How the BT2B328934-HA3 model number is decoded

Load sharing between the two rows of BT2B328934-HA3 depends on the ground spacer; field re-grinding or mixing spacers from another unit — even of the same BT2B 328934 base — destroys the factory setting. The 100.0 mm radial section height ((590−390)/2) and 200 mm width frame a unit whose two rows share reversing thrust; keep the equivalent load P against the pair rating C 2967 kN, never against a single-row figure. Assembly datum check: verify the 200 mm width against the drawing before clamping — the width is the assembled result and the quickest field check that the correct execution of BT2B328934-HA3 is on the shaft. The TDIS.2/N execution of BT2B328934-HA3 differs from sibling variants in internal detail — spacer style, rib execution or clearance class — while sharing the 390×590×200 mm boundary; the full designation including the variant is the only safe order reference. TDI mounting: the double cone takes the m6 shaft seat at 390 mm bore, and the two single cups are seated separately in the housing — check cup-face contact around the full circumference before axial clamping.Ordering number SKF BT2B 328934/HA3 in SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000 denotes a TDI double-row tapered roller bearing for a 390 mm shaft: double cone, two single cups, factory-set internal clearance in the TDIS.2/N variant.Reading the designation: BT2B 328934 is the SKF double-row base number tied to the 390 mm bore and 590 mm OD, and the TDIS.2/N suffix identifies the internal design variant — cup/cone configuration, spacer execution and clearance class are encoded there rather than in a generic suffix.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • heavy-duty rolling-mill gearboxes
  • large crusher and mineral-processing drives
  • wind-turbine main shafts
  • large industrial mixer shafts

Known failure patterns

  • thermal clearance loss when housing cooling is undersized for two rows of tapered contact
  • brinelling of both raceways when mounting force is transmitted through the roller complement
  • pressed-steel cage wear or fracture after prolonged running above the limiting speed
  • grease degradation after long shelf storage without rotation or re-greasing
  • grease degradation after long shelf storage without rotation or re-greasing

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 BT2B328934-HA3 installation with temperature logging.
  • Lifting BT2B328934-HA3 by one ring separates the assembly; sling through the 390 mm bore or use the shaft as the lifting member.
  • Contamination control matters twice over for double-row units: particles trapped between the rows of BT2B328934-HA3 cannot migrate out, so flush the housing before assembly and fit filtration matched to the oil flow.
  • 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 328934/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 BT2B328934-HA3?

The SKF BT2B 328934/HA3 is a double-row tapered roller bearing of TDI design with 390 mm bore, 590 mm outer diameter and 200 mm overall width (15.354 × 23.228 × 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 200.00 kg.

What does the TDIS.2/N variant code on BT2B328934-HA3 mean?

Double-row tapered bearings of this size follow SKF works numbering: the base number BT2B 328934 fixes the 390×590×200 mm envelope, and the TDIS.2/N 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 BT2B328934-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 200.0 kg assembly mass and instrument the first run with temperature logging.

Can components of BT2B328934-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 BT2B328934-HA3 as a complete assembly in the same TDIS.2/N variant.

How does BT2B328934-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.
