Single row tapered roller bearings

Single direction tapered roller thrust bearings are produced in three different designs. The first one features a shaft washer with a tapered raceway, a two–piece machined brass cage, one row of tapered rollers and a flat housing washer. They have a separable design so, washers and cage–tapered roller assembly can be mounted separately. They can accommodate axial forces only in one direction and are able to accept a small eccentricity between shaft and housing without compromising their performances. The second design has two identical tapered washers and a two–piece machined brass cage. It has a separable design so, washers and cage–tapered roller assembly can be mounted separately.

This configuration is normally suggested where very heavy axial loads acting only in one direction
have to be supported. On request for an increased carrying capacity, a full complement (cageless design) can be manufactured. Bearing TKSD design for screw down mechanism is subjected to extremely
heavy axial loads in one direction and, in order to maximize the load carrying capacity, this kind of bearing is normally full complement (cageless).
