When you need to replace a tapered roller bearing, the part number on the component is your best guide. This SKF bearing, identified as L 555249/210/VE174, is built for applications where radial and axial forces act at the same time. The cone and cup design creates linear contact that helps manage those combined loads in gearboxes, reducers, wheel hubs and other heavy-duty equipment.
The full designation includes the cone and cup number L 555249/210 plus the suffix VE174. The numeric portion points to standardized dimensions, while the suffix can indicate a specific internal design, heat treatment, clearance or lubrication variant. Always read the engraved part number on the old bearing before ordering; external measurements alone may not capture these details.
Typical uses for this bearing type appear in food processing, cement, mining, oil and automotive plants. You will also find them in speed reducers, machine tool spindles, conveyor rollers and earthmoving machines. In agriculture, seeders and harvesters rely on them where combined loads and tough conditions are present.
Selection depends on the radial and axial load, the rotation speed and the operating environment. Proper mounting calls for precise alignment and the right lubricant, whether grease or oil. Internal clearance is set through the cone and cup, and getting it too loose or too tight can shorten service life. In contaminated areas, consider additional seals or protective covers.
Interchangeability with other brands such as Timken, FAG, NSK or NTN is possible when the inner diameter, outer diameter and width match. However, the suffix matters because contact angle or heat treatment may differ. To be sure, compare the complete part number, not just the dimensions.
If you need this SKF bearing or a possible equivalent, send the full part number to our team by WhatsApp or email. We will quote it and help you confirm the correct component for your equipment. We also supply other power transmission and maintenance products, and we manufacture split plummer block housings, roller chains and sheaves.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I identify the tapered roller bearing I need?
- Look for the part number engraved on the bearing or on the equipment plate. Write down every letter and number, including suffixes. With that information we can quote you and check for an equivalent. If the part number is unreadable, send us a photo and the main measurements.
- What does the suffix VE174 mean in the designation?
- Suffixes often point to design variants, heat treatment, internal clearance or lubrication. VE174 is a manufacturer-specific specification. To understand exactly what it means for your application, contact us with the full part number and we will provide the technical details.
- Is this SKF bearing interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, provided the standardized dimensions match: inner diameter, outer diameter and width. Brands like Timken, FAG or NSK may offer equivalents. Still, check the suffix because the contact angle or clearance can differ. If you are unsure, send us the part number and we will advise you.
