Timken64450W-3Tapered Roller Bearing Cone 4-1/4 in Bore, Class 3 Precision, Single Row

Product Description

What this part is:

A Timken 64450W-3 tapered roller bearing cone: the inner ring complete with its roller set and cage, with a 4-1/4 in bore. Cone only. A cone runs against a matching cup, which is a separate part number.

Decoding the designation:

The 64450 base number places the cone in Timken’s inch tapered roller programme. The trailing *3, also written -3 or #3, is Timken precision Class 3: a tighter bore and running accuracy grade than standard tolerance.

What these specs mean in practice:

A tapered roller cone carries radial and one-direction axial load through the same rollers, and the roller taper is what converts radial load into the thrust reaction. Class 3 controls bore tolerance and raceway runout, so the bearing can set shaft position rather than only support it, and the tighter bore changes the journal diameter the cone is fitted to.

Quantity and configuration:

One cone, single row.

Fitting notes:

The cone is an interference fit on the shaft and is pressed on the inner ring face only, never through the rollers. Running clearance or preload is set against the mating cup on assembly, measured at the shaft.

Interchange guidance:

A 64450 cone at standard tolerance rather than Class 3 is a related size, since the precision grade is the substance of this part number. Cone and cup raceway angles are matched between the two halves of a given Timken pairing.
