Bower A16 Tapered Roller Bearing Cone

The Bower A16 is a precision-engineered tapered roller bearing cone designed for demanding automotive wheel bearing applications. Manufactured by NTN-Bower, a leading producer of heavy-duty bearings with over a century of engineering excellence, this bearing component delivers reliable performance in both radial and thrust load applications.

Key Specifications:

• Bore diameter: 1.8100 inches
• Width: 0.4750 inches
• Fillet radius: 0.050 inches
• Material: Case carburized steel construction
• Design: Single-row tapered roller configuration

Tapered roller bearings feature conical rollers and raceways that meet at a common apex point, enabling them to efficiently handle combined radial and axial loads. The case carburization process creates a hardened outer surface while maintaining a softer, tougher core, significantly increasing durability and extending bearing service life. This cone component is typically paired with its corresponding cup to form a complete bearing assembly for wheel hub applications in passenger vehicles and light trucks.
