How the BT2B328523-HA1 model number is decoded
The 178 mm ring width within the 178 mm overall width is the space taken by the centre element of the set; abutment and spacer drawings should be dimensioned from the catalogue width table, not scaled from a single-row bearing. Selection arithmetic: C 3169 kN and C0 8150 kN are ratings of the complete double-row unit, giving a C0/C balance of 2.57; the fatigue load limit Pu 610 kN is the floor for the adjusted-life calculation at the 450 mm bore. Assembly datum check: verify the 178 mm width against the drawing before clamping — the width is the assembled result and the quickest field check that the correct execution of BT2B328523-HA1 is on the shaft. When cross-referencing BT2B328523-HA1, note that the TDI/WIY2 variant is part of the SKF works designation: same-envelope units under another variant code can differ in clearance class and load rating even though d/D/T match. TDI mounting: the double cone takes the m6 shaft seat at 450 mm bore, and the two single cups are seated separately in the housing — check cup-face contact around the full circumference before axial clamping.The SKF BT2B 328523/HA1 is a 450×595×178 mm TDI double-row tapered roller bearing — a double cone with two cups, delivered clearance-set as one assembly weighing 140.0 kg.Numbering for double-row tapered bearings is works-specific: BT2B 328523 denotes the envelope (450 mm bore, 595 mm OD, 178 mm width) and the suffix the internal design — two bearings with the same base number but different variants are not interchangeable without checking the variant meaning.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- rolling-mill roll-neck bearings
- heavy-duty rolling-mill gearboxes
- large crusher and mineral-processing drives
- marine propulsion gearboxes
Known failure patterns
- axial clamping ring bolt relaxation that lets the clearance-set rows walk apart under reversing thrust
- water or scale ingress at the separable ring parting lines in roll-neck service
- pressed-steel cage wear or fracture after prolonged running above the limiting speed
- grease degradation after long shelf storage without rotation or re-greasing
- mounting score marks when the cone is cocked over the shaft keyway or a burr
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Catalogue tables for this size class list no reference speed: derive permissible speed from the application heat balance, and instrument the first run of a BT2B328523-HA1 installation with temperature logging.
- Contamination control matters twice over for double-row units: particles trapped between the rows of BT2B328523-HA1 cannot migrate out, so flush the housing before assembly and fit filtration matched to the oil flow.
- Never adjust the clearance of BT2B328523-HA1 in the field: the two rows are set by ground spacers at the factory, and shim experiments on a 140.0 kg assembly usually end in overheated rows.
- The 3169/8150 kN ratings are SKF catalogue 17000 values for this 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.
- Quote the full SKF BT2B 328523/HA1 designation when purchasing — base-number-only orders are ambiguous across executions and variants.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of BT2B328523-HA1?
The SKF BT2B 328523/HA1 is a double-row tapered roller bearing of TDI design with 450 mm bore, 595 mm outer diameter and 178 mm overall width (17.717 × 23.425 × 7.008 in). From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: basic dynamic load rating C 3169 kN, C0 8150 kN, fatigue load limit Pu 610 kN, mass about 140.00 kg.
What does the TDI/WIY2 variant code on BT2B328523-HA1 mean?
Double-row tapered bearings of this size follow SKF works numbering: the base number BT2B 328523 fixes the 450×595×178 mm envelope, and the TDI/WIY2 code identifies the internal design variant — spacer execution, rib detail and clearance class. Same-envelope units under a different variant are not interchangeable without checking the variant meaning.
Why does the catalogue list no speed rating for BT2B328523-HA1?
Bearings of this size class run in slow, heavily loaded machinery where the permissible speed is set by the application heat balance rather than a universal table value. Plan lubrication and cooling against the 140.0 kg assembly mass and instrument the first run with temperature logging.
Can components of BT2B328523-HA1 be interchanged with another unit of the same base number?
No — cones, cups and spacers of a double-row set are matched per serial and the clearance is set by selective grinding at the factory. Replace BT2B328523-HA1 as a complete assembly in the same TDI/WIY2 variant.
How does BT2B328523-HA1 react axial load?
The TDI design works as a fixed O arrangement: one double cone between two single cups gives a wide load spread and high moment stiffness while reacting thrust in both directions through the two rows.
