Bilateral double-row thrust tapered roller bearings are a specific type of bearing designed to carry higher axial loads on the roll neck of the rolling mill stands. As the name implies, they can carry axial loads in both directions.

Usually, they are more often used in modern rolling mills, working with four-row cylindrical roller bearings, and double-row cylindrical roller bearings. Compared with angular contact ball bearings, and deep groove ball bearings, they can achieve the requisite axial loads with less space of the bearing housing.
