Taper Roller Bearings

» Send Enquiry

The taper roller bearings can carry combinations of large radial and thrust loads or thrust load only. Because of the difference between the inner and outer raceway contact angles, there is a force component, which drives the tapered rollers against the guide flange. The relatively large sliding friction generated at this flange makes this bearing typically unsuitable for high-speed applications without special consideration to coolant / lubricant. Typical applications include construction machinery, gear construction, vehicle manufacture and rolling mills.

Physical Characteristics

Taper roller bearings have tapered inner and outer ring raceways between which tapered rollers are arranged.
The projection lines of all the tapered surfaces meet at a common point on the bearing axis. Their design makes taper roller bearings particularly suitable for the accommodation of combined (radial and axial) loads.
The axial load carrying capacity of the bearings is largely determined by the contact angle. The larger the angle, the higher the axial load carrying capacity.
Taper roller bearings have the logarithmic contact profile that provides for optimum stress distribution over the roller/raceway contacts
The special design of the sliding surfaces of the guide flange and large roller ends considerably promotes lubricant film formation in the roller end/flange contacts.

Applications Of Taper Roller Bearings

In many applications taper roller bearings are used in back-back pairs so that axial forces can be supported equally in either direction.
Pairs of taper roller bearings are used in car and vehicle wheel bearings where they must cope simultaneously with large vertical (radial) and horizontal (axial) forces.

Taper Roller Bearings Design

Tapered roller bearings consist of four basic components including the cone (inner ring), the cup (outer ring), tapered rollers, and a cage (roller retainer). Tapered roller bearings are designed such that their conical rollers and raceways are arranged so that all elements of the roller and raceway cones meet at a common apex on the bearing axis. The rollers are guided by the contact between the large end of the roller and the rib on the inner ring (cone).

This construction provides a high capacity for radial loads, axial loads, and combined loads. The larger the contact angle, the greater the loading capacity becomes. When a pure radial load is placed on the bearing, an induced load in the axial direction is also generated. So, these bearings are generally used in pairs opposing each other.

Proper running clearance or preload can be obtained by adjusting the distance of the two bearings against one another. Since the inner (cone) and outer (cup) rings are separable, each ring can be mounted individually, allowing both rings to use tight fitting practices, if desired.

Both metric and inch systems are standardized by bearing series and both systems are widely used. The metric system is specified in ISO (ISO 355) and JIS 1512, and the inch system (including J-series) is standardized in AFBMA standard.

Press steel cages are generally used in these bearings, however, large-sized bearings use machined or pin type cages. Smaller sizes sometimes use plastic cages depending on the application.

Subunits

Tapered roller bearings can be disassembled into subunits, that is, the inner ring with rollers (cone) and the outer ring cup). The subunit dimensions are standardized in ISO or AFBMA standards. The unified subunits provide interchangeability within each dimensional standard, Classes 0 and 6X of JIS for the metric system standards (ISO or JIS); with Classes K, N, and C for the J-series (AFBMA); and with Classes 4, 2, and 3 for the inch system (AFBMA). Furthermore, since high precision grade bearings are not interchangeable these bearings should be used by assembling subunits with the identical manufacturing number.

Types Of Taper Roller Bearings

The most common types are:

Single-row tapered roller bearings
Double-row tapered roller bearings
Four row tapered roller bearings

Single-row tapered roller bearings
Characteristics

There are both metric and inch series, and they have been standardized as shown in the following table.

Dimension series

	Metric series	Inch series
Regulations	· JIS..B 1512 · ISO 355....	· ABMA (includes metric J-series)
Basic number	Example 30210, T2EE040	Inner ring no. / outer ring no. ("J" appears at the beginning of the basic number in the case of J-series.)

¤ ..Dimension series previously not covered by 3XX are regulated under JIS B 1512;
¤ ..Dimensions previously missing from 3XX will henceforth use the bearing number.

