Tapered roller bearings are designed to handle both radial and axial loads. They have a tapered inner raceway (called the cone), a tapered outer raceway (called the cup), and conically shaped tapered ...

Wind turbines are fitted with multiple bearings that each wear differently. Today, larger stresses in larger turbines are testing conventional bearing designs, particularly in mainshafts. Photo ...

Bearings in precision equipment such as computer disk-drive spindles, laser scanners/printers, and gyroscopes, need excellent stiffness and damping qualities to run true at high speeds. Until recently ...
