When you need to replace a bearing in a gearbox, axle or machine tool spindle, the SKF 37431/37625 VA983 tapered roller bearing is built for combined radial and axial loads in one direction. Its tapered rollers and raceways make linear contact, which distributes load across the assembly. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this SKF line and helps you confirm the correct fit for your equipment.
The part number carries useful information. The main numbers 37431 and 37625 identify the cup and cone dimensions in the series. The letter A typically marks an internal design change, while VA983 points to a specific modification such as a surface treatment or a defined tolerance. Reading these codes correctly is the first step to ordering the right replacement.
Typical applications include speed reducers, road machinery, pumping equipment, gear transmission systems, conveyor rollers and machine tool spindles. Industries such as food processing, cement, mining and automotive rely on these bearings where the shaft must run with minimal clearance and good guidance.
Selection depends on radial and axial load, rotation speed and the operating environment. During installation, align the cup and cone precisely and apply the correct lubricant, grease or oil as the application requires. Seals or deflectors are important to keep contaminants out. In vibrating equipment, check internal clearance and the fit on both shaft and housing.
Interchange with other brands is possible only when the main dimensions and raceway angle match. A similar series number is not enough; compare tolerances and load capacity. Suffixes such as VA983 can indicate differences in treatment or clearance, so review the data sheet before substituting.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the VA983 suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- VA983 identifies a specific variant within the series, such as a surface treatment or a particular tolerance. It does not change the main dimensions, but it can affect performance. Send us the complete part number to verify your application.
- How do I choose between a tapered roller bearing and a ball bearing?
- Tapered roller bearings handle greater combined loads and are more rigid, which suits shafts with simultaneous axial and radial forces. Ball bearings are for lighter loads and higher speeds. The choice depends on the load and the precision required.
- Can tapered roller bearings from different brands be mounted on the same equipment?
- Mixing brands in the same assembly is not recommended, because tolerances and angles may vary. For replacement, keep the same manufacturer or verify dimensional and load equivalences with a specialist.
