NACHI 33115J Tapered Roller Bearing

NACHI 33115J Tapered Roller Bearing

The NACHI 33115J is a precision metric tapered roller bearing designed to carry combined radial and axial loads efficiently. With a bore diameter of 75 mm, outer diameter of 125 mm, and an overall width of 37 mm (cone width 37 mm, cup width 29 mm), this bearing conforms to ISO dimension standards and is a direct interchange for equivalent metric tapered roller bearings from other manufacturers.

Design & Construction

Manufactured by NACHI – one of Japan’s leading bearing producers – the 33115J 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 inner ring (cone) and outer ring (cup), 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. The very steep contact angle design maximises axial load capacity, making it ideal for applications where thrust loads are predominant or where both radial and heavy axial loads act simultaneously.

Performance

Rated for a basic dynamic load capacity of 186.0 kN and a static load capacity of 280.0 kN, this bearing delivers dependable combined-load support and long calculated service life under correct operating conditions. Permissible speeds reach 3,000 rpm with grease lubrication and 4,000 rpm with oil lubrication. The separable design – where the cone (inner ring with roller and cage assembly) and cup (outer ring) can be mounted independently – simplifies installation, allows adjustment of internal clearance or preload, and facilitates maintenance.
