Tapered Roller Bearings

Timken offers the most extensive line of Tapered Roller Bearings available in the friction industry. It is one of the most sort after bearings used in the manufacturing market for better performance of machines. These bearings are uniquely designed to manage both thrust and radial loads on rotating shafts and in housings. Timken manufactures nearly 26,000 tapered roller bearing combinations – in single, double and four-row tapered roller bearing configurations. Customised geometries and engineered surfaces can be applied to these tapered roller bearings to further enhance performance in demanding applications. The tapered roller bearings consist of four interdependent components: the cone or inner ring, the cup or outer ring, the tapered rollers or rolling elements and the cage or roller retainer. The taper angles allow the bearing to handle a combination of radial and thrust loads while more steeper the cup angle, the greater would be the ability of the tapered roller bearing to handle thrust loads. Timken recently advanced in manufacturing the single-row tapered roller bearings which is a widely used one among other bearings in this category. The single-row type consists of the cone assembly and the cup. It is usually fitted as one of an opposing pair. During equipment assembly, single-row bearings can be set to the required clearance or preload condition to optimize performance. Single-row tapered roller bearings have positive roller alignment that ensures true rolling motion and generates a “seating force” that pushes the roller against the cone large rib. This seating force prevents the rollers from skewing off apex that would keep them positively aligned and located against the cone large rib. The company also offers Bearing Refurbishment and Bearing Refurbishment.
