Applications for cylindrical roller bearings

By virtue of the line contact between rolling elements and raceways, cylindrical roller bearings have high radial load capacity and are suited for high-speed applications. With a patented high strength cage design in pressed steel our cylindrical roller bearings are comprised of machined brass or polyamide and offer low noise,low heat generation and, for more arduous applications, can be supplied in a range of advanced special materials.

Some cylindrical roller bearings have no ribs on either the inner or outer ring, so the rings can move axially relative to each other. These can be used as free-end bearings. Cylindrical roller bearings, in which either the inner or outer rings has two ribs and the other ring has one, are capable of taking some axial load in one direction Double-row cylindrical roller bearings have high radial rigidity and are used primarily for precision machine tools.

There are many applications for cylindrical roller bearings. Examples include mining, petroleum production, power generation, power transmission, cement processing, aggregate crushing, and metal recycling. Some cylindrical roller bearings are used in briquetting machines, rubber mixing equipment, rolling mills, rotary dryers, or pulp and paper machinery. Others are used in construction equipment, crushers, electric motors, blowers and fans, gears and drives, plastics machinery, machine tools and traction motors and pumps.
