Tapered roller bearings

Tapered roller bearings are a common type of rolling bearing with tapered rollers as the rolling elements. They typically consist of inner and outer rings, rolling elements, and a cage, designed to provide excellent support and stability when bearing radial and axial loads.

The distinctive feature of tapered roller bearings is that their inner and outer rings intersect at the bearing's rolling axis, allowing them to simultaneously withstand radial and thrust loads. This design makes them widely used in applications with high loads, such as automotive, aerospace, construction machinery, and other heavy-duty applications.

In industrial applications, tapered roller bearings are commonly employed in vehicle transmission systems, such as differentials and hub units. They are also suitable for rotating components in construction machinery, such as excavators and loaders. Their reliability and high load-carrying capacity make them essential components in various industrial settings.
