The Tapered Roller Bearing Company

The tapered roller bearing company provides a wide range of tapered roller bearing products to customers worldwide. They are known for their durability, high load-bearing capacity and low friction. The bearings are used in various types of equipment and machinery, including heavy trucks, agricultural equipment and construction machines.

Tapered roller bearings are able to handle both radial and axial loads. They are also able to withstand high torsional forces, which can be particularly helpful for the truck and trailer industry.

They come in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet all your bearing needs. They are manufactured with a variety of flanges, seals and mounting features for easy installation on your machine or vehicle.

These tapered bearings are made from stainless steel material to ensure durability and longevity. They are available in single or double row assembly, metric and imperial sizes and are ideal for automobiles, gearboxes, shafts, construction machinery and rolling mill equipment.

Their main application is on vehicle wheel bearings where they are required to withstand radial and axial loads. They can also be found in heavy industrial applications, such as in conveyors and presses, where they are used to guide the components.

Tapered roller bearings are usually manufactured in pairs, allowing axial loads to be supported equally in both directions. This feature can be useful for reducing the amount of maintenance needed on your heavy truck or trailer.

This type of bearing is commonly used in steering axles on heavy trucks and other vehicles, such as tractors or construction equipment. It can withstand radial and axial loads in one direction, as well as torsional and thrust loads.

The inner ring of a tapered bearing is called the “cone,” while the outer ring is called the “cup.” Both parts are separable and can be installed separately or together in a set.

Cone and cup lubrication is typically provided by a thin coating of preservative to prevent rusting. It is not sufficient for providing adequate operating lubrication, so it is recommended to use oil bath lubrication.

There are many different lubricants that can be used for this type of bearing. These lubricants include synthetic, petroleum and silicone-based oils. They can also be applied through dry film lubrication, greases, and other non-oil based solutions.

When choosing a lubricant, it is important to consider the type of application and whether or not the bearings are exposed to extreme temperatures or chemicals. This will affect the lubricant’s compatibility with the application and may decrease its life span.

Tyson(r) offers a full line of tapered roller bearings, including TS series, TDO, TDI, and TDS, which can handle both radial and axial loads. These bearings are commonly used in steering axles on heavy trucks, tractors and other construction equipment, as well as steer axles and landing gear on class 8 trailers.

Unlike other types of bearings, these types of bearings have a cage that distributes the roller units to help reduce the chance of misalignment and increase the load-bearing capacity. They are also lubricated by an abrasion resistant PTFE coating and are designed to withstand high torsional forces, especially in applications with shock loads.
