The TIMKEN 30203 tapered roller bearing (17x40x13.25 mm) is a precision-engineered cone & cup set designed for combined radial and axial loads. Its durable design and high-grade steel make it ideal for wheel hubs, transmissions, and industrial machinery.
Overview
The TIMKEN 30203 is a single-row tapered roller bearing (cone & cup assembly) featuring a bore diameter of 17 mm, an outside diameter of 40 mm, and a total width of 13.25 mm.
The tapered geometry allows this bearing to sustain radial and thrust loads simultaneously — a signature advantage of Timken’s precision manufacturing.
Key Features and Benefits
Tapered design: handles combined radial and one-directional axial forces efficiently.
Cone & Cup pairing: ensures precise alignment and controlled internal clearance.
High reliability: premium heat-treated steel extends lifespan and fatigue resistance.
Separable components: simplify assembly, inspection, and lubrication.
Cross-compatibility: matches both metric (17x40x13.25 mm) and inch equivalents, simplifying international sourcing.
