Tapered Roller Bearings
High-Performance Tapered Roller Bearing Solutions for Challenging Industrial Applications
Schaeffler tapered roller bearings are convincing due to their high load carrying capacity and precise shaft guidance in an ever smaller installation space. They consist of an outer ring (cup) and an inner ring with roller and cage assembly (cone). A window cage guides the tapered rolling elements and ensures a uniform load distribution. For technical reasons, single-row tapered roller bearings are almost always adjusted against a second tapered roller bearing in a mirror arrangement in order to satisfy the highest requirements. Their separability allows flexible mounting because the inner ring, rollers, and cage can be installed separately from the outer ring.
Product Characteristics of Tapered Roller Bearings
With their inclined rolling contact surfaces, they are suitable for efficiently supporting both high radial and high axial loads. They run without slippage. Tapered roller bearings are particularly suitable for applications where precise shaft guidance is required or the bearing arrangement must be axially rigid, clearance-free or preloaded. Due to the combined load of the bearing, all the rolling elements of a roller set are loaded simultaneously. In operation, this leads to low-noise and low-vibration running, as well as a high adjustment accuracy. Tapered roller bearings are used wherever a compact, reliable and cost-effective bearing support with a high load carrying capacity is required. Their separability facilitates easy mounting and maintenance.
Regardless of whether it is for precise axial guidance of a shaft, a rigid, clearance-free or preloaded bearing support or for shock loads and varying speeds: With their ability to efficiently support both radial and axial forces, tapered roller bearings offer a wide range of application options and meet even the most demanding requirements. Tapered roller bearings in X-life quality set new standards with increased load carrying capacity, reduced friction, extended operating life, and increased cost-effectiveness.
How Tapered Roller Bearings Support You in Your Applications
FAG tapered roller bearings are the perfect solution for your requirements. The classic version of the bearings is characterized by its reliability and excellent price-performance ratio and is ideal for a large number of applications in which cost-effectiveness and performance are crucial factors. Tapered roller bearings in X-life quality are designed for the highest requirements, offering a very low total cost of ownership and an optimum energy balance.
Regardless of product choice, companies benefit from Schaeffler’s decades of experience and innovative technologies, which underpin the long-term success of their applications. With Schaeffler, they receive the perfect solution for their needs.

Areas of Applications for Our Tapered Roller Bearings
High radial loads combined with high axial forces, large speed ranges, precise and rigid shaft guidance, low maintenance: The use of our bearings has already met with successful results in practice across many industrial applications.
X-life. Proven to be better.
X-life is the seal of quality for particularly high-performance products from the FAG and INA brands that are characterized by longer rating and operating lives as a result of higher dynamic load ratings than the classic version. This higher performance results from the use of state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and improved internal constructions. They lead to better and more uniform surfaces and contact areas and thus optimized load distribution in the bearing. As a result, the X-life bearing makes a significant contribution to improved overall cost-effectiveness under the philosophy of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Your Advantages Compared to the Conventional Version
This Opens up Expanded Design Possibilities:
-
Under the same load and with an unchanged design envelope, X-life bearings have a longer rating life and maintenance intervals can be extended. Conversely, an X-life bearing in the same design envelope and with the same rating life can support higher loads.
-
Where the rating life and load remain unchanged, X-life bearings allow higher performance density, facilitating optimization of the design envelope and reductions in mass.
-
High-precision surfaces and improved rib contact reduce friction, which minimizes heat and noise generation and has a positive effect on the energy balance of the bearing.
