184659 Roller Bearing | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta Roller Bearing - Part Number: 184659

This genuine Volvo Penta roller bearing is a precision rolling-element or raceway component used in the IPS lower-gear tapered-roller bearing position. It is manufactured to the original Volvo dimensional, material and interface requirements so the serviced assembly retains its designed alignment, sealing, load capacity and operating reliability. Tapered roller-bearing dimensions documented as 55 mm bore × 100 mm outside diameter. SKF-manufactured OEM bearing documented for Volvo Penta transmission service. In service, it supports the IPS lower-gear shaft under combined radial and thrust loading and maintains bevel-gear alignment. Selection must be confirmed by OEM part number 184659, the exact engine/product model, serial number and installed configuration.
