SKF tapered roller bearings in the T4EB 240/VE174 and T4EB 240/VE679 series are single-row units that handle combined radial and axial loads in one direction. The tapered raceways and guided rollers create linear contact, which distributes load more effectively. They suit applications requiring precise, rigid motion, such as gearboxes, machine tool spindles and transmission equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries.
The part number breaks down into three parts. T4EB identifies the single-row tapered roller series with metric dimensions. The number 240 is the size or assembly code. The VE section, followed by a number, marks an execution variant often tied to contact angle or mounting. For example, T4EB 240/VE174 and T4EB 240/VE679 share the same base but differ in that final variant. Reading the code this way helps you pick the exact replacement without confusion.
These bearings appear in metalworking, food processing, cement and mining operations where loads vary and reliability matters. Common equipment includes speed reducers, machine tool spindles, process pumps, industrial fans and gear transmission systems. Automotive and railway applications use them in wheel hubs and axles. Their ability to take combined loads makes them useful where space is tight.
Selection depends on radial and axial load, rotation speed and environmental conditions. Mounting requires precise alignment and correct fits on the shaft and in the housing, because these bearings are sensitive to misalignment. Use the lubrication specified by the manufacturer, and ensure sealing protects against contaminants. In demanding applications, check internal clearance and use suitable mounting tools to avoid damaging the raceways.
Tapered roller bearings are made to international standards that allow interchangeability between brands when main dimensions and contact angle match. However, not all codes are direct equivalents: execution variants may differ in tolerances or edge design. Before substituting one brand for another, verify dimensions and operating conditions.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the designation T4EB 240/VE174 mean?
- T4EB is the single-row tapered roller series. 240 is the assembly size, and VE174 is a specific execution variant. Knowing these codes helps you select the exact replacement.
- How do I choose the correct bearing for my application?
- Consider radial and axial load, speed, available space and environmental conditions. Also verify the fit on the shaft and in the housing. If you have doubts, send your equipment data and we will advise you.
- Are SKF bearings interchangeable with other brands?
- Tapered roller bearings generally follow international standards that allow interchangeability if dimensions and contact angle match. But execution variants may differ. Consult us before replacing with another brand.
