How the BT2B328896-HA3 model number is decoded
In SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000, BT2B328896-HA3 appears as SKF BT2B 328896/HA3: a TDI-design double-row tapered roller bearing for a 390 mm shaft, rated C 2967 kN in the TDIS/NY execution.Reading the designation: BT2B 328896 is the SKF double-row base number tied to the 390 mm bore and 570 mm OD, and the TDIS/NY suffix identifies the internal design variant — cup/cone configuration, spacer execution and clearance class are encoded there rather than in a generic suffix. Wear pattern reading at overhaul: the two rows of BT2B328896-HA3 should show symmetric raceway contact; one-sided wear points to housing misalignment or a cocked seat rather than to a material defect. Mass 170.0 kg over a 390×570×200 mm envelope: the steel content itself is a heat sink, but the two roller rows generate roughly twice the friction of a single-row bearing of the same bore. Dimensional interchange map: within its boundary plan the 390×570×200 mm envelope of BT2B328896-HA3 is fixed, so shoulder, spacer and seal drawings can be dimensioned straight from the catalogue table. The TDIS/NY execution of BT2B328896-HA3 differs from sibling variants in internal detail — spacer style, rib execution or clearance class — while sharing the 390×570×200 mm boundary; the full designation including the variant is the only safe order reference. In the TDI O-arrangement the spread of the two rows of BT2B328896-HA3 gives high moment stiffness; the cups must be free to float microscopically in the housing so shaft thermal growth does not consume the factory clearance.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- rolling-mill roll-neck bearings
- heavy-duty rolling-mill gearboxes
- large crusher and mineral-processing drives
- rolling-mill roll-neck bearings
Known failure patterns
- water or scale ingress at the separable ring parting lines in roll-neck service
- axial clamping ring bolt relaxation that lets the clearance-set rows walk apart under reversing thrust
- pressed-steel cage wear or fracture after prolonged running above the limiting speed
- rib-roller contact scoring from loss of the EP additive film
- hard-particle indentation of the tapered raceway in unfiltered oil
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 BT2B328896-HA3 installation with temperature logging.
- The 390 mm bore seat must be checked for ovality before mounting — at this size a worn seat lets the cone creep, and fretting debris then works between the rows of BT2B328896-HA3.
- Never adjust the clearance of BT2B328896-HA3 in the field: the two rows are set by ground spacers at the factory, and shim experiments on a 170.0 kg assembly usually end in overheated rows.
- The 2967/6550 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 328896/HA3 designation when purchasing — base-number-only orders are ambiguous across executions and variants.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of BT2B328896-HA3?
The SKF BT2B 328896/HA3 is a double-row tapered roller bearing of TDI design with 390 mm bore, 570 mm outer diameter and 200 mm overall width (15.354 × 22.441 × 7.874 in). From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: basic dynamic load rating C 2967 kN, C0 6550 kN, fatigue load limit Pu 510 kN, mass about 170.00 kg.
What does the TDIS/NY variant code on BT2B328896-HA3 mean?
Double-row tapered bearings of this size follow SKF works numbering: the base number BT2B 328896 fixes the 390×570×200 mm envelope, and the TDIS/NY 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 BT2B328896-HA3?
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 170.0 kg assembly mass and instrument the first run with temperature logging.
Can components of BT2B328896-HA3 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 BT2B328896-HA3 as a complete assembly in the same TDIS/NY variant.
How does BT2B328896-HA3 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.
