How the BT2B332468A-HA1 model number is decoded
The TDIT/Y2 execution of BT2B332468A-HA1 differs from sibling variants in internal detail — spacer style, rib execution or clearance class — while sharing the 368.3×523.875×185.738 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 BT2B332468A-HA1 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.Ordering number SKF BT2B 332468 A/HA1 in SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000 denotes a TDI double-row tapered roller bearing for a 368.3 mm shaft: double cone, two single cups, factory-set internal clearance in the TDIT/Y2 variant.The code SKF BT2B 332468 A/HA1 is not an ISO 355 number: double-row tapered bearings of this size follow SKF works numbering, where BT2B 332468 fixes the 368.3×523.875×185.738 mm envelope and the variant suffix (TDIT/Y2) fixes the internal execution. The 185.738 mm ring width within the 185.738 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 3380 kN and C0 7500 kN are ratings of the complete double-row unit, giving a C0/C balance of 2.22; the fatigue load limit Pu 585 kN is the floor for the adjusted-life calculation at the 368.3 mm bore. Dimensional interchange map: within its boundary plan the 368.3×523.875×185.738 mm envelope of BT2B332468A-HA1 is fixed, so shoulder, spacer and seal drawings can be dimensioned straight from the catalogue table.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- heavy-duty rolling-mill gearboxes
- large crusher and mineral-processing drives
- wind-turbine main shafts
- marine propulsion gearboxes
Known failure patterns
- thermal clearance loss when housing cooling is undersized for two rows of tapered contact
- unequal load sharing between the two roller rows when the centre spacer loses its factory grinding
- cage pocket scoring when the bearing starts cold with grease of too-high base-oil viscosity
- fretting corrosion on a loose rotating shaft seat
- brinelling from pressing the cone or cup home through the rollers
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- The 368.3 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 BT2B332468A-HA1.
- Contamination control matters twice over for double-row units: particles trapped between the rows of BT2B332468A-HA1 cannot migrate out, so flush the housing before assembly and fit filtration matched to the oil flow.
- Never adjust the clearance of BT2B332468A-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 3380/7500 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 332468 A/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 BT2B332468A-HA1?
The SKF BT2B 332468 A/HA1 is a double-row tapered roller bearing of TDI design with 368.3 mm bore, 523.875 mm outer diameter and 185.738 mm overall width (14.5 × 20.625 × 7.313 in). From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: basic dynamic load rating C 3380 kN, C0 7500 kN, fatigue load limit Pu 585 kN, mass about 140.00 kg.
What does the TDIT/Y2 variant code on BT2B332468A-HA1 mean?
Double-row tapered bearings of this size follow SKF works numbering: the base number BT2B 332468 fixes the 368.3×523.875×185.738 mm envelope, and the TDIT/Y2 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 BT2B332468A-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 BT2B332468A-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 BT2B332468A-HA1 as a complete assembly in the same TDIT/Y2 variant.
How does BT2B332468A-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.
