Tapered roller bearings are designed to handle both radial and axial loads. They have a tapered inner raceway (called the cone), a tapered outer raceway (called the cup), and conically shaped tapered ...

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...

This is the third and final report in a series, Selecting, Configuring and Lubricating Tapered Roller Bearings for High-Speed Machine Tool Spindles. The first installment is Selecting Tapered Roller ...

A new tapered bearing assembly, developed specifically for roller-cone rock bits, significantly increased bit life for a Middle Eastern operator. This technology can help oil and gas customers avert ...

For the benefit of our readers, what is the principle of Aerostatic bearings, and how do they compare to roller-element or oil hydrostatic bearings? There are two types of aerostatic bearings, inlet ...

SKF has inaugurated its tapered roller bearing factory in Changshan, China. Following an investment of approximately SEK200m (US$21.46m), it says the new factory will improve the group’s ...

When a tapered bearing is subject to a load, a force develops between the roller and the cone back-face rib because the load tries to squeeze the rollers out of the bearing. Most of the load is ...
