Load distribution in tapered roller bearings

This paper provides a method of calculating load distribution in single-row tapered roller bearings. In this paper we consider bearings with rectilinear generatrixof rolling surfaces of rollers and inner ring. Tapered roller bearings generally work at relatively low speeds of rotation. However, there are studies with such bearings aircraft bearing assemblies at high speeds. In connection with this we have provided calculation for tapered roller bearings with different mechanical characteristics of bearing components. The influences of centrifugal forces of rollers and changes in dimensions of bearing rings due to interference fit are also taken into account.
