For equipment that must handle radial and axial forces at the same time, SKF tapered roller bearings are a common choice. Their tapered raceways and rollers create linear contact that spreads the load. You will find them in gearboxes, wheel axles and machine tool spindles. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers across the United States and Latin America.
The part number tells you how the bearing is built. Take 30226T97.5/DB: 30226 is the size and dimension series, T means it is a mounted assembly, and 97.5 is the overall width in millimeters. The /DB suffix shows a tandem arrangement, where two bearings are paired face to face. In 32230T168/DB, /DB again means tandem mounting, and 168 is the total assembly width. Reading these codes helps you match the arrangement to the rigidity and load capacity your application needs.
These bearings appear in many types of industrial equipment. Gearboxes, speed reducers, transmission shafts, rolling mill rolls and machine tool spindles are typical examples. Automotive uses include wheel hubs and differentials, while agricultural machinery such as seeders and harvesters also relies on them. Because they take combined loads, they suit demanding settings with vibration and moderate shocks.
Selecting the right bearing starts with the size and direction of the loads, plus rotation speed and operating conditions. During mounting, alignment must be precise and axial clearance has to be set correctly, usually with nuts or shims. Grease or oil can be used for lubrication, depending on the application, and the sealing method should keep contaminants out. Poor mounting shortens bearing life and hurts equipment performance.
When it comes to equivalents, SKF tapered roller bearings can be swapped for products from other makers that share the same standardized dimensions. Still, tolerances and internal design may differ between brands. To confirm full compatibility, talk to a specialist and have the complete original code ready. MR Industrial Accessories LLC can advise you on the available options.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the /DB suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- The /DB suffix indicates a tandem arrangement of two bearings paired face to face. This setup gives greater rigidity and axial load capacity in both directions, and it is used where mounting must be precise and compact.
- How is axial clearance adjusted in a tapered roller bearing?
- Axial clearance is set with lock nuts, shims or spacers. Follow the manufacturer's specifications and check with measuring instruments. Too much adjustment causes overheating; too little leads to vibration.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with another brand?
- Yes, as long as dimensions and tolerances are equivalent. Tapered roller bearings follow international standards, but internal design can vary. Verify interchangeability with a specialist before replacing.
