Tapered Roller Bearings
Tapered roller bearings are separable rolling bearings with conical rollers and raceways converging towards a common point. They carry combined radial and one-direction axial loads, while opposed or paired arrangements locate a shaft in both directions and permit controlled setting during assembly.
