Choosing between AXIS industrial bearings comes down to matching the bearing type and dimensions to the replacement job. You're looking at four different roles under the bearings, couplings, and power transmission umbrella: a water pump bearing, two commercial-grade AF-series bearings, and a tapered roller bearing cone. Each one is made for a different fit, and the listed prices reflect that range.
Quick Take
If your repair is for a water pump, start with the 885586SE Water Pump Bearing. For a compact flange assembly, the AF2436 Commercial Grade Bearing is the most compact entry point. If you need a 1-inch bore and wider flange, the AF6464 Commercial Grade Bearing fits that niche. For a heavy-duty replacement with substantial load ratings, the HM212049 Tapered Roller Bearing is the heavyweight choice.

Decision Matrix
- Water pump replacement: 885586SE Water Pump Bearing - listed under Water Pump Bearings in the SE Series.
- Compact flange assembly: AF2436 - 0.375-inch inside diameter, 1.125-inch outside diameter.
- Larger flange assembly: AF6464 - 1-inch inside diameter, 2-inch outside diameter.
- Heavy shaft work: HM212049 - 2.6250-inch shaft diameter, 122.238mm outside diameter.
Use the inside diameter, outside diameter, and shaft diameter as your first filter; then let the load ratings guide you.
Product Notes
885586SE Water Pump Bearing (USD 19.67)
This AXIS part is the direct pick when the component you're replacing is a water pump bearing. It's listed under the SE Series and Water Pump Bearings subcategory, with steel construction and a 0.710 lb weight. It is built for dependable industrial performance with easy installation and a consistent fit, which makes sense for assembly-line and maintenance work. At $19.67, it's priced between the two AF-series bearings. Choose it for water pump service. For a general commercial-grade flange application, you'd need to move to an AF-series bearing instead.
AF2436 Commercial Grade Bearing (USD 14.96)
The AF2436 is the least expensive part in this comparison and the most compact of the AF-series options. It's made of steel, weighs 0.088 lb, and has a 0.375-inch inside diameter, a 1.125-inch outside diameter, and a 1.25-inch flange diameter. Those numbers point to a small, light bearing for smaller shafts and bores. Choose it for compact flange assemblies where the AF6464's larger 1-inch bore isn't needed. The limitation is that its dimensions are small; if your assembly requires a 1-inch bore, the AF6464 is the one to step up to.
AF6464 Commercial Grade Bearing (USD 22.78)
The AF6464 is the larger commercial-grade AF-series bearing. It has a 1-inch inside diameter, a 2-inch outside diameter, and a 2.1875-inch flange diameter, with a 0.5-inch length through bore. It's steel and weighs 0.290 lb. At $22.78, it's $7.82 above the AF2436, and the larger dimensions explain that step. Choose it when the assembly calls for a 1-inch bore and a wider flange. The trade-off is that you don't need that size or bore capacity if your shaft is smaller, and the AF2436's lower listed price may fit the job better.
HM212049 Tapered Roller Bearing (USD 47.03)
This is the most substantial product in the group. The HM212049 is a tapered roller bearing cone in the HM210000 series, sized for a 2.6250-inch shaft diameter with a 122.238mm outside diameter and a 1.510-inch length through bore. Its stated load capacities are 209,000 N dynamic and 279,000 N static. It weighs 2.900 lb. Choose it when the replacement job involves a larger shaft and you want the load capacity that comes with it. The limitation is the price: at $47.03, it's $32.07 above the AF2436 and likely more bearing than a small commercial-grade flange job needs.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- Water pump bearing replacement: Go with the 885586SE Water Pump Bearing.
- Compact commercial-grade flange job: Go with the AF2436 Commercial Grade Bearing.
- Larger flange job with a 1-inch bore: Go with the AF6464 Commercial Grade Bearing.
- Heavy-duty tapered roller replacement: Go with the HM212049 Tapered Roller Bearing.
If you're still deciding, let the inside diameter and shaft diameter be your first filter. The listed prices and load ratings then help you decide how much capacity you're willing to pay for.
