Taper Roller Bearings

What Are Tapered Roller Bearings?

In a typical tapered roller bearing design, inner and outer ring raceways are crafted as cone segments, with rollers tapered to meet at a common point. The conical surfaces of the raceways meet with the roller axes on the main axis of the bearing. This unique shape allows for smooth coaxial motion, with no sliding between the raceways and the outside diameter of the rollers.

A tapered roller bearing consists of solid inner and outer rings with tapered raceways and rollers with cages. These bearings are not self-retaining, which means the inner ring, rollers, and cage can be fitted separately from the outer ring. Tapered roller bearings can support axial loads from one direction along with high radial loads. In normal conditions, they must be axially adjusted against a second bearing in a mirror arrangement.

Taper Roller Bearing FAQs

Tapered roller bearings are ideal for many applications, especially situations that involve the simultaneous movement of radial and axial forces. Ideal for heavy-duty applications that involve moderate speed, these versatile bearings are ready for multiple scenarios.

In many applications, tapered roller bearings are used back to back in pairs to balance axial forces in both directions. This is advantageous in a range of applications, from vehicles and industrial machinery to agricultural and manufacturing equipment. Along with balance, this allows the load capacity to be increased or decreased depending on the contact angle.

Tapered roller bearings feature a conical shape where the rollers converge to a point, enabling efficient handling of combined radial and axial loads. On the other hand, cylindrical roller bearings utilise cylindrical rollers for linear contact with the raceways, providing them with a strong load-carrying capacity in scenarios involving radial loads.
