How the H715343-H715311 model number is decoded
NTN supplies this 2.687 in (68.262 mm) shaft position as 4T-H715343/H715311: cone H715343, cup H715311, profiled rollers and a pressed-steel cage, rated 248 kN basic dynamic and 355 kN static. Cone and cup of 4T-H715343/H715311 are separately stocked parts: a worn H715311 cup can be replaced against the existing H715343 cone, provided the new cup carries the identical reference — pairing across references changes the 46.038 mm assembled width and the rating. Two single-row inch sets are normally mounted as an adjusted O or X pair; the 46.038 mm T of each 4T-H715343/H715311 enters the spacer calculation, so the tolerance on assembled width matters as much as the bore fit. The printed 248/355 kN ratings belong to the assembled H715343+H715311 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. Running clearance of 4T-H715343/H715311 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
- crusher and screening-plant eccentric shafts
- heavy truck and bus drive-axle differentials
- plant gearboxes on inch-dimensioned shaft lines
- large conveyor head pulleys in bulk-handling plant
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
- pressed-steel cage pocket wear from roller skid at light radial load and high speed
- indentation of the raceways by hard particles in an open, unsealed arrangement
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount the 68.262 mm cone by induction heating (max 120 °C) and the 136.525 mm cup with a press sleeve; at 3230 g a cocked ring brinells the raceway directly.
- The heavy H family at 68.262 mm bore (136.525×46.038 mm assembled) is one of several inch families sharing similar bores; cross-series swaps change OD, T and contact angle, so match the full H715343/H715311 reference at purchase.
- Shaft and housing fillets must clear the ring chamfers of H715343 and H715311; use undercut shoulders so the rings seat on the face, not on a radius.
- Shaft and housing fillets must clear the ring chamfers of H715343 and H715311; use undercut shoulders so the rings seat on the face, not on a radius.
- Inch and metric bores collide on paper — 68.262 mm is 2.687 in, not a round metric size; a metric bearing that seems 0.1 mm off will not seat on the inch shaft.
- The 248/355 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-H715343/H715311; 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-H715343/H715311?
4T-H715343/H715311 is an inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing to the ABMA boundary plan: 68.262 mm bore (2.687 in), 136.525 mm outside diameter and 46.038 mm assembled width T (5.375 × 1.813 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 248 kN, C0 355 kN, grease limiting speed 2,600 r/min, oil speed 3,500 r/min, mass about 3230 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup set with a pressed-steel cage.
Are the cone and cup of 4T-H715343/H715311 interchangeable separately?
Yes — ABMA inch parts are individually interchangeable: the H715343 cone or the H715311 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 248/355 kN ratings change with the cup.
What is the difference between 4T-H715343/H715311 and a metric ISO 355 tapered bearing?
4T-H715343/H715311 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 68.262×136.525×46.038 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-H715343/H715311 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 H715343/H715311 references; the 4T spelling is retained among this page's search aliases.
Why does 4T-H715343/H715311 list two speeds, 2,600 and 3,500 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-H715343/H715311 at 3,500 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on pair adjustment, oil flow and cooling.
