NACHI HM212049/HM212011 Tapered Roller Bearing

NACHI HM212049/HM212011 Tapered Roller Bearing

The NACHI HM212049/HM212011 is a precision imperial (inch-series) tapered roller bearing assembly consisting of cone (inner ring) HM212049 and cup (outer ring) HM212011. Designed to carry combined radial and axial loads efficiently, this bearing features a bore diameter of 66.675 mm, outer diameter of 122.238 mm, and an overall assembly width of 38.1 mm (cone width 38.354 mm, cup width 29.718 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 HM212049/HM212011 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 191.0 kN and a static load capacity of 249.0 kN, this bearing delivers dependable combined-load support and long calculated service life under correct operating conditions. Permissible speeds reach 3,200 rpm with grease lubrication and 4,300 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.
