The ball guides and inner and outer rollers of this type of bearing are made with a cone so that the planes of the guide surfaces and the roller shaft meet at a point. The rollers are guided by the cone (inner ring) of the rear face rib. A single-row tapered roller bearing can support a combined radial and axial load. If a radial load or a bidirectional axial load is to be carried, a pair of bearings must be used in a "face-to-face" or "back-to-back" arrangement.

Tapered roller bearings can be separated into the following components: outer ring, inner ring, and roller assembly. The non-separable inner ring and roller assembly are called the "cone," and the outer ring is called the "cup." The internal clearance is established during assembly by the axial positioning of the cone in relation to the cup. This type of bearing can be used in a preload situation to obtain greater rigidity and better shaft operating precision.
