Product Overview: The 3982/20 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 3982/20 is a single-row, inch series Tapered Roller Bearing designed to handle a combination of radial and axial loads. With a bore diameter of 53.975mm, an outer diameter of 96.838mm, and a total width of 30.162mm, this bearing is engineered for robust performance in a variety of demanding applications. Its design consists of two main separable parts: the cone (inner ring assembly) and the cup (outer ring), which simplifies mounting and maintenance procedures. The tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways creates a design that can support high loads and provide true rolling motion, minimizing friction and operational temperatures.
As a key component in our Inch Tapered Roller Bearings collection, the 3982/20 is manufactured to precise industry standards, ensuring reliable and consistent performance. This type of bearing is essential for machinery where load support and rotational accuracy are critical, making it a popular choice in automotive, industrial, and agricultural sectors.
