A tapered roller cone is the inner half of the bearing: inner ring, rollers and cage together in one unit. It only works as a set with the cup, the outer race, which is fitted separately into the housing. The TIMKEN LM series covers duties where radial and axial forces arrive at the same time and where some misalignment is present. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and helps you pin down the right cone for the job.
Read the code from left to right and it tells you what you are holding. Take LM48549X: LM is the dimension series, the digits that follow set bore and width, and the X marks a design variant inside that series. A cone never travels alone, so always pair the code with its matching cup before you order.
Where you will find them: gearboxes, drive shafts, road and earthmoving machinery, conveyor systems, kiln rollers. Maintenance crews in cement, steel, food processing and agriculture run into them regularly, as do those working on construction equipment and large pumps.
Selection comes down to the radial and axial load, the running speed and the environment around the bearing. Fit them clean, lubricate them properly and set the axial clearance with shims or nuts. Cone and cup must line up; too much misalignment eats into service life. Look at the seals for contamination and inspect shaft and housing before anything goes back in.
Because tapered rollers are built to international standards, cones and cups interchange between brands when dimensions and tolerances match, though keeping the original pair together is the safer habit. Send us the full cone code, and the cup code if you have it, so we can confirm compatibility. We supply TIMKEN and can point you to equivalent options.
Have the code from the equipment or from the worn cone? Message us on WhatsApp with that exact number. We will work the quote from the model you give us, including variants that are not listed, and we can walk you through mounting and lubrication.

Frequently asked questions
- How is a cone different from a cup?
- The cone carries the inner ring, rollers and cage; the cup is the outer race. Each is mounted on its own side of the bearing. Replacements are usually done as a pair, but either piece can be bought alone when the code is known.
- How do I find the TIMKEN cone my machine takes?
- Look for the code stamped on the old cone or on the cup. If it has worn away, measure the bore diameter and the width and send those figures to us on WhatsApp. We will come back with the TIMKEN reference and a quote.
- Which lubricant should I use?
- Speed, temperature and load decide it. Lithium or lithium complex grease covers most industrial setups, while circulating systems call for oil. Stay with the equipment manufacturer's recommendation and keep the film intact.
