Product Overview: The LM67048/10 Tapered Roller Bearing
The LM67048/10 is a single-row, inch-series tapered roller bearing designed for exceptional performance in demanding applications. With a bore diameter of 31.75mm, an outer diameter of 59.131mm, and a total width of 15.875mm, this bearing is a staple in automotive and industrial machinery. It consists of two main separable parts: the cone (inner ring assembly, LM67048) and the cup (outer ring, LM67010). This design allows the bearing to accommodate high combined radial and axial loads in one direction, making it an ideal choice for wheel hubs and gearbox applications. As a key component in our Inch Tapered Roller Bearings collection, the LM67048/10 is manufactured to precise standards to ensure reliable operation and extended service life.
Key Features of the LM67048/10 Bearing
- Two-Part Design: The separable cone and cup allow for easier mounting, dismounting, and maintenance inspections.
- Load Handling: Engineered to support heavy combined (radial and axial) loads, providing superior performance under stress.
- Inch Series Standard: Manufactured to standard inch dimensions, ensuring interchangeability and suitability for a wide range of North American and other inch-based equipment.
- High Durability: Constructed from high-quality, case-hardened bearing steel for excellent resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Precise Operation: The tapered geometry reduces friction and ensures smooth, low-noise rotational movement.
- Axial Load in One Direction: Designed to handle significant axial loads in a single direction; often mounted in pairs for bi-directional support.
Common Applications
- Automotive Wheel Hubs: Widely used in the front and rear wheels of passenger cars, light trucks, and utility vehicles.
- Trailer and Caravan Axles: A standard choice for trailer wheel assemblies, providing the necessary durability for road transport.
- Agricultural Machinery: Employed in the wheels of tractors, plows, and other farming equipment that operates under heavy loads.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for shafts and gears in various light to medium-duty transmission systems.
- Conveyor Systems: Used in conveyor belt rollers to manage radial and thrust loads effectively.
- Machine Tool Spindles: Suitable for applications requiring rigid and precise shaft support, such as in lathes and milling machines.
Benefits of Using the LM67048/10 Bearing
