Product Description
The A0179817905 (cross-reference: 49-2227) is a precision tapered roller bearing with dimensions of 100×150×32mm, specifically engineered for wheel suspension applications in automotive and commercial vehicle platforms. Weighing 1.85kg, this medium-to-large format bearing is designed to deliver reliable, long-service performance under the complex multi-directional loading conditions inherent to vehicle suspension systems.
Tapered roller bearings are the preferred bearing type for wheel suspension positions because their unique tapered geometry allows them to simultaneously carry heavy radial loads and axial (thrust) loads — both of which are constantly present in suspension assemblies due to vehicle weight, cornering forces, and braking dynamics. The A0179817905 is engineered specifically to meet these demands, providing a robust and fatigue-resistant solution for OEM and aftermarket fitment.
Manufactured to precision standards and supplied factory-direct by NEXANS Bearing from Liaocheng, Shandong, the A0179817905 is a reliable OEM-grade replacement bearing suitable for both original equipment fitment and aftermarket maintenance supply across global vehicle platforms.

Q1: What vehicles use the A0179817905 tapered roller bearing?
The A0179817905 is a wheel suspension tapered roller bearing with a 100mm bore, designed for medium-to-large passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles. Its 100×150×32mm dimensions and 1.85kg weight indicate fitment on vehicle platforms where suspension positions are subject to significant combined radial and axial loads during normal driving, cornering, and braking. Cross-referenced as 49-2227, it is compatible with multiple OEM and aftermarket part numbering systems.
Q2: Why are tapered roller bearings specifically used in wheel suspension positions?
Wheel suspension positions experience simultaneous multi-directional loads — vertical road loads (radial), cornering forces (axial), and braking forces (combined radial + axial). Tapered roller bearings are uniquely suited to these conditions because their tapered raceway geometry allows efficient simultaneous handling of both radial and axial loads. This makes them the globally preferred bearing type for automotive wheel suspension and hub assemblies, as confirmed by leading bearing manufacturers including SKF and NSK.
Q3: What is the cross-reference number for A0179817905, and what other brands make an equivalent?
The A0179817905 is cross-referenced as 49-2227 in aftermarket catalogs. It is dimensionally equivalent to tapered roller bearings from SKF, FAG, Timken, NSK, NTN, and other major manufacturers sharing the same 100×150×32mm dimensions and wheel suspension application rating. NEXANS Bearing produces this bearing to the same ISO/GB dimensional standards, ensuring a direct drop-in replacement.
Q4: What material is the A0179817905 bearing made from, and why does it matter?
The A0179817905 is manufactured from GCr15 high-grade chrome steel — the international equivalent of AISI 52100, 100Cr6, and SUJ2 steel grades. This material provides exceptional hardness (HRC 60–65), superior wear resistance, and outstanding rolling contact fatigue life. For wheel suspension applications where bearings are subjected to millions of load cycles over the vehicle's lifetime, GCr15 chrome steel is the industry-standard material of choice.
Q5: How should the A0179817905 tapered roller bearing be installed in a wheel suspension?
Tapered roller bearings in wheel suspension positions require precise preload setting during installation. The bearing must be mounted with the correct interference fit on the shaft and in the housing, with preload adjusted per the vehicle manufacturer's torque and clearance specifications. Incorrect preload — either excessive or insufficient — can significantly reduce bearing service life and compromise vehicle handling safety.
