15245 FAG

The 15245 FAG is an outer ring cup designed for a single-row tapered roller bearing. When paired with a separately available cone, it forms a complete tapered roller bearing with conical raceways and roller elements. This design allows the bearing to handle both radial and axial forces in one direction, with greater axial load capacity at a larger angle. The geometry of the bearing minimizes component wear by preventing sliding movements, but requires a minimum load for proper operation. The separable cone and cup allow for easy mounting and adjustment of axial clearance or preload. For reliable performance, it is recommended to replace both components at the same time and use matching components from the same manufacturer to avoid bearing problems stemming from differences in profile, material, and tolerances.
