Tapered Roller Bearings

Tapered roller bearings are used in a variety of industrial applications. The tapered rollers allow the bearings to accommodate heavy radial, axial and combination loads. This loading flexibility combined with a variety of configurations can be designed from single cups, double cups, and cones. This is why tapered roller bearings are designed into almost every industry, particularly large diameter tapered roller bearings.

The standard cage for American Tapered Roller Bearings is a “pin-type” design that has proven to be very successful in applications that experience very high loads and high speeds. No suffix is used on our bearing number for this cage, while other types of cages have their own suffix code.

American’s Tapered Roller Bearings are manufactured from the cleanest and finest commercially available AISI case hardening bearing steels. Standard tolerances conform to ABMA Classes 4 and 2, depending on size. Our size range for standard to special large diameter tapered roller bearings is 200mm (7.874 in.) to bore size 2135 mm (84 in.) O.D. Contact us for more information!
