✅ Application & Core Functions in Tapered Roller Bearings
Tapered roller bearing cages are used in tapered roller bearings to guide rollers for even distribution, ensuring stable operation of the bearing when subjected to combined radial and axial loads. They feature high-temperature resistance and fatigue resistance, widely applied in automotive hubs, gearboxes, engineering machinery and other fields.
✅ High Load-Bearing Capacity
With a robust design, they can bear large radial and axial loads in tapered roller bearings, suitable for equipment under combined loads such as automobiles and rolling mills.
✅ Precise Guidance & High-Speed Adaptability
Cages guided by inner or outer rings provide precise guidance, ensuring stable operation of tapered roller bearings in high-speed, vibrating environments (e.g., automotive hub bearings).
✅ Excellent Lubrication Performance
The cage structure facilitates uniform distribution of lubricants, reducing friction and heat generation, which helps improve bearing efficiency and service life.
✅ Wide Material Adaptability
Materials can be selected based on application needs, including stamped metal, machined metal, or polymer plastics. Stamped metal cages are lightweight and cost-effective; machined metal cages are suitable for withstanding complex forces; polymer plastic cages have low friction, ideal for occasions with specific lubrication requirements.
✅ Service Life Extension Characteristics
By optimizing the contact between cages and rolling elements, wear is reduced, effectively extending the service life of tapered roller bearings.
| Material Type | Density (g/cm³) | Max Temp | Speed Factor* | Best For |
| Stamped Steel | 7.85 | 300°C | 1.0x | Cost-sensitive applications |
| Machined Brass | 8.4 | 250°C | 1.2x | High-speed gearboxes |
| Forged Bronze | 8.8 | 350°C | 1.1x | Mining equipment |
| PEEK Composite | 1.32 | 250°C | 1.5x | Electric vehicle hubs |
| Polyamide 66 | 1.14 | 120°C | 1.3x | General industrial |
Adopting a robust structural design, it can work with tapered roller bearings to withstand large combined radial and axial loads, suitable for equipment such as automobiles and rolling mills that bear heavy loads. The mechanical properties of the material are optimized, enabling it to maintain structural stability under long-term heavy-load conditions and avoid deformation or fracture.
Achieves precise positioning of the rollers through inner or outer ring guidance, ensuring that the rollers move in an orderly manner under high-speed and vibrating environments (such as automobile hub bearings), reducing deflection and impact. The low-inertia design is suitable for high-speed operation scenarios, reducing the risk of roller offset caused by centrifugal force and ensuring stable operation of the bearing.
Special structural designs (such as hollow grooves and oil channels) facilitate the uniform distribution of lubricants to each contact point between the rollers and the raceway, reducing friction and heat generation. The improvement of lubrication efficiency helps reduce the operating temperature of the bearing, improve overall working efficiency, and extend service life.
Optimizes the contact area and angle between the cage and the rollers, reduces local wear, and lowers friction loss between the rollers and the cage. The material has excellent fatigue resistance, can withstand alternating stresses for a long time, and effectively extends the overall service life of the tapered roller bearing.
| Industry | Typical Cage Material | Key Benefit Realized |
| Automotive Hubs | PEEK Composite | 40% weight reduction vs. steel |
| Heavy Equipment | Forged Bronze | 2x impact resistance |
| Wind Turbines | Machined Brass | Saltwater corrosion resistance |
| Rail Axles | Stamped Steel | Cost-effective mass production |
