How the HH221449-410 model number is decoded
HH221449 is a single-row tapered roller bearing in the HH221400-series inch series: a separable cone-and-cup design for combined radial and one-direction axial load, listed by SKF in SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000.The HH221400-series series assigns 101.6 mm bore, 190.5 mm OD and 57.15 mm width to HH221449; the cone and cup references are not interchangeable with other inch-series pairs even when the bore matches, because the cup profile and rib geometry are series-specific. SKF lists the plain number as the basic execution; letter suffixes such as B denote a steeper contact angle and are different order numbers. Catalogue mass 7000 g for the 101.6×190.5×57.15 mm open execution covers the pressed-steel cage and standard roller complement; sealed or special-clearance variants differ slightly in mass and carry their own order numbers. Note the minimum-axial-load requirement: at light radial load and high speed the rollers of HH221449 must still be held into the rib contact, which is another reason the catalogue recommends paired mounting with controlled setting. Journal and housing interface: the 101.6 mm bore takes a m6 shaft seat (upper deviation ~0.203 mm for this diameter range) and the 190.5 mm outside diameter pairs with an H7 housing bore tolerance band of 190.5.000/190.520 mm; the 57.15 mm width defines the shoulder depth, and the 7000 g cone-plus-cup assembly is the dead load on the shaft during thermal expansion calculations. Why the cup reference matters here: in the HH221400-series tables the HH 221449 cone appears against several cup options. HH221449 is the pairing with 410, and that choice — not the cone — fixes the 190.5 mm OD, the raceway track position and the 57.15 mm assembled width.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- paper-machine and printing rolls
- construction machinery drives
- marine deck machinery shafts
- paper-machine and printing rolls
Known failure patterns
- cup or cone misalignment when the separable rings are not seated square during mounting
- loose cup rotation in the housing when the specified press fit is not achieved
- axial overload spalling at the roller-rib contact beyond the single-row thrust rating
- roller large-end smearing against the cone rib after EP lubricant film failure
- cage pocket scoring when the bearing starts cold with grease of too-high base-oil viscosity
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling after the rated L10 life is exceeded
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Mount the 101.6 mm bore HH221449 by induction heating of the cone (max 120 °C — the pressed-steel cage sets the ceiling, not the steel); driving it home through the cup or rollers brinells the tapered raceway.
- The HH221400-series inch series at 101.6 mm bore (190.5×57.15 mm) follows the Timken cone/cup convention; substitutions must match both the cone and cup reference exactly — interchanging with another series or a metric 3xxxx bearing of the same bore changes OD, width and contact angle, so re-run the pair setting and shoulder-diameter checks before swapping.
- At the 537 kN rating of HH221449, preload class changes stiffness by tens of percent but also heat generation; select light preload for the 3,400 r/min speed end and heavier preload only where moment stiffness dominates.
- Do not mix brands or executions inside one HH221449 pair — matched sets are ground for a specific setting, and pairing a SKF basic unit with a different suffix variant will not share the setting evenly.
- Never press both rings through the wrong element during fitting: force for an interference shaft seat goes through the cone only, or brinell marks on the 190.5 mm cup race release as noise within the first running hours.
- The 537/630 kN ratings are SKF catalogue 17000 values for the basic execution; SKF can revise internal geometry without changing the order number, so keep the catalogue version (PUB BU/P1 17000/1 EN, 2018) with the specification and re-verify for critical drives.
- SKF lists several executions of HH221449 (basic, B steeper angle, Q/J2 clearance variants); they are not interchangeable order numbers — quote the full SKF HH 221449/410 designation when purchasing and match the execution to the mounting arrangement.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of HH221449?
The SKF HH 221449/410 is a single-row tapered roller bearing with 101.6 mm bore, 190.5 mm outer diameter and 57.15 mm width (4 × 7.5 × 2.25 in). From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: basic dynamic load rating C 537 kN, C0 630 kN, fatigue load limit Pu 68 kN, reference speed 2,800 r/min, limiting speed 3,400 r/min, mass about 7000 g. It is an open, separable bearing with a pressed-steel cage.
How does the HH221449 inch-series designation work?
Inch-series tapered roller bearings use a Timken-style cone/cup convention: the number before the slash identifies the cone (inner ring with roller and cage assembly), the number after the slash identifies the cup (outer ring), and the HH221400-series code marks the dimensional series. The metric dimensions 101.6×190.5×57.15 mm are the converted equivalents of the original inch boundary dimensions.
What do the cone and cup numbers in HH221449 mean?
The cone number (before the slash) identifies the inner ring, rollers and cage; the cup number (after the slash) identifies the outer ring. Both are quoted together because a single-row tapered roller bearing is a matched separable pair — the cone and cup are ground to work together and are not interchangeable with arbitrary other parts. The series prefix (HH221400-series) groups sizes that share the same boundary-dimension plan.
Can a single HH221449 take axial load in both directions?
No — one single-row tapered roller bearing reacts thrust in one direction only, and under radial load its contact angle induces an axial force. Use two bearings as a matched pair: O (back-to-back) for a rigid, moment-resisting arrangement, X (face-to-face) where thermal expansion must be tolerated, or tandem where one-direction thrust is shared.
How does HH221449 compare with a ball bearing of the same bore?
A tapered roller bearing has line contact and a steep contact angle: much higher combined axial-plus-radial capacity and shock resistance than a ball bearing of the same bore, at the cost of speed, one-direction thrust, mandatory pairing for reversing loads and a minimum axial load requirement. A ball bearing cannot be dropped into a combined-load HH221449 position and vice versa — verify load direction, Fa/Fr ratio and speed before substituting.
