Application and Fit

The SKF BR28995 tapered roller bearing is built for heavy-duty and industrial applications, including non-driven front axle positions. Precision tolerances deliver an exact fit, while the 2.47 in bore (cone inner diameter) and 1.00 in cone length/width align with common spindle specifications. This cone interchanges with established industry numbers such as Timken 28995 and FAG 401042, supporting replacement needs on select International platforms from 1956–1975. Sold individually to match service requirements, it can be installed as a direct replacement or used as an upgrade where enhanced durability is desired.

Construction and Performance

Manufactured from heat-treated high carbon steel, the BR28995 is designed to handle demanding duty cycles with excellent strength and dimensional stability. Its tapered roller geometry distributes combined radial and axial loads efficiently, helping maintain proper alignment and preload. SKF’s logarithmic roller profile and ultra-smooth raceway finish promote even stress distribution and consistent lubrication film formation for quiet, predictable operation. Supporting details include a 0.14 in cone radius and 0.14 in cup length that complement the bearing’s fit and load paths in service. Engineered to meet or exceed industry requirements, this bearing offers reliable performance across a wide range of fleet and industrial applications where long service life and repeatable fit are critical.
