Product Overview: The 31316 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 31316 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust, single-row bearing from our 31300 Series, engineered to handle significant combined loads. With dimensions of 80x170x42.5mm, this bearing is specifically designed with tapered inner and outer ring raceways and tapered rollers. This geometry allows it to accommodate high radial and axial loads in a single direction. Tapered roller bearings are typically mounted in pairs in a back-to-back or face-to-face arrangement to handle axial loads in both directions.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 31316 bearings are manufactured to precise standards for reliable performance in demanding environments. Their separable design, where the cone (inner ring with roller and cage assembly) and cup (outer ring) can be mounted independently, simplifies installation and maintenance.

Key Features of the 31316 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Designed to support heavy radial and axial loads in one direction, making it suitable for demanding applications.
- Separable Design: The cone and cup are separable, which facilitates easier mounting, dismounting, and inspection.
- Low Friction Operation: The logarithmic contact profile between rollers and raceways ensures optimal stress distribution and reduces friction, leading to lower operating temperatures and longer service life.
- Enhanced Rigidity: Can be set with a preload to achieve a high degree of stiffness in the bearing application.
- True Rolling Motion: The tapered geometry ensures the rollers move in a true rolling motion, minimizing slip and wear.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, clean bearing steel for superior durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
Common Applications
- Automotive Transmissions: Widely used in gearboxes, differentials, and axle assemblies where combined loads are prevalent.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in various industrial machinery.
