Q: Why are tapered roller bearings used?

tapered roller bearing

A: Tapered roller bearings are separate bearings. Both the inner and outer rings of the bearing have tapered raceways. This type of bearing is divided into single, double and four-row tapered roller bearings according to the number of rollers installed. Single-row tapered roller bearings can support radial loads and axial loads in one direction. When the bearing is subjected to a radial load, an axial component will be generated, so when another bearing that can withstand the axial force in the opposite direction is needed to balance it. Widely used in automotive, rolling mill, mining, metallurgy, plastic machinery and other industries.
