Q: What is the difference between tapered roller bearings and spherical roller bearings?
A: Tapered roller bearings and spherical roller bearings are two major types of rolling bearings. Tapered roller bearings are designed so that the points of the tapered surfaces of the inner ring raceway, outer ring raceway and roller rolling surface coincide at one point on the center line of the bearing. This type of product can bear radial loads and unidirectional axial loads at the same time, and tapered rollers are installed in the bearing. The product has a variety of structural forms such as single row and double row. It is suitable for occasions with heavy loads, impact loads and high requirements for speed. Spherical roller bearings are also called spherical roller bearings. The raceway of the outer ring is spherical, the inner ring is a double row raceway, and two rows of symmetrical or asymmetrical spherical rollers are installed inside. This type of product has a certain degree of spherical and performance, but the maximum is not allowed to exceed 2.5°. This type of product mainly bears radial loads and bidirectional axial loads. This type of product is suitable for occasions with heavy loads and impact loads at low and medium speeds. The following is a structural diagram of these two types of products.
