How the M239447-410 model number is decoded
A single M239447 locates the shaft in one axial direction only; mount it against a second bearing in O (back-to-back) or X (face-to-face) arrangement, and set the running clearance by the mounting procedure — not by feel. Journal and housing interface: the 189.738 mm bore takes a m6 shaft seat (upper deviation ~0.379 mm for this diameter range) and the 279.4 mm outside diameter pairs with an H7 housing bore tolerance band of 279.4.000/279.420 mm; the 52.388 mm width defines the shoulder depth, and the 11000 g cone-plus-cup assembly is the dead load on the shaft during thermal expansion calculations. Cone-and-cup identity in M239447: the leading M 239447 reference identifies the inner ring, rollers and cage; the trailing 410 reference identifies the outer ring. The M239400-series series lists alternative cups for the same cone, each producing a different 279.4 mm OD or 52.388 mm width — hence a different SKU even though the bore stays at 189.738 mm.SKF M239447 (SKF M 239447/410) is the M239400-series tapered roller choice for a 189.738 mm shaft — one row of tapered rollers on an asymmetric raceway inside the 279.4×52.388 mm envelope.Digit by digit, M239447 reads as cone reference / cup reference in the M239400-series inch series; the 189.738 mm bore, 279.4 mm OD and 52.388 mm width are the metric equivalents of the original inch boundary values. The SKF catalogue adds the ISO 355 dimension-series code after the bare number (e.g. ); it is the dimensional series, not a separate part number. With C 643 kN and C0 980 kN, the M239447 pair-sizing check is dominated by the axial share: keep the equivalent load P below the rating at the required L10, remembering one bearing alone cannot cover reversing thrust at 2,000 r/min.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- rolling-mill roll-neck bearings
- heavy-duty rolling-mill gearboxes
- large crusher and mineral-processing drives
- heavy-duty rolling-mill gearboxes
Known failure patterns
- cup or cone misalignment when the separable rings are not seated square during mounting
- loose cup rotation in the housing when the specified press fit is not achieved
- roller large-end smearing against the cone rib after EP lubricant film failure
- uneven load sharing in a pair when spacer faces are not parallel to the bore
- cage pocket scoring when the bearing starts cold with grease of too-high base-oil viscosity
- edge loading from shaft deflection or housing misalignment
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 189.738 mm bore the cone mass is high enough that cocking during mounting damages the cage and rib; guide the ring square, confirm seat contact around the full circumference, and re-check setting after the first thermal cycle of the paired set.
- The M239400-series inch series at 189.738 mm bore (279.4×52.388 mm) follows the Timken cone/cup convention; substitutions must match both the cone and cup reference exactly — interchanging with another series or a metric 3xxxx bearing of the same bore changes OD, width and contact angle, so re-run the pair setting and shoulder-diameter checks before swapping.
- At the 643 kN rating of M239447, preload class changes stiffness by tens of percent but also heat generation; select light preload for the 2,000 r/min speed end and heavier preload only where moment stiffness dominates.
- The tapered contact angle creates an induced axial load under pure radial force; include it in the M239447 rating calculation (and account for it in both bearings of a pair) or the unloaded bearing skids its rollers.
- The 11000 g mass and 52.388 mm width mean spacer and abutment faces must be square to the axis within the bearing's own P0 tolerance; a tilted spacer tilts the contact angle and concentrates load on one rib of M239447.
- The 643/980 kN ratings are SKF catalogue 17000 values for the basic execution; SKF can revise internal geometry without changing the order number, so keep the catalogue version (PUB BU/P1 17000/1 EN, 2018) with the specification and re-verify for critical drives.
- SKF lists several executions of M239447 (basic, B steeper angle, Q/J2 clearance variants); they are not interchangeable order numbers — quote the full SKF M 239447/410 designation when purchasing and match the execution to the mounting arrangement.
Frequently asked questions
How does M239447 compare with a ball bearing of the same bore?
A tapered roller bearing has line contact and a steep contact angle: much higher combined axial-plus-radial capacity and shock resistance than a ball bearing of the same bore, at the cost of speed, one-direction thrust, mandatory pairing for reversing loads and a minimum axial load requirement. A ball bearing cannot be dropped into a combined-load M239447 position and vice versa — verify load direction, Fa/Fr ratio and speed before substituting.
What shaft and housing fits suit M239447?
For a rotating shaft under normal load, seat the cone on a m6 shaft fit; the cup is usually a loose-to-transition fit in the housing so it can creep slightly and distribute wear. Chamfer and shoulder diameters must clear the bearing rings so the 52.388 mm-wide cup seats square; the mounting setting (end play or preload) is set by the axial position of the cup relative to the cone.
Is M239447 interchangeable with other brands?
Inch-series tapered roller bearings follow a long-standing industry boundary plan, so cones and cups of the same basic number are generally dimensionally interchangeable across manufacturers. However, internal geometry, cage design and load ratings differ by brand, so for paired or precision applications keep both halves of the set from one manufacturer — or re-verify ratings and setting when mixing.
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of M239447?
The SKF M 239447/410 is a single-row tapered roller bearing with 189.738 mm bore, 279.4 mm outer diameter and 52.388 mm width (7.47 × 11 × 2.063 in). From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: basic dynamic load rating C 643 kN, C0 980 kN, fatigue load limit Pu 93 kN, reference speed 1,700 r/min, limiting speed 2,000 r/min, mass about 11000 g. It is an open, separable bearing with a pressed-steel cage.
How does the M239447 inch-series designation work?
Inch-series tapered roller bearings use a Timken-style cone/cup convention: the number before the slash identifies the cone (inner ring with roller and cage assembly), the number after the slash identifies the cup (outer ring), and the M239400-series code marks the dimensional series. The metric dimensions 189.738×279.4×52.388 mm are the converted equivalents of the original inch boundary dimensions.
