KT series thin section tapered roller bearings are designed primarily for radial load applications. Since these bearings have a contact angle of approximately 12° under axial load, they can accommodate a reasonable amount of axial load.
Tapered roller bearings feature a cup and cone assembly. The cup is comprised of the outer ring and the cone assembly consists of an inner ring, rollers and a cage. The projection lines of the raceways meet at a common point on the bearing axis defined by the contact angle α (apex point A) to provide a true rolling action and therefore low frictional moments during operation.
KT series tapered roller bearings can be customized to meet specific application needs.
KT series thin section tapered roller bearings are beneficial in applications where the specific features of a thin section bearing and high load carrying capacity are important, including:
