How the HM804846-810 model number is decoded
At 5,600 r/min reference speed the 24.6 mm-section HM804846 is governed thermally by preload and lubricant flow; grease or oil selection should be made against that value, with 7,000 r/min as the mechanical ceiling. Fit selection follows the rotating ring — interference on a rotating cone — and two HM804846 units are required to take reversing thrust; keep the induced axial load inside the rated capacity when calculating the pair. Load system: the 133 kN basic dynamic rating C and 146 kN static rating C0 give a C0/C balance of 1.10, and dividing C by the 46.038 mm bore yields 2.89 kN per millimetre of journal — a density metric that compares across families; the 17.3 kN fatigue limit Pu is the floor beneath which the adjusted-life calculation drops below acceptable L10 hours for a 46.038 mm shaft carrying variable duty. Cup-side note for 810: the outer ring's rib profile and the 95.25 mm outside diameter are cup-specific within the HM804800-series tables, so substituting a different cup against the same HM 804846 cone changes both the assembled 30.162 mm width and the axial free-play setting of the mounted pair.Ordering number SKF HM 804846/810 in SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000 denotes a single-row tapered roller bearing for a 46.038 mm shaft, inch series, with an open pressed-steel-cage execution and one-direction axial capacity.The code breaks down as cone/cup: the numbers before and after the slash identify the inner and outer ring sets, and the series prefix (HM804800-series) ties the pair to a specific boundary plan. Dimensions 46.038×95.25×30.162 mm are the converted metric envelope. SKF lists the plain number as the basic execution; letter suffixes such as B denote a steeper contact angle and are different order numbers.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- pump and compressor shafts
- machine-tool spindles
- belt-driven fan and blower shafts
- differential and pinion drives
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
- pressed-steel cage wear or fracture after prolonged running above the limiting speed
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling after the rated L10 life is exceeded
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- On this 46.038 mm bore, interference and temperature rise consume clearance inside a preloaded pair; calculate the residual clearance after mounting and at operating temperature — an over-tight HM804846 pair heats, loses setting control and smears the roller-rib contact.
- The HM804800-series inch series at 46.038 mm bore (95.25×30.162 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.
- The tapered contact angle creates an induced axial load under pure radial force; include it in the HM804846 rating calculation (and account for it in both bearings of a pair) or the unloaded bearing skids its rollers.

- The 990 g mass and 30.162 mm width mean spacer and abutment faces must be square to the axis within the bearing's own P0 tolerance; a tilted spacer tilts the contact angle and concentrates load on one rib of HM804846.
- The 133/146 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 HM804846 (basic, B steeper angle, Q/J2 clearance variants); they are not interchangeable order numbers — quote the full SKF HM 804846/810 designation when purchasing and match the execution to the mounting arrangement.
Frequently asked questions
Can a single HM804846 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 HM804846 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 HM804846 position and vice versa — verify load direction, Fa/Fr ratio and speed before substituting.
What shaft and housing fits suit HM804846?
For a rotating shaft under normal load, seat the cone on a k5 shaft fit; the cup is usually a loose-to-transition fit in the housing so it can creep slightly and distribute wear. Chamfer and shoulder diameters must clear the bearing rings so the 30.162 mm-wide cup seats square; the mounting setting (end play or preload) is set by the axial position of the cup relative to the cone.
Is HM804846 interchangeable with other brands?
Inch-series tapered roller bearings follow a long-standing industry boundary plan, so cones and cups of the same basic number are generally dimensionally interchangeable across manufacturers. However, internal geometry, cage design and load ratings differ by brand, so for paired or precision applications keep both halves of the set from one manufacturer — or re-verify ratings and setting when mixing.
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of HM804846?
The SKF HM 804846/810 is a single-row tapered roller bearing with 46.038 mm bore, 95.25 mm outer diameter and 30.162 mm width (1.813 × 3.75 × 1.187 in). From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: basic dynamic load rating C 133 kN, C0 146 kN, fatigue load limit Pu 17.3 kN, reference speed 5,600 r/min, limiting speed 7,000 r/min, mass about 990 g. It is an open, separable bearing with a pressed-steel cage.
