Product Description
The A209816905 (also referenced as A0209816905, cross-reference 49-2228) is a precision tapered roller bearing with dimensions of 120×180×38mm, specifically designed for wheel suspension applications in heavy automotive and commercial vehicle platforms.
Tapered roller bearings of this class are uniquely capable of handling simultaneous radial and axial (thrust) loads — a critical requirement for wheel suspension positions where cornering forces, braking loads, and vertical road loads all act on the bearing simultaneously. The 120mm bore and 3.07kg mass place this bearing firmly in the large-format automotive bearing category, typically found on heavy passenger vehicles, large SUVs, light trucks, and commercial vehicle front axle assemblies.
Manufactured to precision standards and supplied factory-direct by NEXANS Bearing, the A209816905 is a reliable OEM-grade replacement bearing suitable for both original equipment fitment and aftermarket maintenance supply.

Q1: What vehicles use the A209816905 tapered roller bearing?
The A209816905 is a wheel suspension tapered roller bearing with a 120mm bore, designed for heavy passenger vehicles, large SUVs, and light commercial vehicles. Its large-format dimensions (120×180×38mm, 3.07kg) indicate fitment on heavy vehicle platforms where suspension positions are subject to significant combined radial and axial loads. Cross-referenced as 49-2228 / A0209816905, it is compatible with multiple OEM and aftermarket part numbering systems.
Q2: Why is a tapered roller bearing used in wheel suspension positions?
Wheel suspension positions experience complex multi-directional loads — including vertical road loads (radial), cornering forces (axial), and braking forces (combined). Tapered roller bearings are uniquely suited to these conditions because their tapered geometry allows them to simultaneously carry both radial and axial loads with high efficiency. This makes them the preferred bearing type for heavy vehicle wheel suspension and hub assemblies worldwide.
Q3: What is the difference between A209816905 and A0209816905?
A209816905 and A0209816905 refer to the same bearing — the "A0" prefix is simply an alternate OEM part number format used by some vehicle manufacturers and parts catalogs. Both numbers describe the identical 120×180×38mm tapered roller bearing for wheel suspension applications. Cross-reference 49-2228 is also used for this bearing in aftermarket catalogs.
Q4: What material is the A209816905 bearing made from?
The A209816905 is manufactured from GCr15 high-grade chrome steel — equivalent to AISI 52100, 100Cr6, and SUJ2 international steel grades. This material provides excellent hardness (HRC 60–65), superior wear resistance, and outstanding rolling fatigue life — ensuring reliable long-term performance under the demanding combined loads of automotive wheel suspension applications.
Q5: How is the A209816905 tapered roller bearing installed in a wheel suspension?
Tapered roller bearings in wheel suspension positions require correct preload setting during installation to ensure optimal performance and service life. The bearing must be installed with the correct interference fit on the shaft and in the housing, and preload adjusted per the vehicle manufacturer's specifications. Incorrect preload — either too loose or too tight — can significantly reduce bearing life.

Q7: Is the A209816905 bearing interchangeable with SKF, FAG, or Timken equivalents?
Yes. The A209816905 is dimensionally equivalent to tapered roller bearings from SKF, FAG, Timken, NSK, NTN, and other major manufacturers sharing the same 120×180×38mm dimensions and wheel suspension application rating. NEXANS Bearing produces this bearing to the same ISO/GB dimensional standards, ensuring a direct drop-in replacement for maintenance, MRO, and OEM procurement.
Q8: What is the MOQ and lead time for A209816905 bearing orders?
