Tapered roller bearings feature a cup and cone assembly where the cup consists of an outer ring and the cone assembly comprises an inner ring, rollers and cage. This construction accommodates combined loads and ensures low friction during operation. Tapered roller bearings are typically used where there is a need to increase performance, reduce friction or increase power density in applications.
Benefits of Tapered Roller Bearings
- Low Friction - The optimised roller end design and surface finish on the flange promote lubricant film formation, resulting in lower friction and reduced frictional heat. Bearings can maintain preload and operate at reduced noise levels.
- Enhanced Operational Reliability - Optimised surface finish on the contact surfaces of the rollers and raceways supports the formation of hydrodynamic lubricant film.
- Consistency of Roller Profiles and Sizes - The rollers in tapered roller bearings are manufactured to geometrical tolerances and are identical. This provides optimal load distribution, reduces noise and vibration and enables preload to be set more accurately.
- Rigid bearing application - A single tapered roller bearing is typically adjusted against a second tapered roller bearing. By applying a preload, a rigid bearing application can be achieved.
- Running in period with reduced temperature peaks - Tapered roller bearings have a running period, during which a conventional design experiences a significant amount of friction, resulting in wear. With Primeroll’s tapered roller bearings, friction, frictional heat and wear are significantly reduced, if the bearings are lubricated and mounted correctly.
- Separable and Interchangeable - Depending on the design, tapered roller bearings are fully interchangeable. For eg: Single Tapered Roller bearings are separable i.e. the inner ring can be mounted separately from the outer ring. This facilitates mounting, dismounting and maintenance inspection routines.
