368A-90189 Timken

The 368A Timken is a cone designed for a single-row tapered roller bearing. It includes the inner ring and rollers, and when combined with a separate cup, forms a complete tapered roller bearing. With conical raceways and tapered rollers, this design allows the bearing to absorb radial and axial forces in one direction. Tapered roller bearings are built to minimize component wear due to their geometric qualities, but they require a minimum load for proper operation. The separable cone and cup allow for easy mounting and adjustment of axial clearance or preload. For optimal performance, it’s recommended to replace both the cone and cup at the same time, using components from the same manufacturer to avoid bearing problems caused by differences in profiles, material, and tolerances. Always use the 368A Timken with a matching cup from the same manufacturer for reliable operation.
