**Introduction to NTN Tapered Roller Bearings (Metric ISO Series) and Components**

NTN’s **Metric ISO Series Tapered Roller Bearings** are precision-engineered components designed to deliver exceptional load capacity, durability, and performance in demanding industrial and automotive applications. These bearings are built to meet **ISO metric standards**, ensuring compatibility and interchangeability with global bearing systems while offering superior reliability under combined radial and axial loads.

### **Technical Features & Design Advantages**
NTN’s tapered roller bearings consist of four key components—the **inner ring (cone), outer ring (cup), tapered rollers, and cage**—each optimized for high-performance operation:

– **Optimized Roller & Raceway Geometry**: The precision-ground tapered rollers and raceways distribute loads evenly, minimizing stress concentrations and extending service life.
– **High-Grade Materials**: Manufactured from **clean, high-carbon chromium steel** with advanced heat treatment, these bearings resist wear, fatigue, and deformation under heavy loads.
– **Robust Cage Designs**: Options include **steel, brass, or polyamide cages** to suit high-speed, high-temperature, or corrosive environments.
– **Interchangeable Cups (Outer Rings)**: The **Metric ISO Series cup** is designed for easy replacement and seamless integration with standardized housing systems.

### **Performance Benefits**
– **Superior Load Handling**: Engineered to support **combined radial and thrust loads**, making them ideal for applications with complex load dynamics.
– **Reduced Friction & Heat Generation**: Precision machining and optimized surface finishes enhance lubrication efficiency, lowering operating temperatures.
– **Extended Service Intervals**: Advanced sealing options (e.g., contact or non-contact seals) prevent contamination and retain grease, reducing maintenance needs.
– **High-Speed Capability**: Balanced internal geometry ensures stable performance even at elevated rotational speeds.

### **Typical Applications**
NTN’s Metric ISO tapered roller bearings are widely used in industries requiring robust, precision motion control:

– **Industrial Machinery**: Gearboxes, conveyor systems, mining equipment, and heavy-duty pumps.
