A TIMKEN EH series tapered roller cone is the inner assembly of a tapered roller bearing: it carries the rollers and cage and must be matched with its cup to work as a complete bearing. This design handles radial and axial loads at the same time, which is why it appears in industrial machinery, conveying equipment and gear systems. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you confirm the right cone for the job.

The code tells you what you are looking at. The E stands for a high-capacity tapered roller design, the H for a particular cone geometry, and the number that follows, as in EH220749, sets the size. Reading the designation this way makes it easier to search catalogs and interchange lists, but a correct selection still starts with the full part number and a clear idea of the application.

These cones show up in gearboxes, drive shafts, road machinery, earthmoving equipment, mills, presses and roller systems in the steel and paper industries, as well as in automotive and railway work where reliability and load capacity matter. Their geometry lets them take radial and axial loads simultaneously, so they fit many positions where a single bearing has to do both jobs.

During assembly, check that the cone and cup are aligned; too much misalignment shortens bearing life. Lubrication should match speed and operating temperature, whether grease or oil is used. Sealing also matters to keep dust and particles out, especially in industrial environments. Finally, verify axial clearance so the bearing runs smoothly and without vibration.

Tapered roller cones are identified by part number, and that number can differ from one manufacturer to another. Even when dimensions line up, tolerances and load capacity should be checked before substituting one brand for another. TIMKEN part numbers often have equivalents, but it is worth having a specialist confirm compatibility before you install anything.
