High‑Load 33000 Series Tapered Roller Bearings for Automotive Transmissions & Hubs

Automotive drivetrains require bearings that can withstand combined radial and axial loads while minimizing friction losses. The 33000 series tapered roller bearings (TRBs) are engineered for wheel hubs, transmissions, and differentials in passenger cars and light trucks.

33000 Series Overview

  • Bore Range: 17 mm – 85 mm

  • Cone & Cup Sets: Matched rings for optimized preload

  • Materials: Bearing steel (SAE 52100), optional stainless

Key Features & Benefits

  1. High Combined Load Capacity

    • Handles both thrust and radial loads up to 50 kN.

  2. Precision Preload

    • Controlled internal clearance for improved torque response.

  3. Sealing & Shielding

    • Rubber seals for wheel‑end protection; metal shields for gearbox use.

  4. Heat‑Treated Races

    • Enhanced fatigue life under stop‑start conditions.

Automotive Applications

  • Wheel Hub Assemblies

  • Manual & Dual‑Clutch Transmissions

  • Rear‑Axle Differentials

  • CV Joint Supports
