Roller bearings

General information

Along with ball bearings, roller bearings form the other large bearing family. Their operating principle is similar to that of ball bearings: cylindrical or conical rollers rolling between two rings ensure frictionless movement. Compared to ball bearings, roller bearings are usually able to withstand higher loads, especially in the axial direction. There are several types of roller bearings, which are determined by the shape of the rollers and the construction of the bearing.

Compared to ball bearings, roller bearings are usually able to withstand higher loads, especially in the axial direction. There are several types of roller bearings, which are determined by the shape of the rollers and the construction of the bearing. Cylindrical roller bearings - contains cylindrical rollers, capable of withstanding large radial loads. Tapered roller bearings - contains tapered rollers, so it can absorb combined radial and axial loads. Barrel roller bearings - contains barrel rollers, so it is suitable for bearing larger loads. Needle roller bearings - contains thin, cylindrical rollers, can be used in high precision applications.
