Application & Design

The SKF 462-A VP is a tapered roller bearing specified for vehicle and industrial service where consistent load control and uptime are priorities. As a tapered design, it manages combined radial and axial loads common to wheel ends and other rotating equipment. In typical listings, it is supplied as a discrete bearing component intended to be paired with a matching cup or cone in compatible hubs or housings. The tapered geometry enables correct contact under load and allows technicians to set running clearance or preload/endplay to specification for dependable service.

SKF tapered roller bearings incorporate logarithmic roller/raceway profiles and an ultra-smooth surface finish to promote stable load distribution, reduced friction, and quiet running. Manufactured to SKF’s quality standards, this bearing supports reliable operation and predictable maintenance cycles across demanding fleet environments. Common industry cross-references for this reference include Timken 462A, ACDelco 9441075/462A, Federal-Mogul 462A, Studebaker 126412, and Uni-Select 040462A. Dimensions, load ratings, speed limits, and approved bearing pairings for 462-A VP should be confirmed using SKF catalog data or an authorized distributor before installation. Sold individually; matching cup or cone, seals, lubricant, and hardware are not included.
