Product Overview: The 196 Tapered Roller Bearing Cup
The 196 is an industry-standard bearing cup, a critical component of a single-row inch series tapered roller bearing. With an outer diameter of 50.005 mm and a width of 14.288 mm, this cup is engineered for precision and durability. It is designed to be paired with a corresponding cone assembly (such as the 09067 or 09081) to form a complete bearing, like the 09067/196. This separable design allows the cup and cone to be mounted independently, simplifying installation and maintenance procedures.
As a key part of our Inch Tapered Roller Bearings collection, the 196 cup is manufactured from high-quality, case-hardened steel to withstand heavy radial and axial loads in one direction. Its precision-ground raceway ensures low friction and smooth rotation, making it an essential component in a wide variety of demanding applications, particularly in the automotive and industrial sectors. Explore our complete range of Tapered Roller Bearings to find the perfect components for your machinery.
Key Features of the 196 Bearing Cup
- Inch Series Standard: Manufactured to standard inch dimensions for broad compatibility and interchangeability.
- Separable Component: The cup can be mounted separately from the cone assembly, offering greater flexibility during installation and inspection.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-purity, case-hardened bearing steel for excellent fatigue resistance and long service life.
- Precision Raceway: Engineered for optimal contact with rollers, ensuring efficient load distribution and minimal friction.
- High Load Capability: Forms a bearing capable of handling significant combined (radial and axial) loads when assembled with a matching cone.
Common Applications
- Automotive Wheel Hubs: Widely used in front and rear wheel assemblies for cars, trucks, and trailers.
- Gearboxes and Transmissions: Provides robust support for shafts and gears in various industrial and automotive gear systems.
- Agricultural Machinery: Essential for equipment such as plows, tillers, and tractor axles where reliability is crucial.
- Construction Equipment: Found in heavy machinery like rollers, mixers, and earthmovers.
- Axle Systems: A common choice for differential and pinion shaft support in vehicle axles.
- Industrial Machinery: Used in machine tool spindles, conveyor rollers, and other general industrial applications requiring high load support.
Benefits of Using the 196 Cup
- Enhanced Equipment Life: The robust design helps manage heavy loads effectively, reducing wear and extending the operational life of machinery.
- Simplified Maintenance: The ability to separate the cup and cone makes inspection, lubrication, and replacement more straightforward.
- Reliable Performance: Provides consistent and stable rotational motion, improving the overall reliability of the application.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Allows for the replacement of only the worn component (cup or cone) instead of the entire bearing assembly.
- Versatile Application: Standardized design makes it suitable for a vast range of industrial, automotive, and agricultural uses.
