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 ...

Thrust bearings support axial loads on rotating shafts. Designs range from simple, coin-sized flat washers in household appliances to sophisticated assemblies several feet in diameter for ...

Fluid film thrust and journal bearings should provide plant operators with years of worry-free operation. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Too often, premature bearing failure results in ...
