Tapered roller bearings carry combined radial and axial load in one direction with high stiffness - mounted in facing pairs so each bearing takes axial load in one direction.
Typical in automotive wheel hubs, gearboxes and any shaft rigidly located under combined load, with clearance or preload set at mounting.
Process Overview
Tapered roller bearings use conical rollers between tapered raceways so the extended contact lines converge on the axis — carrying combined radial and axial load in one direction with high stiffness. They are almost always mounted in facing pairs (direct or indirect) so each bearing takes axial load in one direction.
Typical applications are automotive wheel hubs, gearboxes, and any shaft that must be rigidly located under combined load, where the clearance or preload of the pair is set at mounting.
