KOYO Tapered Roller Bearing, Inner Dia 26 mm, Outer Dia 57 mm, Width 18 mm, HI-CAP15579X/20

A KOYO Outside Dia- 57.15 mm Tapered Roller Bearing HI- CAP15579X/20 is a rolling element bearing designed to support both radial and axial loads. It consists of an inner ring (cone), an outer ring (cup), tapered rolling elements (rollers), and a cage that retains the rollers in their proper positions. The inner and outer rings of a tapered roller bearing have tapered raceways, which means that the surfaces of the rings are inclined at an angle to the bearing axis. The tapered rollers are positioned between these raceways, and their shape is also tapered to match the raceway profiles. When a load is applied to a tapered roller bearing, the rollers transmit the load from the outer ring to the inner circle or vice versa. The sharp design allows the rollers to distribute the load evenly over a larger contact area, increasing load-carrying capacity and reducing friction. Tapered roller bearings can accommodate both axial (thrust) and radial loads. The angle of the taper determines the radial to axial load capacity ratio. A larger taper angle provides a higher axial load capacity but reduces the radial load capacity. Tapered roller bearings are commonly used in various applications, including automotive wheels, gearboxes, industrial machinery, and heavy equipment. They are known for their durability, high load capacity, and ability to simultaneously handle both radial and axial loads.
