Single Cones (Metric)

What Are Single Cones (Metric)?

Single cones (metric) are the inner ring subassemblies of tapered roller bearings manufactured to ISO metric dimensions. Each cone includes the inner ring itself, a full complement of tapered rollers, and a one-piece pressed steel cage. This cage ensures even spacing of the rollers and prevents skewing during operation, enabling high load-carrying capacity and efficient rotation.

Technical Structure

These cones must be paired with compatible outer rings (also known as cups) to form a complete tapered roller bearing assembly. The matched set handles combined radial and axial loads, with the metric sizing allowing standardized global compatibility across machinery and transport systems.

Key Features

• One-piece pressed steel cage for robust roller retention and stability
• Precision-ground inner ring raceway and rollers
• Designed to support high radial and axial loads
• Produced to ISO metric dimensions for global compatibility

Typical Applications

Metric single cones are commonly used in:

• Industrial gearboxes
• Automotive transmissions and differentials
• Heavy machinery and equipment
• Railroad and transportation systems

Interchangeability

Single Cones (Metric) are dimensionally and functionally interchangeable with equivalent products from leading global brands, including Timken. This allows for seamless replacement and integration in both OEM and aftermarket applications.

Why Choose Metric Single Cones?

Metric tapered roller bearing cones provide a globally standardized solution for high-performance bearing systems. Their precise geometry, high load capacity, and broad interchangeability make them an ideal choice for engineers and purchasing teams seeking durability and reliability.

Conclusion

Whether you’re replacing a worn bearing or designing a new system, Single Cones (Metric) deliver the quality, interchangeability, and load-handling capabilities required in today’s demanding applications. Trusted by industries worldwide, they remain a staple in modern mechanical systems.
