Description
Overview:
Cylindrical rollers bearings are essential components used in various industrial applications to support radial loads and high rotational speeds. It consists of an inner ring, an outer ring, cylindrical rollers, and a cage. The inner and outer rings have raceways, and the cylindrical rollers are arranged between these raceways. The cage keeps the rollers evenly spaced and prevents them from coming into direct contact with each other. Cylindrical roller bearings can carry high radial loads due to their line contact between rollers and raceways. However, they have limited axial load-carrying capacity.
Features and benefits:
- High radial load capacity
- High speed capability
- Axial displacement capability
- Low friction
- single row styles are separable which facilitates ease of mounting and dismounting
- Double row cylindrical bearings can be made with a full complement of rollers
Product type and designs:
- Single row cylindrical ball bearings- these bearings have a single set of rollers between the inner and outer tings, offering basic radial load-carrying capacity.
- Double row cylindrical ball bearings- they have two sets of rollers placed in parallel between the inner and outer rings, providing increased radial load-carrying capacity and higher stiffness.
- Multi-row cylindrical ball bearings- can handle higher radial loads and are often used in heavy-duty applications such as rolling mills, gearboxes, and industrial machinery where the load-carrying capacity is critical.
Types of cage:
- Brass cage- commonly used in high-speed applications and provides good resistance to wear.
- Steel cage- suitable for heavy-duty applications and high-temperature environments.
- Plastic cage- used in applications where electrical insulation is required and to reduce weight.
Applications:
With their combination of greater radial load capacity, ability to accommodate faster speeds, and other benefits, cylindrical roller bearings are ideal for use in various industries. Here are examples of applications in which cylindrical roller bearings might be used:
- Electric motors
- Pumps
- Railway
- Wind energy
- Steel industry
- Gearboxes
- Automotive
- Mining & construction
- Papermaking machinery
- Wind energy
- Machine tools
