Timken 56650 Tapered Roller Bearing Single Cup Steel 6.5″ OD

Description

Product Overview

The Timken 56650 tapered roller bearing is a single‑cup design engineered for demanding power‑transmission applications. Constructed from high‑alloy steel, the bearing offers exceptional strength, wear resistance, and heat tolerance, ensuring long‑term reliability even under heavy loads. With a straight outside diameter of 6.5 inches and a width of 1.0625 inches, the bearing provides a robust interface for connecting rotating shafts to stationary housings. Its open configuration permits in‑place lubrication, reducing maintenance downtime and extending service intervals. The bearing is rated for operating temperatures ranging from –54 °C to 120 °C, making it suitable for a wide variety of industrial environments.

Usage

This bearing excels in applications where both radial and axial forces must be managed simultaneously. Typical installations include gearboxes, motor assemblies, conveyor systems, and heavy‑duty agricultural equipment. The single‑cup outer ring is designed to mate with inner‑ring cone assemblies (sold separately), allowing engineers to customize bearing configurations for specific load requirements. Its steel construction tolerates shock loads and vibration, making it a reliable choice for mining machinery, construction equipment, and high‑speed industrial fans. The bearing’s temperature range also supports use in refrigerated processing plants and high‑temperature forging operations.
