RKB tapered roller bearings are separable, consisting of a cone (inner ring with rollers and cage) and a cup (outer ring). They accommodate radial and axial loads in one direction, so they are installed in opposed pairs. Typical uses include transmission boxes, gearboxes, wheel hubs, and general industrial equipment where significant forces act on moderately rotating shafts.

The part number combines two codes separated by a slash: the first designates the cone, the second the cup. For instance, 368 A/362 A and 387 A/382 A are cone-cup pairs supplied as a unit. The suffix A denotes a design variant within the series, often tied to specific dimensions or tolerances. When requesting a quote, provide the full code as shown on the drawing or part, because each component is ordered separately if only the cone or cup needs replacement.

These bearings appear in food, metallurgy, cement, and mining industries, as well as agriculture. They are found in gearboxes and gear cases, machine tool shafts, conveyor belt rollers, wheel hubs of road and agricultural equipment, and assemblies that must absorb combined radial and axial loads with some misalignment. Process pumps and fans also use them.

Selecting a tapered bearing requires considering the radial and axial loads, rotation speed, and lubrication type. Mounting involves fitting the cone on the shaft and the cup in the housing, always in opposed pairs to cover both axial directions. Alignment between the two bearings is critical: poor alignment creates parasitic loads and premature wear. Adequate sealing and lubrication extend service life, especially in dusty or moist environments.

For equivalents, tapered roller bearings are identified by their numeric designation, which can differ between manufacturers. If you have a code from another brand, send it along with the main dimensions (inner, outer, and width diameters) to check interchangeability. MR Industrial Accessories supplies the RKB brand and can guide you to the equivalent reference in its line without requiring you to know the exact nomenclature.

If you need an RKB tapered roller bearing, contact us via WhatsApp with the code or dimensions from your equipment. At MR Industrial Accessories, we will quote the exact reference and respond promptly. We can also advise on mounting or the right lubrication for your application.
