Tapered roller bearings
With a wide range of designs to choose from, ALF tapered roller bearings are also customizable to match your specific speed, load, contamination, temperature or vibration conditions.
Tapered roller bearings feature a cup and cone assembly. The cup is comprised of the outer ring and the cone assembly consists of inner ring, rollers, and cage. This bearing construction accommodates combined loads and provides low friction during operation. By adjusting one single row tapered roller bearing against a second tapered roller bearing and applying a preload, a rigid bearing application can be achieved.
ALF tapered roller bearings are also made to Explorer class. ALF Explorer combines our expertise in bearing design, tribology, metallurgy, lubrication and manufacturing. ALF Explorer tapered roller bearings are typically used in bearing solutions where there is a need to increase performance, reduce friction or increase power density in applications.

How to mount and dismount your bearing?
Successful mounting is critical to the life cycle of your bearing. Proper bearing dismounting can safeguard other machine components and maintenance workers.
Bearing failure and how to prevent it
The bearing is at the heart of all rotating equipment, and the condition of the bearing often reflects how well a machine is running. Learn more about bearing damage and bearing failure – and how to prevent it.
Applications
Single row tapered roller bearings are typically used in applications with combined loads. Single row tapered roller bearings can also be used in sets. Single row tapered roller bearings can be matched face-to-face, back-to-back or in tandem to deliver specific advantages depending on operating conditions.
Double row tapered roller bearings are typically used in gearboxes, hoisting equipment, rolling mills and machines in the mining industry.
Four row tapered roller bearings are used almost exclusively in work roll applications such as rolling mills.
