Tapered roller thrust bearings are designed to accommodate heavy axial loads and peak loads. The bearings are very stiff and require little axial space.​Tapered thrust-type bearings are engineered for true rolling motion, which offers increased bearing life and additional load-bearing capacity.

Tapered Roller Bearings are used in some of the most critical applications known to industry. They address operating conditions with both radial and axial loads. The degree of safety demanded in the transportation industry surpasses all other standards.  The importance of having the bearings perform is imperative to the safety of others.  Regardless of whether the application is rail, truck or aircraft Tyson Roller bearings are designed to meet or exceed the expectations of its users.

Tapered roller bearings are rolling element bearings that can support axial forces (i.e., they are good thrust bearings) as well as radial forces.
