Overview – THRUST BEARING 2868820X Series
If you run Cummins transmission and shaft positions as the thrust bearing, the Cummins THRUST BEARING 2868820X and its series variants give you flexible sourcing without compromising fit.
Parts Characteristics
A thrust bearing that takes the axial load along a shaft, holding the wheel or the gear in its plane against the force of the drive. It carries the push that would otherwise walk the shaft, so a true, free thrust bearing keeps the assembly running square.
Applicable Models & Applications
Used at Cummins transmission positions specifying this thrust bearing (series). Match the bore, the face and the capacity against your old bearing – thrust bearings differ in how they seat and carry.
Maintenance & Replacement
Inspect for a scored face and a notched race at every service. A thrust bearing that has begun to pit lets the shaft drift, and the drift is what loads the whole train.
Replace rather than run a pitted one. A thrust bearing that has lost its face runs hot, and the heat is what cooks the adjacent seal.
Confirm square seating and the correct preload on fit. A thrust bearing mounted off the shaft runs out and the whole circuit pulses.
Keep the correct thrust bearings for your transmission on the shelf. They are load-critical, and a machine stopped on a bearing is a machine waiting on a part.
Price Reference (USD)
The THRUST BEARING 2868820X generally falls in the USD 30-180 bracket, with expedited freight quoted separately.
