Layout and Characteristics of Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Source: China Bearing Network | Date: June 2, 2013
Cylindrical roller bearings are one of the most commonly used types of rolling bearings in industrial applications. These bearings are known for their high load capacity and durability, making them ideal for heavy-duty machinery. Most imported cylindrical roller bearings are single-row, but they can also come in double-row or even four-row configurations, depending on the application requirements. One of the key features of cylindrical roller bearings is that the rolling elements and raceways have a line contact rather than point contact, which allows them to handle significant radial loads efficiently. However, they are not designed to support large axial loads. The design of these bearings typically includes a rib on the inner or outer ring to guide the rollers and prevent them from moving axially. Depending on whether the rings have ribs or not, cylindrical roller bearings are categorized into different types such as NU, NJ, NUP, N, and NF for single-row bearings, and NNU and NN for double-row bearings. These bearings are often separable, meaning the inner and outer rings can be separated for easier installation and maintenance. Some cylindrical roller bearings are designed without an inner or outer ring, allowing the inner and outer rings to move axially relative to each other. This makes them suitable for use as free-end bearings. In other designs, one side of the inner or outer ring has two ribs, while the other side has a single rib, enabling them to withstand a certain amount of axial load in one direction. Double-row cylindrical roller bearings are particularly useful in applications where high rigidity against radial loads is required. They are commonly used in machine tool spindles and other precision equipment. These bearings provide excellent performance under heavy loads and offer long service life when properly maintained. The cages in cylindrical roller bearings are typically made of steel plate stamping or copper alloy, but some modern designs use polyamide cages for improved performance and reduced weight. The choice of cage material depends on the operating conditions, such as speed, temperature, and lubrication requirements. In summary, cylindrical roller bearings are versatile components that play a crucial role in many mechanical systems. Their unique design and construction make them ideal for handling heavy radial loads, and their various configurations allow them to be adapted to a wide range of applications.
