1. A single-cone tapered roller bearing is a separable bearing composed of 2.A cone assembly (inner ring + tapered rollers + cage) 3.A separate cup (outer ring). The taper geometry ensures the raceway apexes and roller axes converge at a point, enabling combined radial and axial load support.

They handle radial loads and axial loads in one direction. The axial capacity depends on the cone/cup contact angle—bearings with larger angles (sometimes marked "B") can carry higher thrust loads.

Because the cone and cup are separate, you can: 1. Mount the cup and cone independently. 2. Adjust internal clearance or preload during installation. 3. Easily inspect or replace one component without disturbing the rest

1. High load capacity—line contact distributes the load widely. 2. Adjustable clearance/preload—precisely tuned performance 3.Separable & serviceable design for easier maintenance 4.Rigidity and durability in heavy-duty, moderate-speed applications

1. Only supports thrust in one direction—requires pairing for bidirectional loads. 2. Sensitive to misalignment and lubrication—needs precise alignment and consistent lubrication. 3. Generally slower speed limits compared to ball bearings due to sliding components

Widely found in: Wheel hubs, gearboxes, axles, machine-tool spindles, mining and agricultural equipment, railway axles, gear reducers
