Tapered Roller Bearing Distributor
Tapered Roller Bearings are precision-engineered components designed to support combined radial and axial loads. Each bearing consists of separable parts: an inner ring (cone), an outer ring (cup), and tapered rollers positioned between them. The tapered design allows for line contact between the rollers and races, enabling efficient load distribution and reduced friction, especially under heavy-duty conditions.
The geometry of these bearings is what sets them apart. The inner and outer raceways, along with the rollers, are all shaped to converge at a common point on the bearing axis, allowing the bearing to accommodate both axial (thrust) and radial loads. The steeper the cup angle, the more axial load the bearing can support — making it a perfect solution for demanding industrial applications.
