Product Description
Timken - Taper Roller Cup - 6.625" O.D.
Timken® Precision Taper Roller Bearing — 6 Variants
Timken taper roller bearing cups are the outer race of a taper roller bearing set — the component that seats in the housing bore and provides the outer raceway surface for the tapered rollers. Every Timken cup is precision-ground from premium bearing steel with surface finishes measured in micro-inches, ensuring full contact across the roller length for maximum load distribution and service life.
The cup is always paired with a matching Timken cone (inner race assembly). Together, they form a taper roller bearing set capable of handling combined radial and thrust loads in a single compact unit. Timken’s proprietary steel chemistry and heat treatment process produces cups with exceptional hardness uniformity and dimensional stability, even under heavy loads and elevated temperatures.
This product includes 6 cup variants grouped by outside diameter. The matching cone number for each cup is listed in the specifications table. Always replace cups and cones as matched sets.
- Timken Premium Bearing Steel — proprietary chemistry for hardness, toughness, and fatigue resistance
- Precision Ground — races and rollers ground to micro-inch surface finishes
- Combined Load Capacity — handles radial and thrust loads simultaneously
- Dimensional Stability — heat treatment ensures consistent fit under load and temperature
- ABMA/ISO Standards — manufactured to industry dimensional and tolerance standards

Selection Tip: Always match cone and cup part numbers from the Timken catalog. Dynamic load ratings in the spec table help you estimate bearing life using the L10 formula: L10 = (C/P)^(10/3) million revolutions, where C is the dynamic load rating and P is the equivalent radial load.
1 All dimensions follow the Lambear tri-format: Imperial fraction – Decimal inches – Metric (mm).
2 Dynamic load ratings are catalog values for L10 life calculation. Contact us for application-specific bearing selection.
