Tapered Roller Bearings

Tapered roller bearings are comprised of two parts: a cup and a cone. These bearings are designed with the rollers tattered so that the conical surfaces of the raceways if projected meet at the same point on the main axis of the bearing.
Tapered roller bearings are designed conically so that there is a larger contact surface area which enables the bearings to handle greater loads than other types of bearings such as deep groove bearings.

Tapered roller bearings created by Timken in 1898


The tapered roller bearing was invented by the Timken Company and patented in 1898. Instantly becoming popular in wheel axles, tapered roller bearings reduced the problem of excess friction and subsequent overheating previous types of wheel bearings had suffered from. The cup and cone design enabled the load to be reduced by equally distributing the weight and load across the whole bearing. Tapered roller bearings are now known for their particular strength in taking large axial and radial loads.
