Specifications

⚠️ Fitment Notice: Always verify OEM part number A0159810005 against your vehicle VIN and axle specification before ordering. Wheel bearing fitment on heavy trucks is safety-critical — incorrect selection may result in bearing failure and loss of vehicle control.

Design & Construction

The A0159810005 is a single-row tapered roller bearing (equivalent to ISO 32017X) engineered as a direct OEM replacement for Mercedes-Benz heavy truck wheel suspension assemblies.

• Tapered roller geometry provides superior combined radial and axial load capacity — ideal for heavy truck steer and drive axle wheel positions

• Cone and cup assembly — separable design allows individual cone or cup replacement in the field

• Line contact between tapered rollers and raceways delivers high load capacity and long service life under heavy-duty conditions

• Open design — field-lubricated with NLGI 2/3 wheel bearing grease per OEM specification

• GCr15 / AISI 52100 through-hardened steel — 60–64 HRC, full material traceability available

• Dynamic Load Rating Cr = 167 kN — engineered for the combined radial (vehicle weight) and axial (cornering) forces on heavy commercial vehicle axles

Applications

Cross Reference

Cross-reference dimensions: 85 × 130 × 29 mm — always confirm dimensional compatibility before substitution. Provide your vehicle model, axle type, and VIN for a confirmed cross-reference.

Load Ratings & Performance Data

The Cr = 167 kN dynamic load rating confirms this bearing's suitability for heavy commercial vehicle axle duty, where combined radial loads from vehicle GVW and axial loads from cornering forces must be simultaneously sustained over extended service intervals.

FAQ

Q: What Mercedes-Benz vehicles use the A0159810005 bearing?

A0159810005 is a Mercedes-Benz OEM part number used on heavy truck wheel suspension assemblies, including Actros, Axor, Atego, and Arocs series. Always verify against your VIN and axle specification before ordering.

Q: What is the FAG / SKF equivalent?

The A0159810005 is dimensionally equivalent to FAG 32017-X (85×130×29mm, Cr 167 kN, C0r 224 kN) and SKF VKHB 2169. Always confirm dimensional compatibility before substitution.

Q: What precision grade should I specify?

P0 (standard) covers the majority of heavy truck aftermarket replacement applications. P6 or P5 is available for OEM supply or applications requiring tighter running accuracy.

Q: What lubrication is recommended?

Heavy truck wheel bearings of this type are typically lubricated with NLGI Grade 2 or Grade 3 lithium complex or calcium sulfonate wheel bearing grease. Follow your vehicle OEM's lubrication specification and regreasing intervals.

Q: What is the correct installation procedure?

Tapered roller wheel bearings must be installed with the correct preload or end-play as specified in the OEM workshop manual. Use a calibrated torque wrench and follow OEM adjustment procedures. For an 85mm bore bearing, a hydraulic press or induction heater is recommended — never strike the bearing directly.

Q: Is OEM / private-label packaging available?

Yes. Custom box printing (your brand / part number), laser-engraved part number (A0159810005) and logo on the bearing ring, and full inner/outer branded packaging are all available. All IP rights remain yours. MOQ and pricing on request.

Q: What documentation is available?

GCr15 / AISI 52100 material certificates, dimensional inspection reports, hardness test reports (60–64 HRC), packing lists, commercial invoices, certificates of origin. SGS / BV / TÜV third-party inspection supported on request.

Q: What is the MOQ and lead time?

Minimum 1 pc accepted for sample evaluation. Volume pricing from 10 pcs. Standard lead time: 7–15 days ex-stock / 20–30 days for production orders. Trade terms: FOB Qingdao / CIF / EXW available.
