Tapered roller bearings are designed to support both axial and radial loads and are commonly used in industrial machinery and automotive applications. These bearings consist of an inner ring, an outer ring, tapered rollers and a cage. The tapered design allows for a larger contact area and higher radial and axial load capacities than other types of roller bearings.
There are two types of tapered roller bearings: single row and double row. Single row bearings can accommodate axial loads in one direction only, while double row bearings can carry axial loads in both directions. They are also available in different sizes and configurations to meet a variety of application requirements.
Tapered roller bearings are known for their low friction and high durability, which makes them ideal for high-speed applications. The bearings are also designed to withstand heavy loads and extreme temperatures, making them suitable for use in a range of challenging environments.
