17245XA Timken

The 17245XA Timken is the outer ring cup component for a single-row tapered roller bearing. It can be paired with a compatible cone (the cage with rolling elements) to create a complete tapered roller bearing. The conical raceways and rollers enable the bearing to handle radial and axial forces in one direction, with the axial load capacity increasing with the angle of the outer ring. These bearings prevent sliding movements between components to minimize wear and require a minimum load for proper operation. The separable cone and cup allow for easy mounting and axial adjustment. For optimal performance, it’s recommended to replace both the cone and cup simultaneously, ideally from the same manufacturer to avoid potential issues with internal profiles, material differences, and tolerances. Always pair the 17245XA Timken with a matching cone from the same manufacturer for reliable operation.
