How the H917840-H917810 model number is decoded

In NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E, the order number 4T-H917840/H917810 denotes the heavy H family of NTN inch tapered roller bearings — cone H917840 and cup H917810 delivered as a matched, separable pair of 76.2 mm bore and 180.975 mm outside diameter. Unlike ISO 355 metric numbers, this ABMA code does not encode the bore arithmetically: H917840 identifies the cone of 76.2 mm (3 in) bore by catalogue lookup, and H917810 fixes the 180.975 mm OD. The 4.7 kN of dynamic capacity per millimetre of bore summarises the 360 kN rating over the 76.2 mm bore — sanity-check any interchange candidate against this ratio and the 53.975 mm T. Housing fitment sequence for 4T-H917840/H917810: press the H917810 cup square into the 180.975 mm seat first, then bring the H917840 cone (on its 76.2 mm shaft) into adjustment — the two references are separate engineering parts that happen to ship as one set. Back-to-back (O) and face-to-face (X) arrangements of two 4T-H917840/H917810 sets react differently to shaft bending; choose the orientation for the moment load before locking shoulder geometry.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • heavy truck and bus drive-axle differentials
  • plant gearboxes on inch-dimensioned shaft lines
  • large conveyor head pulleys in bulk-handling plant
  • paper-machine and calender roll supports

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
  • 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 180.975 mm cup with a press sleeve; at 6570 g a cocked ring brinells the raceway directly.
  • The heavy H family at 76.2 mm bore (180.975×53.975 mm assembled) is one of several inch families sharing similar bores; cross-series swaps change OD, T and contact angle, so match the full H917840/H917810 reference at purchase.
  • Replacing one half of an adjusted pair without resetting end play negates the 53.975 mm T logic: re-adjust the set and re-verify the contact pattern rather than reusing the old spacer stack.
  • Quote the full H917840/H917810 pair at ordering: the H917840 cone also ships against sibling cups, and a cup from another reference changes the 53.975 mm assembled width and the rating.
  • Fit selection follows the rotating ring: a rotating cone on a 76.2 mm shaft takes a k5/m5 seat, and a rotating cup reverses the logic — decide from the load diagram, not from habit.
  • The 360/415 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-H917840/H917810; 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-H917840/H917810?

4T-H917840/H917810 is an inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing to the ABMA boundary plan: 76.2 mm bore (3 in), 180.975 mm outside diameter and 53.975 mm assembled width T (7.125 × 2.125 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 360 kN, C0 415 kN, grease limiting speed 1,900 r/min, oil speed 2,600 r/min, mass about 6570 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup set with a pressed-steel cage.

Are the cone and cup of 4T-H917840/H917810 interchangeable separately?

Yes — ABMA inch parts are individually interchangeable: the H917840 cone or the H917810 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 360/415 kN ratings change with the cup.

What is the difference between 4T-H917840/H917810 and a metric ISO 355 tapered bearing?

4T-H917840/H917810 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 76.2×180.975×53.975 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-H917840/H917810 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 H917840/H917810 references; the 4T spelling is retained among this page's search aliases.

Why does 4T-H917840/H917810 list two speeds, 1,900 and 2,600 r/min?

The lower figure, 1,900 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-H917840/H917810 at 2,600 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on pair adjustment, oil flow and cooling.
