Product Overview: The LM501349/14 Tapered Roller Bearing
The LM501349/14 is a single-row inch series tapered roller bearing, a crucial component for applications requiring support for combined radial and axial loads. With a bore diameter of 41.275mm, an outer diameter of 73.431mm, and a total width of 19.558mm, this bearing is engineered for precision and durability. It consists of two main separable parts: the cone (inner ring assembly, LM501349) and the cup (outer ring, LM501314). This design 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 LM501349/14 is designed to industry standards, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of machinery, particularly in automotive and industrial sectors. The tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways creates a stable design capable of handling heavy, simultaneous loads from different directions. Explore our full range of Tapered Roller Bearings to find the perfect solution for your high-load applications.
Key Features of the LM501349/14 Bearing
- Inch Series Design: Manufactured to standard inch dimensions for compatibility with a wide range of American and international equipment.
- Combined Load Capacity: Expertly designed to handle significant radial and axial loads in one direction.
