TIMKEN A6162 41.275x8.730 mm - Tapered Roller Bearing Cup

TIMKEN A6162 41.275x8.730 mm - Tapered Roller Bearing Cup

TIMKEN A6162 is an outer ring, known as a cup, for a single-row tapered roller bearing from the TIMKEN A6000 inch series. The cup has an outside diameter D of 41.275 mm and a width C of 8.730 mm. A6162 is not a complete bearing; it is the separate outer race designed to operate with a compatible TIMKEN cone. The A6162 cup can be used with several A6000-series cones.

Technical data

The dimensions 41.275x8.730 mm describe the outside diameter D and width C of the A6162 cup itself. They are not the complete dimensions of an assembled tapered roller bearing.

What does TIMKEN A6162 mean?

TIMKEN - manufacturer of the bearing component.

A6162 - specific TIMKEN part number identifying an outer bearing cup from the A6000 tapered roller bearing family.

In the TIMKEN tapered roller bearing system, a complete TS single-row bearing consists of two principal separable components:

Cone - the inner ring assembly including tapered rollers and cage.

Cup - the separate outer ring containing the outer raceway.

A6162 is the cup component.

It should therefore not be described as a complete bearing, and a shaft bore diameter should not be assigned to A6162 itself.

TIMKEN A6162 dimensions

TIMKEN specifies the following principal dimensions for the A6162 cup:

D = 41.275 mm

C = 8.730 mm

where:

• D = 41.275 mm - cup outside diameter

• C = 8.730 mm - cup width

In inch dimensions:

• D = 1.6250 in

• C = 0.3437 in

When identifying A6162, it is important to distinguish the dimensions of the cup itself from the dimensions of a complete cone and cup bearing assembly.

Construction of TIMKEN A6162

A6162 is the outer ring of a tapered roller bearing.

Its internal surface forms the outer raceway designed to operate with the tapered rollers of a compatible cone assembly.

In a complete bearing:

• A6162 forms the outer raceway

• the compatible cone provides the inner ring

• tapered rollers are incorporated into the cone assembly

• the cage separates and guides the tapered rollers

The cone and cup are separable components.

This separable construction is a characteristic feature of TIMKEN TS single-row tapered roller bearings.

A6162 is not a complete bearing

This is one of the most important points when ordering this product.

TIMKEN A6162 is the outer cup only.

It does not include:

• inner ring

• tapered rollers

• cage

• complete cone assembly

If a complete tapered roller bearing is required, the correct cone used with A6162 must also be identified.

The cone should not be selected solely from the outside diameter of the A6162 cup.

TIMKEN A6162 and A6062

One officially catalogued TIMKEN combination is:

A6062 / A6162

In this bearing set:

• cone - A6062

• cup - A6162

• bore diameter d - 15.875 mm

• outside diameter D - 41.275 mm

• overall bearing width T - 11.905 mm

• cone width B - 11.153 mm

• cup width C - 8.730 mm

The 15.875 mm bore belongs to the complete bearing configuration using the A6062 cone. It is not a bore dimension of the A6162 cup itself.

TIMKEN A6162 and A6067

TIMKEN also catalogues the combination:

A6067 / A6162

This arrangement uses the same A6162 cup with a different cone.

For A6067 / A6162:

• cone - A6067

• cup - A6162

• bore diameter d - 16.993 mm

• outside diameter D - 41.275 mm

• overall bearing width T - 11.905 mm

This demonstrates why a single bore diameter cannot be assigned to A6162.

The bore diameter depends on the cone used with the cup.

TIMKEN A6162 and A6075

Another TIMKEN combination is:

A6075 / A6162

For this set:

• cone - A6075

• cup - A6162

• bore diameter d - 19.050 mm

• outside diameter D - 41.275 mm

• overall bearing width T - 11.905 mm

• cone width B - 11.153 mm

• cup width C - 8.730 mm

The same A6162 outer cup can therefore be incorporated into bearing sets with different bore diameters.

Which cones can be used with TIMKEN A6162?

Official TIMKEN data confirms, among others, the following combinations:

When ordering, it is therefore important to determine whether the requirement is for:

• A6162 cup only

• compatible cone only

• complete cone and cup set

A6062 should not automatically be assumed to be the only cone used with A6162.

TIMKEN A6162 vs A6157

A6162 and A6157 belong to the same general bearing family but are different cups.

A6162 has an outside diameter of:

41.275 mm

A6157 has an outside diameter of:

39.992 mm

They are therefore not the same component.

For example, TIMKEN catalogues both:

A6075 / A6157

and

A6075 / A6162

The same A6075 cone can therefore be paired with different cups to form bearing arrangements with different outside dimensions.

How does the complete tapered roller bearing work?

When the correct cone and cup are assembled, they form a single-row tapered roller bearing.

The rollers and raceways have tapered geometry. This enables the complete bearing to accommodate radial loads together with axial loads acting in one direction.

For this reason, single-row tapered roller bearings are often arranged in pairs or other suitable configurations when axial loads must be supported in both directions.

A6162 alone does not function as a complete rolling bearing. It must operate with the correct cone assembly.

Alternative designations and search references

Natural identification and search references include:

• TIMKEN A6162

• A6162 TIMKEN

• Timken A6162 cup

• A6162 cup

• A6162 bearing cup

• TIMKEN A6162 outer ring

• TIMKEN A6162 outer race

• A6162 outer race

• A6162 tapered roller bearing cup

• TIMKEN A6162 41.275 mm

• A6162 41.275x8.730 mm

• A6062/A6162

• A6067/A6162

• A6075/A6162

The terms cone and cup are particularly important when identifying TIMKEN tapered roller bearing components.

How to select the correct cone for A6162

A cone should not be selected solely from the A6162 cup designation.

Check:

• original cone part number

• required shaft bore diameter

• complete bearing set designation

• bearing arrangement

• required operating parameters

A6162 can form part of more than one catalogued TIMKEN cone and cup combination.

If both the inner and outer components of the original bearing are available, the part numbers on both components should be identified before ordering replacements.

Selection and interchangeability

When replacing TIMKEN A6162, verify:

• A6162 designation on the outer ring

• outside diameter D of 41.275 mm

• cup width C of 8.730 mm

• designation of the mating cone

• required shaft diameter of the complete bearing

• overall width of the complete bearing assembly

• load conditions

• bearing arrangement

A similar outside diameter does not automatically confirm interchangeability.

For TIMKEN tapered roller bearings, correct identification of both the cone and cup numbers is essential when selecting the complete bearing assembly.

Applications

A6162 is intended for use as the outer cup in compatible TIMKEN A6000-series single-row tapered roller bearing assemblies.

The exact application depends on the cone used with the cup and the design of the machine or equipment.

Without confirmed equipment or OEM documentation, A6162 should not be assigned to a specific:

• vehicle

• wheel hub

• gearbox

• axle

• transmission

• industrial machine

• reducer

solely on the basis of the A6162 designation.

Installation of TIMKEN A6162

Before installation:

• verify the A6162 cup designation

• verify the mating cone designation

• clean the housing

• inspect the seating surface

• verify the required fit

• protect the raceway against impact and contamination

When pressing A6162 into a housing, mounting force should be applied directly to the outer ring.

Installation force should not be transmitted through the rollers of the assembled bearing.

After installation of the complete bearing arrangement, the adjustment and lubrication requirements specified for the particular application should be followed.
