Cylindrical Roller BearingĀ
Cylindrical Roller Bearings have a single or multiple row rolling element set based on cylindrical rollers. In contrast to the ball, the roller has a larger contact area perpendicular to the roller axis. As a result, it can transmit higher forces, has greater rigidity and allows smaller rolling element diameters under the same load.
Depending on the design of the ribs on the bearing rings:
- axial forces can be supported in one or both directions
- axial displacements of the shaft relative to the housing are compensated without constraint in the bearing (in bearings with a semi-locating or non-locating bearing function)
- the bearings can be separated for easier mounting.
Cylindrical Roller Bearings are available in various designs, the characteristics of which are optimized for different applications depending on the structure of the bearings: The bearings are available in a single or double row design, with different combinations of ribs on the inner and outer ring, a full complement cylindrical roller set and with various cage designs.
Cylindrical Roller Bearing With Cage
The cylindrical roller bearings have high rigidity, high radial load-carrying capacity and, due to the cage, are suitable for higher speeds than full-complement designs. Bearings with suffix E have a larger roller set and are thus designed for extremely high load-carrying capacity.
The bearings are separable and are therefore easier to fit and dismantle. Both bearing rings can be given a tight fit by this process. Single-row cylindrical roller bearings with cage are available as non-locating, semi-locating and locating bearings.
Double Row
They correspond in their structure to a pair of single row deep groove ball bearings but have two raceway grooves, each with one row of balls. Due to the larger number of rolling elements, they can be subjected to higher loads than single row deep groove ball bearings.
Double row bearings are used where the load carrying capacity of single row deep groove ball bearings is not sufficient. Since the bearings can also support loads due to tilting, they are suitable for particularly short shafts that are supported by only one bearing.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel deep groove ball bearings are corrosion resistant when exposed to moisture and several other media. They are available capped (with seals or shields) or open. Open bearings that are also available capped may have recesses in the ring side faces.
These bearings have a lower load carrying capacity than same-sized bearings made of high chromium steel.
