The TIMKEN TTC series tapered roller bearing handles combined radial and axial loads in one direction. Its tapered roller design suits gearboxes, machine shafts, and transmission equipment where precise shaft guidance and high load capacity are required. MR supplies this line to industrial customers across the US, Canada, Mexico, and South America.

The part number breaks down into three parts: the leading T identifies the TIMKEN tapered roller family, the following number defines the size, and the suffix letters indicate construction variants. For example, in T163XW, T is the family, 163 is the size, and XW is the suffix. When requesting a quote, provide the complete designation as shown on the part or drawing.

These bearings are used in gearboxes, transmission shafts, road machinery, material handling equipment, and conveyor rollers. They also appear in food processing and process plants where firm axial guidance is needed. The tapered design tolerates shaft deflection and combined loads better than rigid bearings, making them common in power transmission with variable forces.

Selecting and mounting a tapered roller bearing requires knowing the radial and axial loads, rotation speed, and lubrication type. The inner ring is typically mounted with an interference fit, and axial clearance must be controlled—too tight causes overheating, too loose leads to noise and premature wear. Proper alignment between housing and shaft and effective sealing are essential. Lubrication can be grease or oil depending on the equipment.

Tapered roller bearings are interchangeable between manufacturers by series number and dimensions, not by brand. To find an equivalent, compare bore diameter, outer diameter, total width, and cone angle. This dimensional approach ensures a compatible replacement regardless of the original brand. Send us your part number or mounting dimensions, and our team will suggest suitable options.
