These bearings have inclined race ways to allow proper fit with tapered rollers. They can be single- or double-row roller bearings.
General Features
Tapered roller bearings allow high radial and axial loads; in the single-row version they must always be coupled with another bearing.
Internal construction always involves the use of a cage, usually made of metal, to allow proper spacing and alignment of the rollers.
This type of bearing also can withstand high rotational speeds.
Materials
They can be made of typical chromium bearing steel, full hardening, case-hardening or induction hardening.
Main Applications
Gearboxes, axles.
