Product Overview: The 15101/245 Inch Tapered Roller Bearing
The 15101/245 is a single-row Inch Tapered Roller Bearing designed for exceptional performance in a wide range of industrial and automotive applications. This bearing set consists of the 15101 cone (inner ring assembly) and the 245 cup (outer ring). With a bore diameter of 25.4mm (1.0000"), an outer diameter of 62.357mm (2.4550"), and a width of 19.446mm (0.7656"), it is engineered to handle a combination of heavy radial and axial (thrust) loads in one direction. The tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways ensures true rolling motion and low friction.
As a key component in our Tapered Roller Bearings collection, the 15101/245 is manufactured from high-quality bearing steel to ensure durability and a long service life under demanding conditions. Its separable design allows for easier mounting, dismounting, and maintenance. This bearing is a popular choice for applications requiring high load capacity and precise shaft guidance, such as vehicle wheel ends and gearbox assemblies.
Features of the 15101/245 Bearing
- Two-Part Assembly: Consists of a separable cone (inner ring, rollers, cage) and a cup (outer ring), which simplifies installation and maintenance.
- Combined Load Capacity: Designed to accommodate heavy radial and axial loads simultaneously in a single direction.
- Inch Series Design: Manufactured to inch-based dimensions, making it suitable for equipment built to imperial standards, common in North American machinery.
- High Rigidity: Provides stiff bearing support, minimizing deflection and ensuring accurate shaft positioning.
- Low Friction Operation: The logarithmic roller profile reduces stress concentrations and ensures smooth, efficient power transmission.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-carbon chromium bearing steel for superior strength, hardness, and wear resistance.
