Technical information on Tapered roller bearings

Tapered roller bearings are particularly suitable where:

  • high radial loads occur
  • high axial loads act on one side
  • combined loads must be supported (radial and axial forces acting simultaneously)
  • precise axial guidance of the shaft is required (locating bearing function)
  • the bearing arrangement must have very high axial rigidity
  • the bearing position is operated clearance-free or under preload (single bearings are adjusted against each other)
  • high running accuracy is required
  • the load carrying capacity of angular contact ball bearings is no longer sufficient and the higher speed suitability of angular contact ball bearings is not required
  • the bearings are not required to compensate misalignments
  • the design objective comprises compact, rigid and economical bearing arrangements with a high load carrying capacity
