What Are Roller Bearings?
Roller bearings are designed to carry heavy loads with low friction by using cylindrical, tapered, spherical, or needle-shaped rolling elements instead of balls. These bearings are ideal for applications requiring high load capacity, stiffness, and long service life in harsh environments.
Types of Roller Bearings
Cylindrical Roller Bearings: Suitable for high radial loads and moderate speeds, used in gearboxes, electric motors, and machine tools.
Tapered Roller Bearings: Handle combined radial and axial loads, commonly used in automotive wheel hubs and heavy equipment.
Spherical Roller Bearings: Self-aligning design handles misalignment and heavy loads, ideal for mining, steel, and paper industries.
Needle Roller Bearings: Compact and lightweight, suitable for limited radial space and high load applications such as transmissions.
Applications
Roller bearings are widely used in:
Heavy-duty industrial machinery
Automotive axles and transmissions
Wind turbines and gearboxes
Steel mills and paper machines
Railway and construction equipment
