Crown Load Wheel Thrust Bearing T387 – BR-265

Axial load on a Crown load wheel is carried by this thrust bearing, which uses tapered rollers to take force along the wheel axis rather than across it. Identified by manufacturer reference T387, it sits between the wheel and its mounting and absorbs the side thrust generated as a loaded truck turns and tracks, keeping the wheel running true and shielding the radial bearings from the end loading they are not built to take.

Hardened, precision-ground bearing steel gives the rollers and races the durability for continuous material-handling duty, where the wheel sees thrust on every turn throughout a shift. As a thrust bearing wears, the wheel gains axial play, which lets it cock under side load and drives wear into the radial bearings and the wheel itself, so a fresh thrust bearing restores square, true running.

Fit this thrust bearing in Crown load wheel assemblies that call for the T387 reference, and match the bearing bore and race dimensions to the assembly, since a thrust bearing sized to a different wheel will not seat and preload correctly.
