Enter bore d, outside diameter D and width B. Use decimals or inch fractions such as 1/2 or 1 1/4.
TIMKEN 552A — individual cup dimensions
TIMKEN 552A is an individual tapered-roller cup (outer ring), not the complete cone-and-cup bearing. The manufacturer lists outside diameter D = 123.825 mm (4.8750 in) and outer-ring width C = 30.163 mm (1.1875 in).
| Measurement | Symbol | Metric | Inches |
|---|---|---|---|
| O.D. (D) | D | 123.825 mm | 4.8750 in |
| Outer Ring Width (C) | C | 30.163 mm | 1.1875 in |
| Max Housing Fillet Radius | Not specified | 3.30 mm | 0.130 in |
| Housing Backing Shoulder Dia. - Frontface (Da) | Da | 116.1 mm | 4.6 in |
| Housing Backing Shoulder Dia. - Backface (Db) | Db | 108.97 mm | 4.29 in |
Use the component number correctly
- D is the nominal cup outside diameter. C measures this outer ring only; it is not the assembled bearing width T. This single-cup record does not establish a shaft bore d or a matching cone.
- Preserve the full component number and its suffix. A shared prefix, similar ring size or a related-products suggestion does not approve a cone/cup combination or a cross-brand replacement.
- For a complete bearing, check both component markings and the manufacturer’s assembled d×D×T record. B+C is not a valid way to calculate T. A seal, axle rating, vehicle application and tightening procedure need their own evidence.

TIMKEN 552A — bearing pairs and set identification
For TIMKEN 552A, the component number alone does not establish every dimension of a complete bearing. This reference identifies documented cone/cup combinations that contain 552A; select the row matching both of your component markings.

What to confirm before using this reference
- d is the cone bore, D is the cup outside diameter and T is the complete bearing width for the exact pair. B and C measure the separate rings; do not add B and C to calculate T.
- The dimensional table is a historical identification reference from the 2002 Timken Bearing Specification Guide, not a current engineering drawing. Printed metric and inch values are retained, including their original rounding. Check the current drawing before specifying fits or machining.
- A component may appear with several mating numbers. A match here documents that exact Timken combination; it does not approve other suffixes, mixed-brand rings, a vehicle application or a substitute with similar dimensions.
- A cone-and-cup set is not automatically a complete wheel-end repair kit. Seal numbers, collars, spacers and quantities must be confirmed separately unless the specific set note below explicitly lists them.
- For replacement work, inspect and replace the mating cup and cone together as specified for the assembly. Retaining a worn ring or mixing manufacturer geometries can change the contact pattern even when nominal diameters match.
- An axle tightening torque, preload or endplay target cannot be derived from these dimensions. Use the procedure for the identified hub or machine, including any pre-adjusted system restrictions.

Related prefix matches — other model numbers may appear
These discovery results can contain a longer number or a different component. They are not specifications for the requested exact model. Open the complete product to inspect its original geometry.
Check the drawing before substituting
Nominal dimensions are not shaft-fit tolerances. Different variants can add grooves, flanges, wider rings or assembly components. When the table has different dimensions, the complete designation—not the shared prefix—controls.
Reference basis & data limits
Manufacturer terminology is retained in the product records. Technical reference basis: JTEKT Basic Bearing Knowledge (boundary dimensions, tolerance classes and lubrication); NSK Bearing ABCs (lubrication, designations and clearance); NTN technical FAQs (closure codes and component interchange); SKF rolling-bearing selection and maintenance references.
Selection workflows and catalogue grouping are BearingScope editorial aids. Verify the current drawing and application requirements before using a candidate. Missing database information is not converted into an assumed match.
