Timken LM67048 Tapered Roller Bearing Cone

Product Description

The TIMKEN LM67048 is a tapered roller bearing cone designed to handle both radial and axial loads in demanding rotating-shaft applications. As the inner race assembly of a tapered roller bearing set, the cone works in conjunction with a matched cup (outer race) to manage combined load types with high durability. The LM67048 is engineered for higher speeds, heavier loads, and extended service life compared to standard bearing designs. It is installed by automotive technicians, drivetrain specialists, and mechanical trades wherever precise load-bearing performance is required in a compact envelope.

This cone is suited for use in automotive and light-truck drivetrain applications including rear-wheel-drive front wheel hubs, manual transmission countershafts, and axle applications. Input application references include front wheel and rear-wheel-drive configurations on Chevrolet car and truck platforms (1958-1960), MG vehicles (1954-1967), 5-speed manual transmission countershaft assemblies, and Dodge and Truck half-ton applications (1988). Cone and cup should be replaced as a matched set to maximize bearing reliability and service life.

Key Features

• Tapered roller design manages both radial and axial (thrust) loads simultaneously
• Engineered for higher speeds and heavier loads compared to standard roller bearings
• Compact geometry delivers maximum durability within a minimal space envelope
• Sold as a single cone unit; matched cup should be replaced at the same time
• Manufactured to TIMKEN dimensional and quality standards for OEM-grade fitment

Compatibility

Referenced application fitment includes front wheel and rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet car platforms (1958-1960), MG vehicles (1954-1967), 5-speed manual transmission countershaft assemblies, and Dodge and Truck half-ton applications (1988). Always verify bearing bore, OD, and width against the application before installation.

Installation Notes

Tapered roller bearing cones are typically installed by automotive technicians or drivetrain mechanics. Always press or drive the cone onto the shaft using a properly sized bearing driver or press - never strike the rolling elements or cage directly. Replace the matched cup at the same time to ensure proper taper geometry and load distribution. Inspect the bearing seat and shaft journal for wear or damage before fitting the new cone.
