Product Overview: The 31304 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 31304 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust and versatile component, part of our extensive 31300 Series of Tapered Roller Bearings. With key dimensions of 20x52x16.25mm, this bearing is engineered to handle a combination of heavy radial and axial loads in a single direction. Its design features a separable cup (outer ring) and cone assembly (inner ring, rollers, and cage), which simplifies mounting, dismounting, and inspection procedures.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 31304 bearings meet stringent industry standards for performance and reliability. The unique tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways allows for true rolling motion, minimizing friction and heat generation during operation. This makes it an ideal choice for demanding applications in automotive, industrial, and agricultural machinery. Explore our complete range of tapered roller bearings to find the perfect solution for your high-load requirements.
