Tapered Roller Bearings are separable and have the following components: outer ring, inner ring, and roller assembly (containing the rollers and a cage). The non-separable inner ring and roller assembly is called the cone, and the outer ring is called the cup. Internal clearance is established during mounting by the axial position of the cone relative to the cup.

This conical geometry is used as it gives a larger contact patch, which permits greater loads to be carried than with spherical (ball) bearings, while the geometry means that the tangential speeds of the surfaces of each of the rollers are the same as their raceways along the whole length of the contact patch and no differential scrubbing occurs Tapered Roller Bearings manufacture. When a roller slides rather than rolls, it can generate wear at the roller-to-race interface, i.e. the differences in surface speeds creates a scrubbing action. Wear will degenerate the close tolerances normally held in the bearing and can lead to other problems. Much closer to pure rolling can be achieved in a tapered roller bearing and this avoids rapid wear.

The rollers are guided by a flange on the inner ring. This stops the rollers from sliding out at high speed due to their momentum.

Tapered roller bearings are Tapered Roller Bearings wholesale that can take large axial forces (i.e., they are good thrust bearings) as well as being able to sustain large radial forces.

Tapered roller bearings are separable and consists of the outer ring, inner ring and roller assembly. The inner ring and roller assembly, which can not be separated is called the cone while the outer ring is called the cup. Tapered roller bearings are used in the pair back in the car and rear wheel bearings of vehicles, where they are exposed to radial and axial forces.
