The cone is the removable inner race of a tapered roller bearing: it includes the inner ring, the rollers and the cage. It is combined with a cup (outer race) to form the complete assembly. The TIMKEN LM series is used in applications with combined radial and axial loads and moderate misalignment. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand and advises you on choosing the correct cone for your equipment.
The LM series designation is read as an alphanumeric code that identifies the size and characteristics of the cone. In the example LM48549X, the letters LM correspond to the dimension series, while the following numbers define the bore diameter and width. The suffix X indicates a design variant within the same series. To select the cone, you must always cross-reference the code with the corresponding cup, since both form an inseparable pair.
These cones are used in equipment that supports simultaneous radial and axial loads, such as gearboxes, drive shafts, road machinery, earthmoving equipment, conveyor belts and kiln rollers. In Argentine industry they appear in maintenance of cement, steel and food plants and in the agro-industrial sector. They are also common in construction machinery and large pumping equipment.
To select the correct cone, take into account the radial and axial load it will support, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. Mounting requires rigorous cleanliness, adequate lubrication and precise adjustment of the axial clearance, which is regulated with shims or nuts. Alignment between cone and cup is critical: excessive misalignment shortens service life. Check the sealing to prevent contaminant ingress and verify the condition of the shaft and housing before installing.
Tapered roller bearings are manufactured under international standards that allow interchangeability between brands. A cone from one brand can be combined with the cup of another if they respect the same dimensions and tolerances, although it is advisable to keep the original assembly. When requesting a quote, provide the complete cone code and, if possible, the cup code, to ensure compatibility. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies TIMKEN as an official brand and can offer you equivalent alternatives.
If you need a TIMKEN LM series tapered roller cone, write to us on WhatsApp with the exact code shown on your equipment or on the old bearing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we will quote it promptly and, if you are looking for a variant that is not listed, we will process it with the model you indicate. We can also advise you on mounting and lubrication so that the bearing performs as it should.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a cone and a cup in a tapered roller bearing?
- The cone is the inner race with the rollers and the cage; the cup is the outer race. They are mounted separately and form an assembly. To replace a bearing, both are generally changed, but they can be purchased separately if the exact code is known.
- How do I know which TIMKEN cone my machine needs?
- Read the code engraved on the old cone or on the cup. If it is not visible, measure the bore diameter and width, and consult us on WhatsApp. With that data or the code, we will indicate the corresponding TIMKEN reference and quote it for you.
- What lubricant is suitable for a tapered roller bearing?
- It depends on speed, temperature and load. For most industrial applications, lithium or lithium complex grease is used, or oil if the system is circulating. Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendation and maintain a constant lubricant film.
