Where should I use a bearing with a tapered bore?
Bearings with tapered bores are particularly useful for applications that need minimal noise, friction and vibration. They're typically made up of a cup and cone assembly in which the cup serves as the outer ring and the cone consists of the inner ring, cage and rollers. This design gives it a sturdy structure that helps to limit unwanted movement.
