Tapered Roller Bearings

Tapered Roller Bearings

Tapered roller bearings are rolling element bearings that can support axial forces as well as radial forces. In many applications tapered roller bearings are used in back-to-back pairs so that axial forces can be supported equally in either direction. Pairs of tapered roller bearings are used in car and vehicle wheel bearings where they must cope simultaneously with large vertical (radial) and horizontal (axial) forces.
