RKB tapered roller bearings are separable units made up of a cone (inner ring with rollers and cage) and a cup (outer ring). They are designed to withstand radial and axial loads in a single direction, so they are mounted in opposed pairs. They are used in applications where significant forces must be transmitted with shafts rotating at moderate speeds, such as transmission boxes, gearboxes, wheel hubs and industrial equipment in general.

The designation of these tapered bearings is read as a combination of two numbers separated by a slash: the first identifies the cone and the second the cup. For example, 368 A/362 A and 387 A/382 A are cone-cup pairs that RKB sells as a unit. The suffix A indicates a design variant within the series, generally associated with specific dimensions or tolerances. When requesting a quote, it is best to provide the complete code as it appears on the drawing or on the part, because each part is ordered separately if only the cone or only the cup needs to be replaced.

These bearings are used in industries in Argentina such as food, metallurgy, cement and mining, and in agriculture. They are found in gearboxes and gear cases, machine tool shafts, conveyor belt rollers, wheel hubs of road and agricultural equipment, and in general in any assembly where combined radial and axial loads must be absorbed with some misalignment. They are also found in process pumps and fans.

To correctly select a tapered bearing, you must take into account the radial and axial load it will withstand, the rotation speed and the type of lubrication. Mounting is done with a fit on the cone on the shaft and on the cup on the housing, and they must always be mounted in opposed pairs to cover both directions of axial load. The alignment between both bearings is critical: poor alignment generates parasitic loads and premature wear. Proper sealing and lubrication extend service life, especially in environments with dust or moisture.

As for equivalents, tapered roller bearings are identified by their numeric designation, which may vary depending on the manufacturer. If you have the code from another brand, it is best to send it along with the main dimensions (inner, outer and width diameter) to find interchangeability. MR Accesorios Industriales sells the RKB brand and can guide you on the equivalent reference within its line, without you needing to know the exact nomenclature.
