29521 Bower

The 29521 Bower is an outer ring designed for a single-row tapered roller bearing, used in conjunction with a separately available cone to create a complete bearing assembly. Its conical raceways and roller elements allow it to efficiently absorb radial and axial forces in one direction, with a higher angle providing greater axial load capacity. The design also minimizes sliding movements between the raceways and rollers, reducing component wear. It’s crucial to maintain a minimum load for proper operation, and adjusting end play or preload during assembly is straightforward due to the separable nature of the cup and cone. For optimal performance, it’s recommended to replace both components simultaneously, sourcing them from the same manufacturer to avoid potential issues arising from differing profiles, materials, and tolerances. Always pair the 29521 Bower with a compatible cone from the same manufacturer to ensure reliable bearing operation.
