Tapered roller bearings from SKF handle radial and axial forces at the same time. The angled rollers and raceways make line contact, which spreads the load across the rolling surfaces. Gearboxes, machine shafts and other demanding industrial drives are typical places where these bearings are installed. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers in the United States and Latin America.
Codes in this series carry design information in their letters and digits. Take 248/1500 CAK30FA/W20: the leading number points to the dimension series, CA signals a machined brass cage with defined contact angles, K means the bore is tapered, 30 gives the taper ratio, FA covers a surface or execution variant, and W20 marks a particular modification such as a groove or hole. Reading these suffixes correctly is what lets you match the bearing to the job.
Metallurgy, cement, mining, food processing and material handling all rely on this type of bearing. Speed reducers, conveyor rollers, machine tool spindles and lifting equipment are common mounting points. Because the bearing takes radial and axial forces together, it suits assemblies where the shaft sees both at once, which is normal in industrial power transmission.
Selection comes down to sealing arrangement, internal clearance and lubrication method. Tapered roller bearings normally work in pairs, and axial clearance is set with lock nuts or shims. Shaft and housing must be aligned, otherwise parasitic loads appear. Grease or oil both work, depending on speed and operating temperature. Using the correct tools during assembly protects the component's service life.
Each manufacturer uses its own nomenclature, but tapered roller bearings share standardized dimensions. For a replacement, compare bore diameter, outside diameter, width and contact angle, and go beyond the part number by checking tolerances and internal design. Our team can point you to a suitable equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- What do the suffixes CAK30FA/W20 indicate?
- CA points to a brass cage and contact angle, K to a tapered bore, 30 to the taper, FA to an execution variant, and W20 to a specific modification. Send the complete part number and we will help you read it.
- How should a tapered roller bearing be mounted?
- Usually in pairs, with axial clearance adjusted afterward. Shaft and housing alignment, correct lubrication and proper tools all matter, since poor mounting shortens bearing life.
- Can I replace it with another brand's bearing?
- Dimensions follow standards, but nomenclature differs between manufacturers. Compare bore diameter, outside diameter, width and contact angle, and check tolerances and internal design rather than relying on the part number alone.
