This is a CAT Tapered Roller Bearing, specifically part numbers 166-6930 and 166-6931, designed to support axial and radial loads in rotating assemblies. Manufactured to precise OEM standards, it offers superior load-carrying capacity and smooth operation compared to a worn bearing with pitted races or a loose cage. Operators may notice increased noise, vibration, or a noticeable looseness in the component it supports when this bearing begins to fail.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Initial signs of bearing failure include humming or grinding noises that increase with speed. If left unaddressed, the noise will intensify, accompanied by increased vibration and potential binding of the rotating component. Continued operation can lead to bearing seizure, causing shaft damage and potentially immobilizing the equipment.
Ensure the bearing housing and shaft surfaces are meticulously clean before installation to prevent contamination. Never use a hammer to drive the bearing onto a shaft; use a proper press or driver tool.
When replacing tapered roller bearings, always inspect the seals for damage and the shaft or housing for any signs of wear or scoring.
