A taper roller bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing designed to handle both radial and axial loads with high efficiency.
It consists of tapered inner and outer ring raceways, and tapered rollers, which are positioned at an angle to the bearing axis. This design allows the bearing to support significant axial loads in one direction, as well as radial loads.
Taper roller bearings are highly durable and can operate at relatively high speeds, making them suitable for applications requiring reliability and precision. They are commonly used in automotive wheel hubs, gearboxes, and machinery used in heavy industries such as mining and construction. The ability to handle combined loads and accommodate shaft misalignment makes taper roller bearings a versatile and essential component in many mechanical systems.
