395 A/394 A/Q Taper Bearing SKF

SKF is a well-known manufacturer of bearings, including taper roller bearings. Taper roller bearings are designed to handle both radial and axial (thrust) loads. They have an inner ring (cone), an outer ring (cup), tapered rollers, and a cage to keep the rollers separated and evenly spaced.

Here is a breakdown of the components and their functions in an SKF taper roller bearing:

• Inner Ring (Cone): The inner ring, also known as the cone, is the part of the bearing that mounts onto a shaft. It is designed to provide a precise and secure fit with the shaft, allowing for rotation.
• Outer Ring (Cup): The outer ring, or cup, is the part that houses the rollers and provides support to the bearing assembly. It typically has a slightly larger diameter than the inner ring and may have a flange or raceway for additional stability.
• Tapered Rollers: The tapered rollers are the primary load-bearing components of the bearing. They are positioned between the inner and outer rings and are designed to distribute loads evenly while facilitating smooth rotation. The tapered shape allows the rollers to handle both radial and axial loads.
• Cage: The cage, sometimes called a retainer, is a component that keeps the rollers separated and evenly spaced within the bearing assembly. It is usually made of steel or other durable materials and helps to maintain the proper alignment of the rollers.

Taper roller bearings offer several advantages, including high load-carrying capacity, reduced friction, and the ability to accommodate both radial and axial loads. They are commonly used in various applications, such as automotive wheels, industrial machinery, and heavy equipment, where reliable and efficient rotation is required.

Please note that specific SKF taper roller bearing models may have additional features or variations depending on their intended use and design. It is always recommended to refer to the product documentation or consult with SKF or an authorized distributor for detailed information on a particular bearing model.
