Tapered Roller Thrust Bearings​

Tapered roller thrust bearings are a type of bearing designed to support axial loads (forces parallel to the shaft) in addition to accommodating some radial loads (perpendicular to the shaft). They feature tapered rollers that are arranged in a way that allows them to handle high axial loads with minimal friction. The rollers are tapered, which means they have a conical shape. This design helps distribute the load more evenly and reduces stress on the bearing components. They are particularly effective in handling high axial loads and can also handle moderate radial loads. 

It is widely used in many industrial: 

• Automotive Industry: Used in vehicle transmissions, wheel hubs, and differential assemblies where high axial loads are present. 
• Industrial Machinery: Found in applications such as gearboxes, pumps, and large machinery that experience significant axial forces.
