Decoding NTN 23996
- 239Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 239 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 96Bore
- Bore 480 mm (96 × 5).
23996 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
NTN 23996 measures 480 mm across the bore and 650 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 128 mm (480 x 650 x 128 mm).

When shafts deflect or alignment is not perfect, NTN spherical roller bearings keep equipment running. Their two rows of rollers and spherical raceway let the outer ring oscillate, handling radial loads and axial loads in both directions. You will find them in conveyors, mills, pumps, and mining machinery.
The 239 series uses a simple code: 239 indicates a thin-section spherical roller bearing, and the digits after the slash give the bore in millimeters directly. So 239/500 has a 500 mm bore, 239/530 has a 530 mm bore, and so on. No multiplication needed. This makes size identification straightforward when you are reading a drawing or a nameplate.
These bearings suit cement, mining, steel, and material handling operations. Typical equipment includes ball mills, crushers, belt conveyors, high-flow centrifugal pumps, lifting gear, paper machines, and large industrial fans. They perform where the shaft may deflect or the structure is not completely rigid, thanks to their ability to take combined loads and compensate for misalignment.
Selection starts with the radial and axial loads, rotation speed, and environmental conditions. Check sealing: in dusty or humid areas, choose variants with seals or protective plates. Mount with suitable tools to avoid damaging rollers or raceways. Use the specified lubricant and verify initial alignment to take advantage of the self-aligning capability.
For equivalences, NTN spherical roller bearings interchange with other brands that follow the same international designation. An NTN 239/500 matches a 239/500 from SKF, FAG, or NSK, provided tolerances and cage type are maintained. Still, verify each manufacturer's technical data, as load capacity or materials may differ. If in doubt, send us the original part number.

Frequently asked questions
- NTN 23996 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- NTN 23996 measures 480 mm across the bore and 650 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 128 mm (480 x 650 x 128 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 23996.
- What does the designation 239/500 mean on an NTN bearing?
- The 239 series indicates a thin-section spherical roller bearing. The number after the slash, 500, is the bore diameter in millimeters. So a 239/500 has a 500 mm bore. This standard nomenclature makes size identification easy.
- When should I use a spherical roller bearing instead of a deep groove ball bearing?
- Use a spherical roller bearing when you have high radial loads, axial loads in both directions, or possible misalignment between shaft and housing. It compensates for misalignment and handles combined loads better. If alignment is perfect and loads are moderate, a deep groove ball bearing may be sufficient.
- How can I request a quote for a specific NTN bearing?
- Write to us via WhatsApp or email with the complete code or the size you need. We will quote it promptly. If you do not have the code, we can help you identify it from the equipment or original part data.
