In recent years, the appearance of double row tapered roller bearing automobile bearing with flange structure has further improved the quality, with better performance and reliability. This kind of high performance bearing is being acknowledged by the market. Because it has good reliability and bearing capacity, it is often used as hub bearing of driving wheels. Its inner size is large, at a range of 43-58 mm, so the structure of the whole car is more compact and the reliability is improved. Its structure is as shown in the picture below:
