Product Overview: 938/932 Imperial Tapered Roller Bearing
The 938/932 is a premium single-row imperial Tapered Roller Bearing designed for exceptional performance in demanding industrial and automotive applications. This bearing consists of two main separable parts: the cone (inner ring assembly, part 938) and the cup (outer ring, part 932). With a bore diameter of 95.25mm, an outer diameter of 190.5mm, and a total width of 56.744mm, this bearing is engineered to accommodate heavy combined (radial and axial) loads in one direction. Its tapered design ensures true rolling motion, minimizing friction and operational temperatures.
As part of our Inch Tapered Roller Bearings collection, the 938/932 is manufactured to stringent industry standards using high-quality bearing steel for superior durability and longevity. The separability of the cone and cup simplifies mounting, dismounting, and maintenance procedures. These bearings are commonly mounted in pairs (back-to-back or face-to-face) to handle axial loads in both directions and provide rigid shaft support.
Key Features of the 938/932 Bearing
- Two-Part Design: Consists of a separable cone (938) and cup (932), allowing for easier installation and inspection.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to support substantial radial and axial loads in a single direction.
- Imperial Dimensions: Manufactured to standard inch-based measurements for compatibility with a wide range of equipment.
- Low Friction Operation: The tapered geometry promotes true rolling motion, reducing friction and wear for extended service life.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-carbon chromium bearing steel for excellent hardness and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Axial Load Management: Can be mounted in pairs to effectively manage axial loads from both directions and provide a high degree of system rigidity.
