Cylindrical Roller Bearing
19 July 2018

Cylindrical roller bearings are bearings in which cylinders are used as the rolling components as opposed to balls in ball bearings. Because of this, the rollers have a greater (linear) contact area with the outer ring and are able to distribute loads across a broader surface. Consequently, they have a fairly high radial load capacity and are appropriate for high speeds.

Variations and Models

Mainly there are three variations of these bearings; single row Cylindrical Roller Bearings, double row Cylindrical Roller Bearings, and multi-row Cylindrical Roller Bearings.

Single row bearings come with a single set of the inner and outer ring as well as a single set of cage and rollers. Double row bearings come with two sets of inner and outer rings as well as two sets of rollers and cage. Multi-row bearings offer high carrying capacity with lower performance.

Applications Used

Available in many standard series and configurations, cylindrical roller bearings are widely used in multiple industries. The combination of high load capacity, moderate speed rating, and industry interchangeability make it one of the most popular bearing designs.

Cylindrical Roller Bearings are widely used in motorcycles, gearboxes, electric motors, railways, papermaking industry, wind turbines and pumps. Although these bearings are used in above-mentioned industries their use is not limited there because of their high performance and durability even under stressful conditions.
