The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...

When a tapered bearing is subject to a load, a force develops between the roller and the cone back-face rib because the load tries to squeeze the rollers out of the bearing. Most of the load is ...

The useful life of a tapered roller bearing depends to a great extent on the proper lubrication of the bearing. The useful life of a tapered roller bearing depends to a great extent on the proper ...
