These four basic parts work together to enable the tapered roller bearing to support radial and axial loads, provide precise motion control, and withstand the demands of various applications.

The researchers plan to partner with industry leaders to commercialize the technology and bring it to market as quickly as possible. They also plan to continue their research to further improve the performance and durability of the bearings.

   - Spherical Roller Bearings: Spherical roller bearings are designed to accommodate heavy radial and axial loads, as well as misalignment and shaft deflection. They are commonly used in applications where high load capacity and the ability to compensate for misalignment are essential, such as in heavy machinery, mining equipment, and industrial gearboxes.
