Timken47688-3Tapered Roller Bearing Cone 3-9/32″ Bore, Class 3 Precision, Inch TS Series, Cone Only

Product Description

What this part is:

A Timken 47688 single-row tapered roller bearing cone: the inner ring with its tapered rollers and cage retained as one unit, in Timken precision Class 3. Inch (imperial) series, TS single-row configuration. Cone only. The matching cup is the Timken 47620.

Decoding the designation:

47688 is the cone number and 47620 is the separate cup number; the two written together as 47688/47620 form the assembly designation. The trailing -3, also written *3 or #3, is Timken’s precision Class 3 mark, a tighter bore and outside-diameter tolerance grade than the standard Class 4 / Class K used on general-purpose inch tapered bearings.

What these specifications mean in practice:

Class 3 tightens the tolerance band on the cone bore and width, which holds shaft position more consistently across a batch of assemblies; that is why it appears on machine-tool spindles, precision gearboxes and aircraft wheel ends rather than on general industrial shafting. The tapered geometry carries heavy radial load together with thrust in one direction through a single raceway, and the K factor of 1.44 is the ratio Timken publishes for resolving that combined load.

Quantity and configuration:

Unit Quantity: 1 Pc. One cone assembly: inner ring, tapered rollers and cage. The 47620 cup is a separate part number.

Interchange guidance:

47688 is the industry cone number and is used unchanged across the inch tapered interchange. Cones 47679, 47680, 47686 and 47687 also run against the 47620 cup, differing in bore, width or precision grade. The 47688 also appears in the 47688/20629 assembly. A plain Timken 47688 is the same cone in the standard Class 4 / K tolerance grade.
