Tapered Roller Bearings
Tapered roller bearings for combined radial and thrust loads in industrial drives, gearboxes and wheel applications.
Technical information for specification and selection. Contact us for availability and engineering quotes.
Tapered roller bearing design
Tapered roller bearings comprise an inner ring (cone), outer ring (cup), tapered rollers and cage. Line contact along the roller length provides high capacity for combined radial and axial forces in a compact envelope.
Load characteristics
Single-row bearings accept combined loads; the axial component increases with applied radial load due to the taper angle. Paired mounting (back-to-back, face-to-face or tandem) sets axial play and system stiffness.
Inch and metric series
Metric series follow ISO dimensions; inch series follow ABMA conventions common in North American equipment. Designation encodes bore, series and cup width.
Applications
Industrial gearboxes, machine tool spindles, wheel hubs, differential units, conveyor head shafts and any drive requiring controlled axial location under high load.
Mounting and adjustment
Preload, clearance and fits must follow manufacturer tables. Paired sets should be matched from the same manufacturer series. For misalignment-heavy duty, review spherical roller bearings.
Engineering support
Send bore, speed, axial and radial loads for selection assistance. Contact Golden Bearing Company with your duty sheet.
Have a part number or designation?
Send manufacturer part numbers, bore sizes or coupling designations for engineering identification and quotation support. This is an identification/interchange enquiry—not a live stock lookup or availability confirmation.
Common questions
Yes for moderate combined loads. Paired arrangements are used when axial stiffness or moment loading requires controlled play.
Provide bore, series, mounting arrangement (DB/DF/DT equivalent) and required clearance class. Manufacturer catalogues define matched sets.
