Product Overview: The LM503349/10 Tapered Roller Bearing
The LM503349/10 is a high-performance, single-row inch series tapered roller bearing, an essential component for applications requiring robust support for combined radial and axial loads. With precise dimensions of a 45.987mm bore diameter, a 74.976mm outer diameter, and an 18mm total width, this bearing is engineered for reliability and durability. Its design consists of a separable cone (inner ring, rollers, and cage) and a cup (outer ring), which simplifies installation and maintenance. As part of our extensive range of Tapered Roller Bearings, the LM503349/10 is a popular choice in demanding sectors like automotive and industrial machinery.
Key Features of the LM503349/10 Bearing
- Inch Series Design: Manufactured to standard inch dimensions for compatibility with a wide range of North American and international equipment.
- Handles Combined Loads: Expertly designed to accommodate high radial and axial (thrust) loads in a single direction.
- Separable Components: The cone (LM503349) and cup (LM503310) can be mounted independently, allowing for easier assembly, disassembly, and inspection.
- True Rolling Motion: The tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways ensures a true rolling motion, minimizing friction and heat generation during operation.
- High Load Capacity: Constructed from premium-grade bearing steel to provide excellent load-carrying capability and a long service life.
- Versatile Mounting: Can be mounted in pairs (e.g., back-to-back or face-to-face) to handle axial loads in both directions and provide a rigid bearing arrangement.
Common Applications
- Automotive Wheel Hubs: Widely used in front and rear wheel assemblies for cars, light trucks, and trailers.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in transmission systems, ensuring smooth power transfer.
- Agricultural Machinery: Essential for axles, wheels, and implements in tractors, harvesters, and other farm equipment.
- Construction Equipment: Used in heavy-duty machinery like loaders, excavators, and graders where high loads are common.
