1. Due to tapered design, the bearing is able to carry a combination of significant radial & axial loads in particular in Cold Rolling Mills.

2. Depending upon the anticipated application loads, a higher radial capacity series or a higher axial capacity series is chosen. In almost all cases of 4 high or 6 high cold rolling mills, there is no need for an additional axial bearing in the assembly. This will contribute to a cost reduction in the overall assembly of back up rolls.

3. The most important advantage which a 4 Row Taper Roller Bearing has over Spherical roller bearing is that 4 Row taper roller assemblies are used mostly on roll neck application where high radial loads are carried and limited radial space is available.
