16284 NSK

The 16284 NSK is an outer ring cup designed for use with a single-row tapered roller bearing. When combined with a compatible cone, it creates a complete tapered roller bearing capable of absorbing radial and axial forces in one direction. The conical raceways and roller elements contribute to this design’s ability to withstand both types of forces, with the axial load capacity increasing as the angle between the outer ring and the bearing’s center line grows. The geometric features of the tapered roller bearings prevent sliding movements between the raceways and rollers, minimizing component wear. However, it is important to ensure a minimum load for proper operation. The separable cone and cup can be easily mounted and allow for adjustment of axial clearance or preload during assembly. To ensure reliable operation, it is best to replace the cone and cup simultaneously, and to use components from the same manufacturer to avoid potential bearing problems arising from differences in internal bearing profiles, materials, and tolerances. For optimal performance, always pair the 16284 NSK cup with a matching cone from the same manufacturer.
