Timken Tapered Roller Bearing 13836 Alloy Steel Painted Finish

Description

Product Overview

The Timken 13836 tapered roller bearing is engineered for the most demanding industrial environments. Constructed from high‑alloy steel, the bearing provides exceptional strength and wear resistance, while a durable painted exterior protects against corrosion and visual wear. The open configuration allows grease to be applied directly to the rolling elements, ensuring consistent lubrication and extending service intervals. With an outside diameter of 2.56 inches and a compact 3 × 2.9 × 0.5‑inch package, this bearing fits a wide range of shaft and housing designs. It meets ABEC specifications for precision and is compatible with standard grease lubricants, making installation straightforward for maintenance teams. The bearing supports both radial and axial loads, delivering reliable performance in gearboxes, motor assemblies, and heavy‑duty equipment where space constraints and load direction vary.

Usage

Designed for use in industrial and scientific applications, the 13836 tapered roller bearing excels in environments where temperature extremes and heavy loads are common. It operates reliably from –54 °C to 120 °C, making it suitable for cold‑storage facilities, high‑temperature processing plants, and outdoor machinery exposed to harsh weather. The bearing’s ability to handle combined radial and axial forces makes it a preferred choice for gear shafts, conveyor drives, and pump housings. Installation is simple: the outer cup connects to the stationary cone, while the inner ring (sold separately) completes the assembly, allowing technicians to customize the bearing to specific shaft diameters and load requirements. Its open design facilitates on‑site greasing, reducing downtime and maintenance costs for factories, workshops, and field service operations.

FAQ

What size bearing do I need for my equipment?

The 13836 model has an outside diameter of 2.56 inches and a width of 0.5 inches. It is typically used as the outer cup in a single‑cup tapered roller bearing assembly. Verify the shaft diameter and load requirements of your equipment, then select the appropriate inner ring to complete the bearing set.

Can this bearing be used with oil lubrication?

While the bearing is designed for grease lubrication, it can operate with oil if a compatible oil‑type grease is applied. However, grease is recommended because it stays in place better under high‑load conditions and provides superior protection against wear.

What is the temperature range for safe operation?

The bearing is rated for continuous operation from –54 °C (‑65 °F) up to 120 °C (250 °F). This wide range makes it suitable for both low‑temperature refrigeration systems and high‑temperature processing equipment.

How do I install the bearing correctly?

First, clean the mounting surface and apply a thin layer of grease to the bearing’s inner race. Align the outer cup with the cone, then press the assembly together using a bearing press or appropriate tooling. Ensure the bearing is seated fully and that the grease is evenly distributed before the machine is put into service.

Is there a warranty or support program?

Timken provides a standard limited warranty covering material and workmanship defects. In addition, the company offers technical support, replacement parts, and maintenance advice through its worldwide service network, ensuring you have the resources needed to keep your equipment running smoothly.
