Tapered Roller Bearings

Galaxy Bearings Limited offers Tapered Roller Bearings. Taper roller bearings have tapered inner and outer ring raceways between which tapered rollers are arranged. If extended, the tapered surfaces converge towards a single point on the bearing axis. This means that rolling conditions are at an optimum. Their design makes taper roller bearings particularly suitable for the accommodation of combined (radial and axial) loads. The axial load carrying capacity of the bearings is largely determined by the contact angle a, which corresponds to the angle of the outer ring raceway. The larger this angle, the larger the axial load carrying capacity. Taper roller bearings are generally of separable design, i.e. the inner ring with roller and cage assembly forms a unit, which can be mounted separately from the outer ring. Galaxy Bearing Ltd. manufactures single row & double rows taper roller bearings with metric as well as inch dimensions. The single row bearings listed in the following tables are the most prominent. Double row taper roller bearings are included in this catalogue.

As a result of the continuous improvements made to Galaxy Bearing Ltd. taper roller bearings, which represents the latest state of the art. Raceway has also been markedly improved by the "logarithmic" profile, which provides for optimum stress distribution in the bearing avoiding edge loading. Optimized raceway surfaces promote lubricant film formation and correct motion of the rollers. These improvements have considerably enhanced the performance of taper roller bearings.
