Combined Load Support
Handles radial and axial loads together.
Tapered Roller Bearings
Combined radial and axial load capacity for axles and gear drives.
Overview
Tapered Roller Bearings
Tapered roller bearings are designed to carry combined radial and axial loads in a single direction. The tapered geometry of the rollers and raceways makes them ideal for axles, wheel hubs and gearboxes where both load types occur at the same time. Paired arrangements handle axial loads in both directions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes tapered roller bearings unique?
Their tapered geometry lets them carry heavy combined radial and axial loads simultaneously, which is why they are common in axles and gear drives.
Can they be mounted in pairs?
Yes. Back-to-back or face-to-face pairs allow axial loads to be supported in both directions and set the required preload.
Is clearance adjustable?
Bearing clearance or preload can be adjusted during mounting to suit the application.
Which brands can you supply?
We supply tapered roller bearings from SKF, FAG, NSK, NTN, KOYO, NACHI and quality Chinese and German brands.
