FAG’s tapered roller bearings have a broad range of speeds which enables them to support high radial and axial loads. Efficient at supporting forces, they ensure a precise and rigid shaft guidance system due to the large effective distance between bearings. Tapered roller bearings can be adjusted and dismantled, which makes mounting easy. Also available in X-life quality, increasing the overall efficiency of the machine and equipment.

Tapered roller bearings are particularly suitable where:

• High radial loads occur
• High axial loads act on one side 
• Combined loads must be supported (radial and axial forces acting simultaneously) 
• Precise axial guidance of the shaft is required (locating bearing function)
• The bearing arrangement must have very high axial rigidity
• The bearing position is operated clearance-free or under preload (single bearings are adjusted against each other) 
• High running accuracy is required
• The load carrying capacity of angular contact ball bearings is no longer sufficient and the higher speed suitability of angular contact ball bearings is not required
• The bearings are not required to compensate misalignments
• The design objective comprises compact, rigid and economical bearing arrangements with a high load carrying capacity

Variants of Tapered roller bearings include:

• Single-row tapered roller bearings
• Double-row tapered roller bearings
• Four-row tapered roller bearings
• Axial tapered roller bearings
