Product Overview: The 368A/362A Tapered Roller Bearing
The 368A/362A is a high-performance, single-row Inch Tapered Roller Bearing, engineered to handle significant combined radial and axial loads. With a bore diameter of 50.8mm, an outer diameter of 92.075mm, and a total width of 24.608mm, this bearing is a robust solution for a wide range of demanding industrial and automotive applications. Its design consists of two primary separable components: the inner ring with rollers and cage assembly (cone, 368A) and the outer ring (cup, 362A). This separability simplifies mounting, dismounting, and maintenance procedures. As part of our comprehensive Tapered Roller Bearings collection, the 368A/362A is manufactured to precise standards to ensure reliable performance and extended service life.
Key Features of the 368A/362A Bearing
- Combined Load Management: Expertly designed to accommodate both heavy radial and single-direction axial (thrust) loads simultaneously.
- Separable Design: The cone (368A) and cup (362A) can be mounted independently, facilitating easier installation and inspection.
- High Load Capacity: The geometry of tapered rollers allows for a larger contact area, providing superior load-carrying capabilities.
- Low Friction Operation: Precision engineering of the rollers and raceways minimizes friction, reducing heat generation and enhancing efficiency.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, case-hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability and resistance to wear.
- Axial Stiffness: Can be preloaded to achieve high stiffness, making it ideal for applications requiring precise shaft positioning.
