Cylindrical Roller Bearings

Cylindrical roller bearings are also available in sealed or split designs. In sealed bearings, the rollers are protected from contaminants, water and dust, while providing lubricant retention and contaminant exclusion. This provides lower friction and longer service life.Cylindrical Roller Bearings are bearing in which cylinders are used as the rolling elements as opposed to balls in ball bearings. As such, the rollers have a greater (linear) contact area with the outer ring and are distribute loads across a broader surface.

A cage-guided cylindrical roller bearing helps keep the rolling elements in place, which becomes more crucial as loads get heavier. A cylindrical roller bearing can support light-thrust movement, with the double-row type also able to support axial loads in both directions.Cylindrical roller bearings have a high radial load capacity because the rollers and raceway are in linear contact, and they are suitable for applications that provide heavy radial and impact loads.
