In automobile gearboxes and construction machinery, tapered roller bearings are the main players in bearing weight. This roller design with one end larger than the other is particularly good at dealing with various "high-pressure" situations.
The secret lies in its obliquely arranged rollers. When axial force is applied, the force will be decomposed along the inclined surface of the roller, just like carrying a heavy object with your shoulders is more labor-saving than carrying it with your hands. This structure allows it to withstand both radial force and unidirectional axial force, and it is generally used on truck wheel hubs.
There are three key points to consider when choosing tapered bearings:
1. The contact line between the roller and the raceway must be long enough
2. The cage must be strong and not easily deformed
3. The high-temperature resistance of the grease must be good
From agricultural machinery to wind power, tapered bearings can basically be seen wherever radial and axial forces need to be dealt with at the same time. This ingenious device uses the principles of physics to solve big engineering problems.
