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.

Application: Automotive front, rear, transmission, differential, pinion shaft, spindle, construction machinery, large-scale agricultural machinery, railway vehicles, gear reduction rolling mill roll neck small deceleration devices.
