Tapered Roller Bearing - High-strength Steel, Separable Design With Interchangeable Cone And Cup Assembly | Ideal For Automotive Wheel Hubs And Lateral Load Resistance

Tapered roller bearings are produced by SKF in many designs and sizes to match their many uses.Tapered roller bearings are a unique subset of axial roller bearings in which the rollers are tapered rather than straight right cylindrical. The roller shape allows thrust loads to be withstood in addition to the radial loads. A familiar application for tapered roller bearings is the central hub bearings for automobile wheels. When an auto traverses a turn, the wheels must withstand a significant lateral force, so that tapered roller bearings are necessary.

Tapered roller bearings are generally separable, i.e. the cone, consisting of the inner ring with roller and cage assembly, can be mounted separately from the cup (outer ring).The inner rings with roller and cage assembly and outer rings of AWD tapered roller bearings having the same designation are interchangeable. The tolerance for the total abutment width T of the bearing will not be exceeded if the cones and cups are interchanged.

Tapered roller bearings are separable and have the following .
components : outer ring, inner ring, and roller assembly (containing the rollers and a cage). The non-separable inner ring and roller assembly is called the cone, and the outer ring is called the cup. Internal clearance is established during mounting by the axial position of the cone relative to the cup.
