Product Overview: The 368/362A Inch Series Tapered Roller Bearing
The 368/362A is a single-row inch series Tapered Roller Bearing, engineered to handle both high radial and axial loads in one direction. This bearing is comprised of two essential, separable components: the cone assembly (part number 368), which includes the inner ring, rollers, and cage, and the cup (part number 362A), which is the outer ring. With a bore diameter of 44.45mm, an outer diameter of 92.075mm, and a total width of 26.988mm, this bearing provides robust performance in a compact design. Its unique geometry ensures smooth, low-friction operation, making it a reliable choice for demanding industrial and automotive applications.
