Tapered roller bearings have an intriguing geometry. If all rolling-contact surfaces are projected out to form cones, all cone tips converge at a single point on the central axis of the bearing. This fact enabled early machine designers to have tapered bearings fabricated without CNC equipment. The following two figures show how tapered roller bearing geometry is derived. Note how it is intuitive how the full cones roll about one another.
