Tapered Roller Bearings are designed to support combined radial and axial loads, making them ideal for applications where both load types act simultaneously. These bearings use tapered rollers that run on matching tapered raceways, allowing loads to be evenly distributed along the rolling elements. This design provides high load-carrying capacity, excellent rigidity, and long service life under demanding operating conditions.
Tapered roller bearings are commonly adjusted during installation to achieve the correct internal clearance or preload, ensuring optimal performance and reduced vibration. They are especially suitable for applications requiring high durability, stable operation under heavy loads, and reliable performance over long periods.
Due to their ability to handle significant axial loads in one direction, tapered roller bearings are often mounted in pairs or sets to support axial forces in both directions.
Key Characteristics:
- Supports combined radial and axial loads
- High load-carrying capacity and rigidity
- Tapered roller design for efficient load distribution
- Adjustable internal clearance
- Suitable for heavy-duty applications
Applications:Tapered roller bearings are widely used in automotive wheel hubs, gearboxes, industrial transmissions, construction machinery, and heavy industrial equipment where strength and reliability are essential.
