Precision Tapered Roller Bearings

Precision Tapered Roller Bearings are used in a wide range of applications. They are ideal for both radial and thrust loads. They can also be matched with other types of precision bearings to improve overall product performance.

These precision bearings are designed to perform well under the toughest conditions and can handle high load capacities with minimal vibration. They offer superior accuracy and control - every time.

They are manufactured in inch and metric sizes to meet the full range of precision application requirements. Timken offers a variety of tapered roller bearing designs that provide high speed and precision performance.

A high precision tapered roller bearing can have a standard ISO P5 or ABEC 5 standard level of precision. It can also have a super precision level of ISO P4 or ABEC 7 or better.

In addition, some tapered roller bearings are available with the option of a variable preload capability. This allows for more precise setting to achieve the desired load capacity and enables greater machine productivity.

Depending on the application, precision tapered roller bearings may be manufactured in alloy or low carbon steels. Case carburizing may be recommended in some cases to enhance durability and fatigue resistance.

They are separable, and both the inner and outer rings of the bearing have tapered raceways. This design optimizes rolling conditions and increases axial loading capacity.

The axial load capacity of the precision tapered roller bearing depends on the contact angle (a). A larger contact angle increases the ability to carry axial loads.

A tapered roller bearing is a type of cylindrical roller bearing with conical inner and outer rings, tapered rollers, and a cage or retainer. They are commonly used in wheel hub applications and other rotary machines that carry both radial and axial loads.

These roller bearings have a high load capacity because of the cylindrical rollers that are crowned or end-relieved to reduce stress concentrations. They can also withstand high shock loads.

They are produced from a carefully selected combination of materials to meet a customer's specific needs. These include case and thoroughly hardened high carbon bearing quality steels, or an alloy of low carbon and tempered alloy steels.

The bearing's outer ring is sometimes called the "cup" and the inner ring assembly is called the "cone." They are matched for size and fit together as units to optimize the performance of the entire assembly.

Some roller bearings have springs mounted in their housings to increase the capacity of the bearing system. This makes them ideal for use in applications with varying temperature conditions.

A double row bearing offers nearly twice the capacity of a single row bearing and is therefore used in more heavily loaded applications. It also has a plain outer race that can be set in a floating position to permit thermal expansion.

In addition, this bearing is a great choice for replacing a P type bearing when additional load capacity is required.

They are a cost-effective way to add strength and reliability to your product line. With the ability to adapt to a broad array of load capacities, they can improve performance and efficiency in almost any application.
