Bearings are an essential part of industrial machinery. A bearing's goal is to ensure motion is regulated in a moving part and help reduce friction.

We thought it would be advantageous to create a series of posts that included the main roller bearings types you may need for your projects. The 5-part series will consist of today's topic—Cylindrical Roller Bearings answers to your cylindrical questions, Spherical Roller Bearings, Tapered Roller Bearings, Needle Roller Bearings, and Cross Roller Bearings.

Types of roller bearingsand their uses

The cylindrical roller bearings have a high radial load capacity and are suitable for high speeds. They are in linear contact with the raceways. They are designed to be reliable and a good fit for the environment.

Types of roller bearingsand sizes

Know the amount of bearing load your application requires when deciding the best bearing for the job. Typically smaller/lighter loads work best with ball bearings, and heavier load applications work best with roller bearings.

Types of bearings

In general, roller bearings offer higher load capacities than ball bearings of the same size. The other significant difference between the two bearings is their contact area. For ball bearings, the contact area is a single point where the roller bearings hit a much larger area.

– Radial load: perpendicular to the axis, act as right angles to the shaft (bearing's axis of rotation). – Axial (thrust) load: parallel to the axis of rotation, acts in the same direction as the shaft. It is considered when the load is parallel to the post.

Designed to fit standard 8mm axles, these bearings are compatible with most roller skate wheels and are easy to install. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, these bearings are the ultimate choice for anyone who wants to skate faster, smoother, and with more control.

The bearing is highly versatile and can be used for many applications. There are several different types of cylindrical roller bearings on the market.

They vary according to the number of rows of rollers (usually one, two, or four) and if there's a cage or not. No cage allows for the bearing to have more rows, which helps support even heavier radial loads. [source]

Crafted with precision engineering and high-quality materials, these bearings are designed to provide optimal speed, durability, and performance. With an ABEC-3 rating, they offer a great balance of speed and durability, making them the perfect choice for anyone who wants to take their skating game to the next level.

When choosing a bearing, you must consider several essential factors. The first factor to consider is the load that the bearing can support—load capacity.

However, there are several types of bearings to choose from, each having its own purpose with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Bearings Manufacturing Company is committed to being a world-class provider for modified and manufactured ball and roller bearing products. Because of this, we have worked with all types of roller bearings in many different applications across all industries.

Cylindrical roller bearings are similar to radial ball bearings in that they are designed to carry a radial load while minimizing friction. Cylindrical roller and radial ball bearings can also handle a small amount of axial loads depending on the application and internal design of the bearings.
