Tapered roller bearings (TRB’s) from PEER make use of the
rolling elements which are shaped like a
truncated cone. The reason for this design is that all the tapered surfaces
converge at a common point on the bearing centerline, and this yields true rolling
motion. Tapered roller bearings are used for
lower speed and high load applications,
and also have the ability to accommodate radial & axial loads. The internal
angles of the bearing can be custom designed to suit
the load of a specific application.
Tapered roller bearings can be arranged face-to-face, back-to-back, or in tandem depending on the
application load requirements. Most TRB’s are mounted face-to-face or
back-to-back so that axial forces can be supported equally in both directions.
Tandem arrangements limit axial load carrying capability to only one direction.
Tapered roller bearings consist
of a separable two-piece design (cup and cone); which, enables the end-user to mount each component independently
and results in assembly flexibility. PEER mainly concentrates on manufacturing single row (TS), sealed single row (LA), and matched
pair tapered roller bearings. A sealed TRB is used to protect the
bearing from contamination due to application environment. A matched pair is
manufactured with a pre-defined axial clearance which allows user to mount
easily while achieving the proper setting for successful bearing operation.
Due to their ability to handle heavy combined loads, PEER
Tapered Roller Bearings are used in many applications within the Agricultural,
Off Highway, Fluid, Material Handling, & Industrial Transmission industries
and include applications such as tractor axles, ag implements, construction
track rollers, hydraulic pumps, bulk conveyor rollers, and speed reducer
gearboxes.
No matter what the industry is, PEER application engineers
use performance prediction tools to analyze the application and find a bearing
that exactly fits the requirement. This allows PEER to specify the right design
to meet your performance requirements the first time.
