Versatile Bearings for Everyday Solutions

First designed as a long-lasting bearing for wagon wheels, tapered roller bearings (TRBs) are one of the most versatile bearings, adapting to a wide range of applications and industries over 120 years. They take advantage of line contact between the rolling elements and raceways, which allows them to carry heavier loads as compared to ball bearings.

Heat treatment of TRBs is crucial to their longevity in these heavy load applications. Read more about through & case hardening, along with common failures found in TRBs and how this can help keep your facility operating efficiently.
