TIMKEN U298 — bearing pairs and set identification
For TIMKEN U298, the component number alone does not establish every dimension of a complete bearing. This reference identifies documented cone/cup combinations that contain U298; 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.
- No independently verified assembled d×D×T row is available in this supplement for this exact pairing. The component association is documented, but an assembled size must not be calculated from individual ring widths.
- 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.
