in Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Taylor Hobson cylindrical roller bearings are manufactured with low friction torque characteristics suitable for high speed applications. They also have high radial load carrying capacity. They are typically used in machine tools, transmissions, vibration machines and as wheelset bearings for rail vehicles. The surface finish of the tracks and rolling elements enhances the running performance and noise characteristics of these bearings. -
in Roller Bearings
Taylor Hobson is a technology company offering products for many applications, including cylindrical, spherical and taper roller bearings. Their cylindrical roller bearings are suitable for high speeds and have high radial load carrying capacity. The cross sectional shape of the track and rollers have a barrel type shape with a large radius. Their spherical roller bearings are internally self aligning, support high radial loads, and include heavy support rollers. Taylor Hobson taper designs carry combinations of large radial and thrust loads. The difference between inner and outer raceway contact angles drives the tapered rollers against the flanged guide, making them unsuitable for high speed applications.
-
in Spherical Bearings
Taylor Hobson is a manufacturer of spherical roller bearings. Most have an outer raceway that is a portion of a sphere for self aligning qualities. Each roller has a curved form at right angles to the direction of rotation. This provides a high radial load carrying capacity. Other bearing products offered by Taylor Hobson include cylindrical and tapered roller bearings, and angular contact ball bearings.

in Spherical Roller Bearings
Taylor Hobson Precision is a manufacturer of spherical roller bearings. Most spherical bearings have an outer raceway that is a portion of a sphere and as such they are internally self-aligning. Each roller has a curved form at right angles to the direction of rotation, which conforms relatively closely to the inner and outer raceways. This gives this bearing high radial load carrying capacity. Applications for these bearings include heavy support rollers, ship line shafts and rudder shafts, crankshafts, rolling mills and grinding machines. -
in Tapered Roller Bearings
Taylor Hobson is a manufacturer of tapered roller bearings. These bearings have the ability to carry combinations of large radial and thrust loads or to carry thrust load only. Because of the difference between the inner and outer raceway contact angles, there is a force component, which drives the tapered rollers against the guide flange. The relatively large sliding friction generated at this flange makes this bearing typically unsuitable for high-speed applications without special consideration to coolant / lubricant. Typical applications include construction machinery, gear construction, vehicle manufacture and rolling mills.
