About Roller Bearing

Roller bearings typically have a higher radial load capacity than ball bearings, but a lower capacity and higher friction under axial loads. If the inner and outer races are misaligned, the bearing capacity often drops quickly compared to either a ball bearing or a spherical roller bearing.

Roller Bearing Types

Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing
Spherical Roller Bearing

Spherical roller bearings can accommodate heavy loads in both directions. They are self-aligning and accommodate misalignment and shaft deflections, with virtually no increase in friction or temperature.

Magneto Ball Bearing
Single Row Cylindrical Roller Bearing

A Single Row Cylindrical Roller Bearing (CRB) is a type of rolling-element bearing that uses cylindrical rollers instead of balls. It is designed to support high radial loads while allowing limited axial (thrust) movement depending on the design (e.g., NU, NJ, NUP types).

Double Row Cylindrical Roller Bearing
Double Row Cylindrical Roller Bearing

A Double Row Cylindrical Roller Bearing is similar to the single row type but contains two rows of cylindrical rollers inside one bearing. This design gives it higher radial load capacity and better stiffness, making it ideal for heavy-duty and high-precision applications.

Four Row Cylindrical Roller Bearing
Four Row Cylindrical Roller Bearing

A Four Row Cylindrical Roller Bearing is a heavy-duty bearing with four rows of cylindrical rollers inside one bearing unit.Commonly used in rolling mills and other heavy machinery where shock and impact loads are frequent.
