LD-402 Chrome Steel Tapered Roller Bearing 30200 30300 Single Row Heavy Duty
LD-402 chrome steel tapered roller bearings in 30200/30300/32200 series. Single row cone and cup assembly, handles combined radial and axial loads. GCr15 steel, heavy duty industrial and automotive applications.
Tapered roller bearings are designed to handle combined radial and axial loads simultaneously, with tapered rollers arranged between a tapered inner ring (cone) and tapered outer ring (cup). The LD-402 series features precision-ground tapered rolling elements that distribute load evenly across the roller length, making these bearings ideal for heavy-duty applications where both radial and thrust forces are present. The cone and cup are separable components, allowing for easy mounting, disassembly, and adjustment of bearing preload.
The LD-402 range includes the 30200, 30300, 32200, 32300, and 32000 series, offering a comprehensive selection of load capacities and sizes. The 30200 series is the standard single-row tapered roller bearing with medium duty capacity, while the 30300 series provides higher load ratings with wider rollers and steeper angles. The 32200 and 32300 series are double-row configurations that offer even greater radial and axial load capacity for the most demanding applications. Bore diameters range from 10mm to 200mm, with outer diameters from 30mm to 360mm.
Manufactured from high carbon chromium bearing steel (GCr15/SUJ2) with through-hardened raceways and rollers, the LD-402 series delivers exceptional durability and wear resistance under heavy load conditions. Case-carburized steel options are available for applications requiring enhanced impact resistance and fatigue life. The stamped steel cage provides reliable roller guidance and spacing, while machined brass cages are available for high-temperature or heavy-shock applications. Surface treatments include black oxide and phosphate coating for corrosion resistance.
Tapered roller bearings are commonly used in opposed pairs or multi-row arrangements to accommodate axial loads in both directions. Proper preload adjustment is critical for achieving optimal bearing life, stiffness, and running accuracy. The LD-402 series is manufactured to ABEC 1 through ABEC 3 precision standards, ensuring consistent quality and interchangeability. Typical applications include automotive wheel hubs, differential gears, transmission shafts, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and heavy industrial gearboxes.

FAQ
What is the difference between the cone and cup in a tapered roller bearing?
A tapered roller bearing consists of two main separable components: the cone (inner ring assembly) and the cup (outer ring). The cone includes the inner ring, tapered rollers, and cage assembled together. The cup is the outer ring that the rollers roll against. This separable design allows each component to be installed independently, and the bearing clearance or preload is adjusted by controlling how far the cone is seated into the cup.
How do I properly mount and preload a tapered roller bearing?
Tapered roller bearings are typically mounted in opposed pairs (face-to-face or back-to-back) to handle axial loads in both directions. Proper preload is achieved by tightening the mounting nut or adjusting shims until the desired preload is reached. Too little preload causes play and reduced stiffness, while excessive preload leads to overheating and premature failure. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended preload procedure and torque specifications for your specific application.
What is the difference between 30200 and 30300 series tapered roller bearings?
The 30200 series is the standard medium-duty tapered roller bearing with a contact angle of approximately 12-15 degrees. The 30300 series is the heavy-duty version with wider rollers, a steeper contact angle (approximately 25-30 degrees), and significantly higher radial and axial load capacity. Both series have the same bore diameter for a given bearing number, but the 30300 series has a larger outer diameter and wider width. Choose the 30300 series for applications with heavier loads or higher shock conditions.
Can tapered roller bearings handle thrust loads in both directions?
A single-row tapered roller bearing can only handle axial (thrust) load in one direction. For bidirectional axial loads, two tapered roller bearings must be mounted in opposition, either face-to-face (DF arrangement) or back-to-back (DB arrangement). Back-to-back mounting provides greater moment rigidity and is more common in wheel hub applications. Double-row tapered roller bearings (32200/32300 series) are designed to handle both radial and bidirectional axial loads in a single assembly.
