Pressed into a load wheel hub, this bearing cup forms the hardened outer race of a tapered roller bearing, giving the rollers a smooth surface to ride against as the wheel carries the radial and thrust loads of a full pallet. A pitted or spalled race means the whole bearing is due, since the cup and cone wear as a matched set and are ground as a pair.
The bearing cup is the hardened outer race of a tapered roller bearing, pressed into a load wheel hub to give the rollers a smooth, load-bearing surface to ride against as the wheel turns. It carries the radial and thrust loads a lift truck load wheel sees under a full pallet.
A cup wears as a matched set with its cone and roller assembly, so a pitted or spalled race means the whole bearing is due, and a fresh cup restores the tight, quiet rotation a worn one loses. Because a tapered cup and cone are ground as a pair, replace the two together rather than running an old cone against a new cup. Match the cup's outside diameter to the hub bore, since a press-fit race must seat fully to run true.
