Product Overview: The 31318 Tapered Roller Bearing
The 31318 Tapered Roller Bearing is a robust, single-row bearing designed to handle significant combined radial and axial loads. Part of our extensive 31300 Series of Tapered Roller Bearings, this component is engineered with a cup and a cone assembly. The cone consists of the inner ring, rollers, and cage, while the cup forms the outer ring. This separable design simplifies mounting, dismounting, and maintenance inspections. With its principal dimensions of 90mm bore diameter, 190mm outer diameter, and 64mm width, the 31318 is built for high-load capacity and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features of the 31318 Bearing
- Separable Cup and Cone Design: Allows for easier installation, removal, and maintenance, as the inner and outer rings can be mounted independently.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to accommodate heavy radial and single-direction axial (thrust) loads simultaneously.
- Tapered Raceways: The roller and raceway contact lines are designed to meet at a common apex on the bearing axis, ensuring true rolling motion and low friction.
- Adjustable Clearance: The internal clearance can be precisely set during mounting by adjusting the axial position of the cone relative to the cup.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, high-carbon chromium bearing steel for exceptional durability and resistance to wear.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of machinery where combined loads and precise shaft guidance are required.
Common Applications
- Automotive Axles: Widely used in vehicle wheel hubs and differential systems due to its ability to handle heavy loads.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in heavy-duty transmission systems.
- Construction Machinery: Essential in equipment like excavators, loaders, and cranes where robust performance is critical.
- Agricultural Equipment: Found in tractors, harvesters, and other farm machinery to support rotating shafts under demanding conditions.
- Rolling Mills: Used to support the rollers in steel and metal processing plants, withstanding extreme pressures.
- Mining Equipment: Provides durable and reliable operation in crushers, conveyors, and other heavy-duty mining machinery.
- Pumps and Compressors: Ensures stable rotation and support for shafts in large industrial pump and compressor systems.
Benefits of Using the 31318 Bearing
