Single Flanged Cups (Metric)

What Are Single Flanged Cups (Metric)?

Single Flanged Cups (Metric) refer to the outer rings of metric-sized tapered roller bearings that incorporate an integral flange. The flange enables precise axial location in housing assemblies, simplifying mounting and providing added structural stability. These cups are essential for completing a tapered roller bearing assembly when paired with a matching inner ring.

Design and Functionality

These metric flanged cups are manufactured to ISO standards and designed for demanding applications that require both radial and axial load handling. The flange ensures the cup is seated securely within the housing and restricts axial movement, reducing installation complexity and improving bearing reliability.

Key Features

• Integrated flange for precise axial positioning and retention
• ISO metric dimensions ensure global compatibility
• Heat-treated, precision-ground raceways for optimal roller guidance
• Compatible with high-load, high-speed environments
• Interchangeable with equivalent Timken components

Typical Applications

Single Flanged Cups (Metric) are commonly used in:

• Heavy-duty gearboxes and transmissions
• Automotive and truck axle systems
• Agricultural and construction machinery
• Railway bogies and rolling stock components

Interchangeability

These flanged cups conform to standardized metric sizes and are fully interchangeable with parts from major bearing manufacturers such as Timken, ensuring sourcing flexibility and reduced lead times for replacement parts.

Advantages of Flanged Cups

The integral flange reduces the need for additional hardware or components to secure the cup in place, improving installation efficiency and reducing costs. It also contributes to better bearing alignment and system durability, particularly in high-load or high-speed applications.

Conclusion

Engineered for precision and durability, Single Flanged Cups (Metric) offer a reliable solution for applications requiring secure axial placement and robust performance. Their compatibility with global standards and interchangeability with top-tier brands make them a preferred choice across industries.
