The Most Suitable Cage and Application for Tapered Roller Bearings
Source: China Bearing Network | Date: July 23, 2014
Tapered roller bearings are designed with conical rollers that are guided by the large rib of the inner ring. This ensures that the contact points between the inner raceway, outer raceway, and the roller's rolling surface all intersect along the bearing's central axis. These bearings are capable of handling both radial and axial loads. Single-row tapered bearings can handle radial load and unidirectional axial load, while double-row bearings can manage radial load and bidirectional axial load. They are especially suitable for heavy-duty and impact load applications, depending on the contact angle (α). There are three types of cone angles—small, medium, and large. The larger the contact angle, the greater the capacity for axial load. One of the key advantages of tapered roller bearings is that the outer ring and the inner assembly (which includes the inner ring, rollers, and cage) can be separated, making installation and removal easier. Bearings with codes "J" or "JR" are interchangeable globally and are also used in the UK. When it comes to cages, there are several suitable options, including stamped steel cages, molded synthetic resin cages, and pin cages. Each type has its own advantages depending on the application requirements. These bearings are widely used in various industries, such as automotive (front and rear wheels, transmission, differential pinion shafts), machine tool spindles, construction equipment, large agricultural machinery, railway vehicle gear reduction systems, and rolling mill roll necks. Their versatility and durability make them a preferred choice in many mechanical systems.
