98354 Timken

The 98354 Timken is a removable cone for a single-row tapered roller bearing, which includes the inner ring and rollers. When combined with a separately available cup (outer ring), they form a complete tapered roller bearing. The conical raceways and tapered rollers allow the bearing to absorb radial and axial forces in one direction. Tapered roller bearings are designed to minimize component wear by preventing sliding movements between the raceways and rollers. Proper bearing operation requires a minimum load and adjustment of axial clearance or preload during assembly. For reliable operation, it’s best to replace both the cone and cup at the same time, preferably from the same manufacturer to avoid potential bearing problems caused by differences in internal profiles, material, and tolerances. Always combine the 98354 Timken with a matching cup from the same manufacturer for best results.
