What Types of Bearings Are Used on Trucks?

Trucks use various types of bearings across key components to ensure durability and performance. The most common truck bearings include tapered roller bearings in the front and rear wheel hubs, cylindrical and needle roller bearings in the transmission, tapered roller bearings in the differential, and ball bearings in the driveshaft support, alternator, and clutch systems. Each bearing type is selected based on load capacity, speed, and location-specific demands to support heavy-duty truck operations.
