Product Overview: The 15123/245 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 15123/245 is a single-row inch-series Tapered Roller Bearing, an essential component for applications requiring support for combined radial and axial loads. With a bore diameter of 31.75mm, an outer diameter of 62.001mm, and a total width of 16.667mm, this bearing is precision-engineered for reliability. Its design consists of two main separable parts: the cone (inner ring, rollers, and cage) and the cup (outer ring). This feature simplifies installation and allows for precise setting of internal clearance or preload during mounting.
As a key item in our Inch Tapered Roller Bearings collection, the 15123/245 is designed to handle demanding conditions found in a wide range of industrial and automotive machinery. The tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways creates a stable design that effectively manages loads and ensures smooth, low-friction operation. This makes it a preferred choice for gearboxes, axle systems, and other equipment where durability and high load capacity are critical.
Key Features of the 15123/245 Bearing
- Inch-Series Design: Manufactured to standard inch dimensions, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of North American and other specialized equipment.
- Separable Components: The cone (15123) and cup (245) can be mounted separately, simplifying the assembly and maintenance process.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to accommodate heavy radial loads and single-direction axial loads simultaneously.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-purity, case-hardened bearing steel for exceptional wear resistance and extended service life.
- Low Friction Operation: The roller and raceway profiles are optimized to reduce friction, minimizing heat generation and energy loss.
- True Rolling Motion: The design ensures that the rollers and raceways meet at a common apex on the bearing axis, providing true rolling motion and high efficiency.