In addition to level type, there are also medium contact angle and large contact angle types, and the contact angle code C and D, respectively, is appended to the basic numbers of the latter two types.
Subunits
Tapered roller bearings can be disassembled into parts .. the inner ring, rollers, and cage (collectively known as the "cone") .. and the outer ring (known as the "cup"). These are the bearing’s "subunits". Subunit dimensions are standardized under ISO or ABMA standards, and unified subunits are interchangeable within each dimensional standard. However, high precision grade bearings are generally not interchangeable, and these subunits must be used by assembling only subunits with identical manufacturing numbers.

Aside from any cautionary notes that may appear, the single row tapered roller bearings listed in the dimension tables have subunits standardized for both metric and inch systems (including J series) (Refer to Diagram 2)
These bearings are constructed to have a high capacity for radial loads, axial loads, and combined loads. The larger the contact angle, the greater the axial load capacity becomes. When a pure radial load is placed on the bearings, an induced load in the axial direction is also generated, and so these bearings are generally used in pairs arranged face to face.
When used in pairs, proper internal clearances and preload can be set by adjusting the distance between the two bearings' inner and outer rings.
Single row tapered roller bearings are separable, so both the inner and outer rings can be used with tight fits.
Tapered roller bearings are also manufactured with flanges attached to the outer rings. For more details, contact NTN Engineering. (Refer to Diagram 3)

Specifications & Standards

Dimensions - The boundary dimensions of the drawn cup needle roller bearings are in accordance with ISO.

Tolerance - They are manufactured to Normal tolerances as standard. Some are available with reduced width tolerance to tolerance class specifications.

Misalignment - They are designed to adjust to limited angular misalignments of the inner ring with respect to the outer to a few minutes of the arc.

Internal Clearance - The internal clearance for single row angular contact ball bearing is obtained after mounting and depends on the second bearingthat provides a location in the opposite direction.

Minimum load - For satisfactory operation, the bearings must be subjected to the minimum load that is calculated by

F_rm = 0,02 C

where
F_rm , =, minimum radial load, kN
C, =, basic dynamic load rating

Double-row tapered roller bearings
Characteristics

Back-to-back arrangement (using double row outer rings) and face-toface arrangement (using double row inner rings) are both available, and they have been adjusted so that each type's internal clearance values are fixed. Therefore, only parts with identical manufacturing numbers can be used and they must be assembled according to their code numbers. (Refer to Diagram 4)
The axial internal clearances for double and duplex bearings are listed in Table 8, 9 on pages A-58
Pairs of duplex single row tapered roller bearings are also manufactured. For more details, contact NTN Engineering.

Double-row tapered roller bearings are used for bearing arrangements where the load carrying capacity of a single taper roller bearing is inadequate. They are also used where the shaft is axially located in both directions with a given positive or negative axial play. Matched bearing sets provide an economic solution to many bearing arrangement problems and offer many advantages, including. The matched pairs of the paired bearings can be provided as

Face-to-face
Back-to-back
In tandem

Advantages
These matched bearings set simplify many problems and are rather advantageous:

They allow simple mounting, and mounting errors are avoided
Exact axial location of the shaft; the axial play is determined during manufacture
High radial and axial load carrying capacity
Easy maintenance

Specifications & Standards
Dimensions - The boundary dimensions of the drawn cup needle roller bearings are in accordance with ISO.

Misalignment - Misalignment faced by the matched bearings produces moment load in the bearing thus reducing its life.

Tolerance - They are manufactured to Normal tolerances as standard.

Minimum load - For satisfactory operation, the bearings must be subjected to the minimum load that is calculated by:

F_rm = 0,02 C

where
F_rm = minimum radial load, kN
C = basic dynamic load rating

Four row tapered roller bearings
Characteristics

As shown in Diagram 5, four row tapered roller bearings are constructed of two double row inner rings and two double row outer rings.
Life of large bearings is extended by using case hardened steel, hollow rollers and pin-type cages.
Used primarily where heavy load capacity is important, and in the roller necks of rolling mills.
