Tapered Roller Bearing Distributor

Tapered Roller Bearings are precision-engineered components designed to support combined radial and axial loads. Each bearing consists of separable parts: an inner ring (cone), an outer ring (cup), and tapered rollers positioned between them. The tapered design allows for line contact between the rollers and races, enabling efficient load distribution and reduced friction, especially under heavy-duty conditions.

The geometry of these bearings is what sets them apart. The inner and outer raceways, along with the rollers, are all shaped to converge at a common point on the bearing axis, allowing the bearing to accommodate both axial (thrust) and radial loads. The steeper the cup angle, the more axial load the bearing can support — making it a perfect solution for demanding industrial applications.

Our Product Offering

At MPI, we stock a wide selection of Single Row Metric Tapered Roller Bearings, designed to perform across a broad spectrum of applications — from extra-light to extra-heavy duty. All our tapered roller bearings are manufactured from durable chrome steel for maximum strength and resistance to wear.

We also offer sealed tapered roller bearings for environments where dust, moisture, or other contaminants are a concern. These sealed units provide additional protection and help reduce maintenance intervals.
