steel cage.
Are the cone and cup of 4T-575/572 interchangeable separately?
Yes — ABMA inch parts are individually interchangeable: the 575 cone or the 572 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 197/265 kN ratings change with the cup.
What is the difference between 4T-575/572 and a metric ISO 355 tapered bearing?
4T-575/572 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 76.2×139.992×36.512 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-575/572 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 575/572 references; the 4T spelling is retained among this page's search aliases.
Why does 4T-575/572 list two speeds, 2,600 and 3,400 r/min?
The lower figure, 2,600 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-575/572 at 3,400 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on pair adjustment, oil flow and cooling.
