A: Tapered roller bearings are separate bearings. Both the inner and outer rings of the bearing have tapered raceways. This type of bearing is divided into single, double and four-row tapered roller bearings according to the number of rollers installed. Single-row tapered roller bearings can support radial loads and axial loads in one direction. When the bearing is subjected to a radial load, an axial component will be generated, so when another bearing that can bear the axial force in the opposite direction is needed to balance it.
Tapered roller bearings mainly bear radial and axial combined loads. Bearing capacity depends on the raceway angle of the outer ring.
The larger the carrying capacity. This type of bearing is a separate bearing, which is divided into single row, double row, and four-row tapered roller bearings according to the number of rolling elements in the bearing
Ball bearings cannot withstand heavy loads and are more common in light industrial machinery.
