Tapered Thin Section Roller Bearings Summary Information
KT Series tapered roller bearings offer advantages to those designs requiring a bearing of higher capacity, which would benefit from the many unique advantages of a thin-section bearing. KT tapered roller bearings are used to advantage in applications ranging from oil field equipment to machine tool tables where space and weight considerations are meaningful. Standard tapered thin section roller bearings, KT Series, have races and rollers of through-hardened AISI 52100 steel with a one-piece stamped steel cage. They can be furnished, when specified, in pairs match ground for use with or without spacers. The Tapered Roller Bearings in this catalog are of the single-row radial type, designed primarily for application of radial load. While of separable construction, the rolling elements are retained in the separator. Since this bearing assumes a contact angle of approximately 12° under an axial force, it does have a reasonable amount of thrust capacity. This capacity is uni-directional and is realized when the axial force is applied to the wide faces of the races. As in the case of the angular contact ball bearing, the single row tapered thin section roller bearing is commonly mounted in opposition to another bearing (usually of similar construction) to provide an axial force for establishing and maintaining the angle of contact. Two bearings of this type of thin section bearing may be mounted with the lines of contact converging outside of the bearings (back-to-back) or inside (face-to-face) with the former preferred for stability in the presence of overturning load.
