What are cylindrical roller 
bearings?
A bearing can be of several types like needle thrust bearing and come 
with its own set of advantages. Which one you use mainly matters on the 
function and design of the product you are using it on. One of the most 
commonly used bearings is the cylindrical roller type. This article further 
provides some more information on the same. 
As the name suggests, a cylindrical roller bearing uses cylinders as the 
rolling elements. This is also the main difference of this type amongst the 
others since most bearings use balls to reduce friction. The cylinders have 
longer in length than they are wider in diameter. This provides a better radial 
load capacity of cylindrical roller bearings when compared to ball bearings. 
Apart from that, a cylindrical roller design including allows these parts to 
reach relatively higher speeds than any other style of roller bearings. 
Why use cylindrical roller bearings?
Cylindrical roller bearings have a greater radial 
load capacity; can accommodate immensely 
faster speeds and a couple of other benefits. 
This combination makes it ideal for application 
in these:
Oil and gas
Machine tools
Electric motors
Pumps
Material handling
Wind turbines
How are cylindrical roller bearings different 
than other types?
There are many types of cylindrical roller bearings, out of 
which single row cylindrical rollers are the most 
commonly used and are separable. This further makes it 
easier for mounting and dismounting. However, this 
feature also hinders its capability to support the radial 
load of certain applications. Multi-row and double row 
cylindrical roller bearings provide far better radial load 
capacity and can also transmit axial loads in one 
direction. 
Much like the other types, cylindrical roller bearings also 
have several lubrication and clearance options. The 
choice of both depends on the supplier and manufacturer. 
Cylindrical roller bearings can either be made as a full 
complement part or as a roller cage bearing.
