Koyo 25590/25520 Tapered Roller Bearing

Koyo 25590/25520 Tapered Roller Bearing

The Koyo 25590/25520 is a precision imperial (inch-series) tapered roller bearing assembly consisting of cone (inner ring) 25590 and cup (outer ring) 25520. Designed to carry combined radial and axial loads efficiently, this bearing features a bore diameter of 45.618 mm, outer diameter of 82.931 mm, and an overall assembly width of 23.813 mm (cone width 25.4 mm, cup width 19.05 mm). As an inch-series bearing, it is a direct interchange for equivalent imperial tapered roller bearings from other manufacturers including Timken, NACHI, and NTN.

Design & Construction

Manufactured by Koyo (JTEKT Corporation) – one of Japan’s leading bearing producers – the 25590/25520 is precision-ground from high-carbon chromium bearing steel (AISI 52100 / JIS SUJ2), heat-treated to achieve optimum hardness and fatigue resistance. The tapered roller design features conical raceways on both the cone (inner ring) and cup (outer ring), with tapered rollers running between them. This geometry allows the bearing to support combined radial and axial loads simultaneously, with the contact angle determining the ratio of axial to radial load capacity. Imperial-series tapered roller bearings are the most widely used tapered roller configuration worldwide, with extensive application in automotive, agricultural, and general industrial equipment.
