How the HH224346-HH224310 model number is decoded
For an inch shaft of 114.3 mm carrying combined radial and thrust load, NTN lists 4T-HH224346/HH224310, a single-row 4T tapered roller set of 635 kN C and 810 kN C0 inside the 212.725 mm OD cup. Unlike ISO 355 metric numbers, this ABMA code does not encode the bore arithmetically: HH224346 identifies the cone of 114.3 mm (4.5 in) bore by catalogue lookup, and HH224310 fixes the 212.725 mm OD. Imperial cross-check for the drawing: 114.3×212.725×66.675 mm converts to 4.5 × 8.375 × 2.625 in; the ABMA envelope swaps with like-numbered inch parts but the 635/810 kN ratings are NTN-specific. The printed 635/810 kN ratings belong to the assembled HH224346+HH224310 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. The rollers run with their large ends against the cone's guide rib; lubricant must reach that rib face of 4T-HH224346/HH224310, not only the raceway, or the pair smears on the first overloaded start.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- cement-plant mill and kiln drive trains
- large shredder and recycler main shafts
- power-plant coal-mill and fan shafts
- rolling-mill pinion stands and roll-neck auxiliaries
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
- water-induced pitting when the open bearing sees washdown without external seals
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 114.3 mm bore the 4T-HH224346/HH224310 set is adjusted with hydraulic nuts or measured shims on mill and crane positions; manual torque methods cannot control preload at the 635 kN C level.
- The extra-heavy HH family is proportioned for a high thrust share; swapping to a lighter LM or pure-numeric series at the same 114.3 mm bore cuts axial capacity even when the envelope fits — re-verify the load split before downgrading.
- ABMA makes the 114.3×212.725 mm envelope interchangeable, not the ratings: NTN prints 635/810 kN for this execution and another make of the same number can differ in roller complement.
- An unloaded 4T-HH224346/HH224310 near 1,700 r/min lets rollers skid and smear the cone rib; spring-preload lightly loaded high-speed pairs.
- ABMA makes the 114.3×212.725 mm envelope interchangeable, not the ratings: NTN prints 635/810 kN for this execution and another make of the same number can differ in roller complement.
- The 635/810 kN ratings here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 4T-HH224346/HH224310; 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-HH224346/HH224310?
4T-HH224346/HH224310 is an inch-series single-row tapered roller bearing to the ABMA boundary plan: 114.3 mm bore (4.5 in), 212.725 mm outside diameter and 66.675 mm assembled width T (8.375 × 2.625 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 635 kN, C0 810 kN, grease limiting speed 1,700 r/min, oil speed 2,300 r/min, mass about 10100 g. It is an open, separable cone/cup set with a pressed-steel cage.
Are the cone and cup of 4T-HH224346/HH224310 interchangeable separately?
Yes — ABMA inch parts are individually interchangeable: the HH224346 cone or the HH224310 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 635/810 kN ratings change with the cup.
What is the difference between 4T-HH224346/HH224310 and a metric ISO 355 tapered bearing?
4T-HH224346/HH224310 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 114.3×212.725×66.675 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-HH224346/HH224310 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 HH224346/HH224310 references; the 4T spelling is retained among this page's search aliases.
Why does 4T-HH224346/HH224310 list two speeds, 1,700 and 2,300 r/min?
The lower figure, 1,700 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-HH224346/HH224310 at 2,300 r/min because oil removes rib-contact heat better. Real limits still depend on pair adjustment, oil flow and cooling.
