CLI-RT crossed TAPER roller bearing consists of two rows of mutually perpendicular bearing raceways and a set of tapered rollers arranged in a 90° cross configuration. Nylon spacer blocks separate the rollers to prevent tilting and mutual friction between them, thereby reducing rotational torque. It is capable of sustaining combined loads including radial loads, axial loads, and overturning moments.

The crossed tapered roller bearing employs a large contact angle and tapered geometric design, significantly increasing the overall effective span of the bearing. The intersection point of the extended lines of the roller raceways lies on the rotational centerline of the bearing, ensuring pure rolling motion of the tapered rollers during operation. This eliminates relative sliding between the rollers and raceways, resulting in a significantly higher limiting speed compared to crossed cylindrical roller bearings, as well as lower frictional torque.
