Product Overview: The 31310 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 31310 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust and reliable component designed to handle heavy combined radial and axial loads. As part of our extensive 31300 Series of Tapered Roller Bearings, this product is engineered for superior performance in demanding industrial and automotive applications. Its key design feature is the tapered raceways of the inner and outer rings and the tapered rollers, which allow it to accommodate high loads from one direction. The separable design, with the cone (inner ring with roller and cage assembly) and cup (outer ring) being mountable separately, simplifies installation, maintenance, and inspection procedures.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 31310 bearing ensures dimensional accuracy and consistent performance. Its geometry minimizes friction and heat generation, contributing to a longer service life and enhanced operational efficiency. This bearing is a critical component in machinery where durability and high load-carrying capacity are essential.
Key Features of the 31310 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Designed to support heavy combined (radial and axial) loads, making it ideal for rigorous applications.
- Separable Design: The cone and cup are separable, which facilitates easy mounting, dismounting, and maintenance.
- Single-Direction Axial Load Support: Effectively manages substantial axial loads in one direction. Often mounted in pairs to handle axial loads in both directions.
- Low Friction Operation: The logarithmic contact profile between rollers and raceways ensures optimal stress distribution and reduces friction.
- Enhanced Operational Reliability: Precision manufacturing and high-quality materials ensure consistent and reliable performance even under tough conditions.
- Long Service Life: Constructed from high-grade bearing steel for excellent durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
