Tapered roller bearings feature a cup and cone assembly. The cup is comprised of the outer ring and the cone assembly consists of inner ring, rollers, and cage. This bearing construction accommodates combined loads and provides low friction during operation. By adjusting one single row tapered roller bearing against a second tapered roller bearing and applying a preload, a rigid bearing application can be achieved.
In addition to the bearings presented in this section, BBI supplies tapered roller bearings for special application requirements including:
On request, BBI can also supply customized tapered roller bearings for various operating conditions to meet the customer and application requirements.
Single row tapered roller bearings are typically used in applications with combined loads. Single row tapered roller bearings can also be used in sets. Single row tapered roller bearings can be matched face-to-face, back-to-back or in tandem to deliver specific advantages depending on operating conditions.
Double row tapered roller bearings are typically used in gearboxes, hoisting equipment, rolling mills and machines in the mining industry.
Four row tapered roller bearings are used almost exclusively in work roll applications such as rolling mills.
