NACHI 31328J Tapered Roller Bearing

NACHI 31328J Tapered Roller Bearing

The NACHI 31328J is a precision metric tapered roller bearing designed to carry combined radial and axial loads efficiently. With a bore diameter of 140 mm, outer diameter of 300 mm, and an overall width of 77 mm (cone width 70 mm, cup width 47 mm), this bearing conforms to ISO dimension standards and is a direct interchange for equivalent metric tapered roller bearings from other manufacturers.

Design & Construction

Manufactured by NACHI – one of Japan’s leading bearing producers – the 31328J is precision-ground from high-carbon chromium bearing steel (AISI 52100 / JIS SUJ2), heat-treated to achieve optimum hardness and fatigue resistance. The tapered roller design features conical raceways on both inner ring (cone) and outer ring (cup), with tapered rollers running between them. This geometry allows the bearing to support combined radial and axial loads simultaneously, with the contact angle determining the ratio of axial to radial load capacity. The normal contact angle design provides a good balance between radial and axial load-carrying ability, making it the most versatile configuration for general-purpose applications.

Performance

Rated for a basic dynamic load capacity of 674.0 kN and a static load capacity of 865.0 kN, this bearing delivers dependable combined-load support and long calculated service life under correct operating conditions. Permissible speeds reach 1,100 rpm with grease lubrication and 1,500 rpm with oil lubrication. The separable design – where the cone (inner ring with roller and cage assembly) and cup (outer ring) can be mounted independently – simplifies installation, allows adjustment of internal clearance or preload, and facilitates maintenance.
