Montagem de rolamentos de rolos cônicos

Tapered roller bearings can be set at initial machine assembly to any desired axial or radial clearance. This unique feature enables a designer to control bearings to meet anticipated application operating conditions, and thereby provide optimum bearing and system performance. Some advantages of tapered roller bearings pertaining to setting include: • Longer bearing life, achieved by optimizing bearing settings while meeting application performance requirements. • Increased mounting stiffness, achieved by properly set tapered roller bearings resulting, for example, in better gear contact and longer gear life. • Easier assembly because cone and cup are separable. • The bearings can be set at the time of machine assembly, allowing wider shaft and housing tolerances. The setting of tapered roller bearings can be readily accomplished by a wide variety of viable methods. These bearings can be set manually, supplied as preset assemblies, or set by automated techniques. There are a number of approaches, considerations and advantages of each with special focus on five popular automated techniques.
