This one supports radial load efficiently

The design of Tapered roller bearing support in application for roll neck type as in transmission, steering mechanism. Rolling mills, gear reducers and geared shafting etc. This type of bearing is broadly used in pair so as to ensure that the radial load is handled properly. One can buy the bearings as per requirement directly from the wholesaler or manufacturer depending on convenience but never compromise on quality.
