Tapered roller bearing

grabcad

Rolling element bearings like tapered roller bearings efficiently withstand both axial forces (making them top-notch thrust bearings) and radial forces simultaneously. Their inner ring and outer ring have cone-shaped grooves and tapered rollers that intersect at a single point along the main axis when extended outwardly, resulting in the coaxial rotation of conical surfaces and a total lack of sliding motion between roller tips and the OD.
