The rolling elements of this bearing are tapered rollers. They form a line contact with raceway of inner ring and outer ring, that can be separable. They are available in both metric, inch, and non-standard dimensions.
Tapered roller bearings, a type of separable bearing manufacture, are designed to handle primarily radial combined with axial loads. The bearing's load-carrying capacity depends on the outer ring's angle of the raceway, with a larger angle resulting in greater load capacity. The larger the angle between the outer raceway and the bearing's centerline, the greater the ability to withstand the ratio of axial and radial loads.
Tapered roller bearings feature a tapered inner ring and an outer ring raceway, with the tapered rollers precisely manufactured and arranged between the two components. All the projection lines of the cone surface converge at the same point on the bearing axis. This precision manufacturing design ensures seamless operation and makes tapered roller bearings particularly suitable for bearing combined (radial and axial) loads.
Due to their reliable manufacture and performance, tapered roller bearings find extensive application in various industries, including automobiles, rolling mills, mining, metallurgy, plastic machinery, steel equipment, pump compressors, gear units, paper machinery, railway vehicles, motorcycles, and wind power generation. Their widespread use in these sectors showcases the importance of proper bearing manufacture for their efficient functioning.
