Thrust tapered roller bearings feature a special design that minimizes rolling element slippage. Compared to thrust cylindrical roller bearings, they operate at higher speeds, can withstand heavier axial loads and peak loads, offer high rigidity, and require only a small amount of axial space. Thrust tapered roller bearings are equipped with tapered rollers (with spherical ends), which are precisely guided by the flanges of the raceways (inner ring and outer ring). The design ensures that the apexes of the conical surfaces of the inner ring, outer ring, raceways, and roller rolling surfaces all intersect at a single point on the bearing centerline.
