Tapered roller bearings are bearings that can take large axial forces as well as being able to sustain large radial forces. Tapered roller bearings (TRBs) utilize rolling elements that are shaped like a truncated cone, and are constructed so that all tapered surfaces converge at a common apex point on the bearing centerline to yield true rolling motion. Tapered roller bearings are generally used in lower speed, high load applications and are capable of absorbing radial and/or axial loads. The internal angles may be designed to tailor the bearing to the loading demands of a specific application. Tapered roller bearings are a separable two-piece design (cup and cone) ; which, allows the end-use to optimize the internal clearance (and life) for each application when the bearing is mounted.
Europe, Japan, USA and China are the major production bases of tapered roller bearings. Industry giants, concentrated mainly in Europe, USA and Japan, prefer to account for larger market share through increasing presentence around the world. Four industry giants, SKF, NTN, Timken, JTEKT, own about 33.84% production share currently. Global revenue of tapered roller bearings was about 10117 million USD in 2015, while Timken has a share of 12.98% in the market.
In the export market, China is one of the major exporters in the world. The export volume of tapered roller bearings keeps increasing fast in the past decade. USA is the largest export destination of China’s tapered roller bearings. In 2012, USA determined to continue to slap antidumping duties against tapered roller bearings from China, which impacted the export market of China’s tapered roller bearings in some extent.
Over the next five years, LPI(LP Information) projects that Tapered Roller Bearings will register a 1.8% CAGR in terms of revenue, reach US$ 11700 million by 2023, from US$ 10500 million in 2017.
