This is the tapered roller bearing cone from Caterpillar’s 240-8240 bearing assembly — the inner ring complete with its tapered roller set and cage. The trailing -X is Caterpillar’s component suffix for the cone half of the assembly. The cup half carries the -Y suffix, and the bare number 240-8240 refers to the complete cone-and-cup assembly.
Cone only. Tapered roller bearings are separable by design, with the cup pressed into the housing and the cone onto the shaft.
240-8240: Caterpillar part number for the complete tapered roller bearing assembly.
-X: the cone, the inner ring with rollers and cage. This listing.
-Y: the cup, the outer ring, the other half of the assembly.
2408240X: the same number written without separators.
Caterpillar does not manufacture bearings. CAT-numbered bearings are built to Caterpillar’s specification by Timken, NTN and other makers, then carry a Caterpillar part number rather than the maker’s. They are classed as special order through Caterpillar dealers.
Bore: approximately 8-1/4 to 8-1/2 in.
Mating cup outside diameter: approximately 12-1/2 in.
New old stock, made in USA, with staining visible in the photographs. The staining is surface discolouration from long storage.
The cone mounts onto the shaft with an interference fit.
Tapered roller bearings carry no built-in internal clearance. Operating endplay or preload is created at assembly by how far the cone is drawn up against the cup.
Written forms: 240-8240-X, 2408240X, 240 8240 X, 2408240-X. Parent assembly: 240-8240 (2408240). Mating cup: 240-8240-Y (2408240Y).
