What Are Conical Roller Bearings (Class 7)?
Conical roller bearings, also known as tapered roller bearings, use conically shaped rollers and raceways to support heavy radial loads and axial forces in one direction. In Class 7 variants, manufacturing tolerances are significantly tighter, resulting in:
Higher rotational precision
Reduced friction
Lower operating temperatures
Improved load distribution
Long-term performance stability
Class 7 conical roller bearings are widely used in applications where accuracy, alignment, and load consistency are critical to system performance.
- Key Features of Our Conical Roller Bearings (Class 7)
1. Ultra-High Precision (Class 7 Grade)
Class 7 bearings are manufactured to extremely tight tolerances for maximum accuracy and smooth rotation. This makes them ideal for high-speed, high-precision machinery where even minor deviations can affect performance.
The tapered roller design distributes loads efficiently across the rollers, reducing stress concentration and enhancing bearing lifespan. These bearings handle heavy combined loads while maintaining stable alignment.
Heat treatment processes ensure stable performance under heavy loads and fluctuating temperatures.
Smooth raceway surfaces reduce friction, vibration, and noise. Class 7 finishing technology increases running accuracy, minimizes heat generation, and ensures consistent load transfer.
The tapered rollers are ground and finished with exceptional accuracy to ensure even load distribution, reduced skewing, and improved rolling stability—critical for high-performance systems.
With premium materials, optimized geometry, and precision lubrication channels, Class 7 conical roller bearings offer long-term durability even in demanding industrial environments.
- Types of Conical Roller Bearings (Class 7)
1. Single-Row Conical Roller Bearings (Class 7)
Ideal for applications requiring high precision and the ability to handle radial loads and single-direction axial loads. Commonly used in industrial gearboxes, automotive components, and machine tools.
2. Double-Row Conical Roller Bearings (Class 7)
Designed for higher rigidity and enhanced load support. These bearings are suitable for heavy-duty applications such as construction machinery, extruders, and high-pressure hydraulic equipment.
3. Matched Pair Conical Roller Bearings
These precision-matched sets provide superior alignment and load control, making them ideal for spindle systems, CNC machinery, and high-accuracy rotating applications.
4. Sealed Conical Roller Bearings
Equipped with seals to prevent contamination and retain lubrication, these bearings are ideal for dusty, wet, or high-moisture environments.
