Tapered Roller Bearings are designed such that cup. Cone and rollers have tapered surfaces whose apexes converge at a common point on the bearing axis.

Single-row tapred roller bearing is able to carry radial and axial load in one directions simultaneously because an axial component of force is produced when this type of bearingis loaded radially, two bearings are used together facing one another, or two or more bearings are matched and used.
