NACHI 71455/71750 Tapered Roller Bearing

NACHI 71455/71750 Tapered Roller Bearing

The NACHI 71455/71750 is a precision imperial (inch-series) tapered roller bearing assembly consisting of cone (inner ring) 71455 and cup (outer ring) 71750. Designed to carry combined radial and axial loads efficiently, this bearing features a bore diameter of 115.087 mm, outer diameter of 190.5 mm, and an overall assembly width of 47.625 mm (cone width 49.213 mm, cup width 34.925 mm). As an inch-series bearing, it is a direct interchange for equivalent imperial tapered roller bearings from other manufacturers including Timken, Koyo, and NTN.

Design & Construction

Manufactured by NACHI – one of Japan’s leading bearing producers – the 71455/71750 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.

Performance

Rated for a basic dynamic load capacity of 303.0 kN and a static load capacity of 483.0 kN, this bearing delivers dependable combined-load support and long calculated service life under correct operating conditions. Permissible speeds reach 1,900 rpm with grease lubrication and 2,600 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. Imperial tapered roller bearings are fully interchangeable between manufacturers of the same designation, allowing flexibility in sourcing and replacement.
