Cone for Tapered Roller Bearing - Inch Series and J Series

Tapered roller bearings are designed so the inner/outer ring raceway and apex of the tapered rollers intersect at one point on the bearing centerline. By receiving combined load from inner and outer ring, the rollers are pushed against the inner ring rib and guided by rib.

Induced force is produced in the axial direction when a radial load is applied, so must be handled by using a pair of bearings. The inner ring with rollers and outer ring come apart, thus facilitating mounting with clearance or preload.

Assembled clearance is however hard to manage and requires special attention. Tapered roller bearings are capable of supporting large loads in both the axial and radial directions.

NTN bearings with 4T-, ET-, T- and U attached to the Part number conform to ISO and JIS standards for subunit dimensions (nominal contact angle, nominal small end diameter of outer ring) and are internationally interchangeable.

NTN also has a line of case hardened steel bearings designed for longer life (ETA-, ET-, etc.). NTN tapered roller bearings also include bearings with two and four row of tapered rollers for extra-heavy loads.
