Different Uses and Advantages

The bearings act as a bridge between machinery and various mechanical components, thus helping them to reduce friction. It facilitates the movement of components through the cylinder as a roller element that can bear heavy loads and can be used in a variety of heavy-duty machinery. Specifically designed to cater to extreme mechanical conditions, these bearings can support heavy radial loads. These types of bearings have linear contact areas with outer rings, making them distribute loads on a broader surface area. 

Uses of Cylindrical Roller Bearings

• Axial Displacement: The bearings are designed to support axial loads and facilitate movement to and from axial directions within the machinery. The N and NU types of cylindrical roller bearings are perfect use cases for axial displacement, as single-row cylindrical roller bearings offer the scope of axial displacement in some limits relative to the housing.

• Withstand Incidental Thrust Loads: The thrust load is a load that is applied parallel to the rotation of the axis. The NF, NJ, and NUP series of cylindrical roller bearings are designed in such a way as to withstand incidental thrust loads apart from radial loads.

• Uses in Heavy Machinery and extreme systems: The cylindrical roller bearings are used in high-speed systems and can be deployed for high-performing systems such as agricultural machinery, wind turbines, mining machines, etc.

Advantages of Cylindrical Roller Bearings

The performance and design are why cylindrical roller bearings are suitable for specific applications. It offers varied advantages, which are as follows:

1. It has a higher resistance to fatigue and shock than a ball bearing.

2. It Offers simple mounting and dismounting due to its unique design.

3. It is designed to take the combined radial load (N and NU type) and thrust load (NJ and NUP type).

There are different types of Roller Bearings available in the market. Still, specifically, as per the use cases, the cylindrical roller bearings are designed to cater to machinery’s unique high-performing needs. Moreover, due to its characteristics and operability, it suits well for extreme mechanical conditions.
