Tapered Roller Bearings

Tapered Roller Bearings are a unique subset of axial roller bearings in which the rollers are tapered rather than straight right cylindrical. The roller shape allows thrust loads to be withstood in addition to the radial loads. The inner and outer ring raceways and rollers of these bearings are made with a taper so that the surface planes of the raceways and roller axis meet at a point. The rollers are guided by a flange on the inner ring. Tapered roller bearings are separable, and have the following components: outer ring, inner ring and roller assembly. The non-separable inner ring and roller assembly is called the 'cone', and the outer ring is called the 'cup'.
