- High load carrying capacity
Depending on the design, matched bearings are suitable for heavy radial and axial loads. The axial load carrying capacity of tapered roller bearings increases with increasing contact angle.
- Axial loads in both directions
Depending on the design, matched bearings can locate the shaft axially in both directions with a specific axial clearance or preload.
- High stiffness
Depending on the design, matched bearings can provide a relatively stiff bearing arrangement.
- Delivered as a set
The bearings and ring spacer(s) are matched in production, are delivered as a set and are ready-to-mount.
- Low friction
The projection lines of the raceways of each single bearing meet at a common point on the bearing axis to provide a true rolling action and therefore low frictional moments during operation.The optimized roller end design and surface finish on the flange of each single bearing promote lubricant film formation, resulting in lower friction. This also reduces frictional heat and flange wear. In addition, the bearings can better maintain preload and run at reduced noise levels.
- Enhanced operational reliability
Optimized surface finish on the contact surfaces of the rollers and raceways supports the formation of a hydrodynamic lubricant film.
