How the H715345-H715311 model number is decoded
4T-H715345/H715311 belongs to the NTN inch 4T tapered roller range (heavy H family); cone and cup are ordered by their own references and are individually interchangeable with like-numbered parts. 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 H715345/H715311 without it. Two single-row inch sets are normally mounted as an adjusted O or X pair; the 46.038 mm T of each 4T-H715345/H715311 enters the spacer calculation, so the tolerance on assembled width matters as much as the bore fit. Housing fitment sequence for 4T-H715345/H715311: press the H715311 cup square into the 136.525 mm seat first, then bring the H715345 cone (on its 71.438 mm shaft) into adjustment — the two references are separate engineering parts that happen to ship as one set. With a rotating shaft a k5/m5 cone seat and an easy-push cup seat are typical practice for 4T-H715345/H715311; reverse the fit logic when the cup rotates.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large conveyor head pulleys in bulk-handling plant
- paper-machine and calender roll supports
- off-highway and forestry machine axles
- marine winch and deck-machinery shafts
Known failure patterns
- rib-face scoring when the thrust share of the combined load exceeds what the cone rib of this size carries
- 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 damage from a mounting blow transmitted through the roller complement
- fretting corrosion on a loose cone seat that creeps under rotating load
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount the 71.438 mm cone by induction heating (max 120 °C) and the 136.525 mm cup with a press sleeve; at 3110 g a cocked ring brinells the raceway directly.
- The heavy H family at 71.438 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 H715345/H715311 reference at purchase.
- An unloaded 4T-H715345/H715311 near 2,600 r/min lets rollers skid and smear the cone rib; spring-preload lightly loaded high-speed pairs.
- Quote the full H715345/H715311 pair at ordering: the H715345 cone also ships against sibling cups, and a cup from another reference changes the 46.038 mm assembled width and the rating.
- Never drive the 136.525 mm cup home through the rollers: fitting force goes through the ring faces only, or brinell marks release as noise within the first running hours.
- The 248/355 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-H715345/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-H715345/H715311?
4T-H715345/H715311 is an inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing to the ABMA boundary plan: 71.438 mm bore (2.813 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 3110 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup set with a pressed-steel cage.
Are the cone and cup of 4T-H715345/H715311 interchangeable separately?
Yes — ABMA inch parts are individually interchangeable: the H715345 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-H715345/H715311 and a metric ISO 355 tapered bearing?
4T-H715345/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 71.438×136.525×46.038 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-H715345/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 H715345/H715311 references; the 4T spelling is retained among this page's search aliases.
Why does 4T-H715345/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-H715345/H715311 at 3,500 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on pair adjustment, oil flow and cooling.
