Product Overview: The 462/453X Tapered Roller Bearing
The 462/453X is a high-performance, single-row inch series Tapered Roller Bearing designed to handle a combination of heavy radial and axial loads. This bearing set consists of the 462 cone (inner ring, rollers, and cage) and the 453X cup (outer ring). With key dimensions of a 66.675mm bore diameter, a 127mm outer diameter, and a 34.925mm total width, it is engineered for reliability in demanding industrial and automotive applications. Its tapered geometry ensures true rolling motion, minimizing friction and heat generation, which contributes to a longer service life.
As a key component in our Inch Tapered Roller Bearings collection, the 462/453X is manufactured from high-quality bearing steel to ensure exceptional durability and resistance to wear. The separable design of the cone and cup simplifies mounting, dismounting, and maintenance procedures, making it a practical choice for a wide range of machinery.
Features of the 462/453X Bearing
- Two-Part Construction: Features a separable cone (462) and cup (453X) for easier assembly, maintenance, and inspection.
- Combined Load Capacity: Expertly designed to manage significant radial and single-direction axial (thrust) loads simultaneously.
- Inch Series Standard: Manufactured to standard inch dimensions, ensuring interchangeability and suitability for imperial system designs.
- Low-Friction Operation: The tapered roller design provides a true rolling motion, which reduces operational friction and wear.
- High-Quality Material: Constructed from premium-grade, through-hardened steel for superior strength and longevity under heavy loads.
- Adjustable Clearance: Can be set with a specific axial or radial clearance (preload or end play) during mounting to optimize performance for the application.
Applications of 462/453X Bearings
- Automotive Systems: Commonly used in vehicle wheel hubs, differentials, and pinion shaft applications.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in transmission systems and speed reducers.
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for use in tractors, harvesters, and other farm equipment that operates under heavy loads.
- Construction Equipment: Found in heavy machinery such as cranes, excavators, and graders where durability is critical.
- Mining and Aggregate: Used in conveyors, crushers, and other heavy-duty equipment exposed to harsh environments.
- Axle Assemblies: Suitable for trailer axles and other rolling stock requiring robust bearing solutions.
- Machine Tool Spindles: Offers the precision and rigidity required for spindles in lathes, mills, and other machine tools.
Benefits of Using the 462/453X Bearing
- Enhanced Load Handling: Superior capacity for combined loads compared to ball bearings of similar size.
- Increased Durability: Robust construction ensures reliable performance and a long operational life, even in tough conditions.
- Improved Machine Reliability: Reduces the risk of premature failure, leading to less downtime and lower maintenance costs.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Can be mounted in pairs in various configurations (face-to-face, back-to-back) to accommodate axial loads in both directions.
- Simplified Maintenance: The ability to separate the cone and cup makes installation and routine checks more efficient.
- Consistent Performance: Provides stable and predictable operation, contributing to overall system efficiency and precision.
